Noticed something about my case temp...

OK, just rounded my IDE cables, and hoped that the case temp would go down.... but it didn't. So, the case temp is now about 40°, and I noticed, if the case temp goes up, also the CPU goes up, actually logical 😉 but it's: first case, then CPU and not, first CPU and then Case. Anyway, I think I will have to add 2 case fans, one in the front for blowin, and one on the end to suck the air out... what do you guys think?

Thanx
 
I saw your other post. Add one case fan in the front bottom and one up as far as you can get it in the back. You need case fans!
 
the problem is, the fans, are acutally CPU fans, but I don't need them anymore. And I only have connectors for 2 fans... I think I have to buy a splitter or something...
 
Unless they are fast fans like the deltas, using stock cpu fans won't move awhole lot of air. You should use 80mm fans, usually quieter and still move a good bit of air. Panaflo makes decent case fans...
 
The only case-fan I have now lowered my temp to about 36°, and I think that's quiet a lot for a "stock" fan. It's a Motor one fan(5000rpm) from the Pentalpha HS. It does a good job IMHO. I need to get a "Molex" connector I guess, that I connect the other spare fan (ADDA 16.1dbA fan) to the top-back of my case. I will exchange the one in the front-bottom with a 80mm fan I guess, so that more air is moved.

Another question. Is it necessary to cut a hole in the front of the case?
