Need help for case cooling

[polar]

my mobo temp is about 31-33C, a little high, right?

i know the usual way to cool a case is to put a intake fan in front, and an exhaust fan at back, to create airflow. but the problem is that my case doesn't have a place at the back for a fan, not even a place to put a hole for a 80mm fan.

so what can i do? (other than replacing the case)

should i put an exhaust blower at the pci slot? then it'd be UNDER the cpu, won't help much i guess.........
is the intake fan alone good enough to create airflow?

PLEASE.......HELP.......ANYONE?

I don't know, but your temps look okay to me. If you're concerned or having problems that you think are related to heat, and you don't want to upgrade your case you might try some case mods. There are a lot of tutorials out there which can be found by searching this forum. You can also try the 2cooltek website click on the article link for case mod articles.

Good Luck.

PS Assuming my mobo readings are right using my Asus MainBoard software, it reads 31 C and I don't have any problems with my 900 MHz Athlon.

Be sure that the power supply fan is exhausting air.

If there is no room on the back panel for an exhaust fan then you might consider putting a blow hole on the top of the case.

If you have no room for any fans, I would seriously recomend getting a new case. iIt would save cutting your case to pieces, you would have places for fans to go complete with screw holes, and you would deffinatley benifit from having nore room in your case.

would it be a good idea to put a hole and install the fan on the side panel? that shouldn't be a huge project i suppose.

A fan on the side panel could help, although I think that a top blow hole and fan would be better. A PCI blower could also help things a little, if your video card and other PCI components produce a fair amount of heat.

make a blow hole on tehe top left of the panel near the cpu

those PCI slot coolers do next to nothing, i wouldn't bother spending money on them unless you can get it for under 5 bucks
