Hi there,

I have a Chieftec Dragon case with a front intake fan, and a back exhaust fan (and also a CPU fan of course). The system zones are at about 34C and the the CPU is at about 37C (all this according to the Intel Active Monitor). Does anyone think another back exhaust fan would do much good?

Thanks!

adding the extra intake/exhaust would let you lower their rpm through a fan controller and lower total noise.

Nice temperatures without it and it's more balanced in terms of intake/out take without it. As said above, it's quiet.

These chieftecs surprise me all the time with how well they breathe; my ideas for a blowhole in the side window and a blowhole are on the back shelf. I did add a 2nd fan to mine in front but it's because I'm overclocking and my temps are now 42 under load.
