How do you think I should position my case Fans

[QueZart]

The Silent Boost RX K8 HSF has a reversed Fan it blows down instead of up

My Case is a A-Top XBlade

Currently fans are as follows

F 120 Intake - I dont think this fan does much good tho becuase of the way the HDD cage sits side ways with 2 HDD's in it this fan is mostly blocked

B 120 Exhuast

S 80 Exhuast

Also the is place at a 90 degree angle from the front fan on the bottom right side of the case for a 80mm fan currently empty, due to the design of the HDD cage tho I think this may be more effective then the front Not sure..

I dont have AC and Hot part of the summer is on its way

I have a Sempron 2800+ @ 2000ghz its a 1.6 spec chip ( I didn't OC at al last summer due to the hi'er temps on stock HSF)

I used AS5 and the set in period isn't up so My CPU temps should drop alil in the next few dayz but my current temps are

CPU 34-49
Mb 32-34


so..

Since the HSF has a reversed flow should I reverse my side Fan to blow inwards also?

Do you guys think I need to install another fan in that empty spot? If so What direction would you recomend?

Try switching the side intake so that it blows inward. The back 120mm exhaust and PSU fan are probably sufficient for fans blowing outward.

I'd think with the HS fan blowing down (towards the CPU), you'd benefit more with the side fan bringing cooler, ambient air towards the processor.
