arrghh!! i am having so much trouble with the airflow in my case.
actually, it all started with the temp of my cpu, which runs at 39-42 under an average load according to both mbm5 and bios (like right now its at 40). the case temp is 30, almost always 10 below the cpu temp. i have a good copper based heatsink w/ aluminum fins- and the fan is supposed to push 39 cfm as the max airflow, @ 3000 rpms.
after replacing the cpu fan w/ several different types and there wasn't any change, i decided maybe it was the airflow in the case. i have a 120mm fan, unsure of the brand, in the front of my case as the intake, and then the psu is dual fan equipped, and then there is a rear 80mm ADDA fan blowing outwards, and then one side panel fan right smack in the middle of the window.
does anyone see any obvious mistakes i may be making here?
