Too hot for internal case temp?

Ok, my system is in my sig. It is all housed in this joint here.

I've got the fan on the side window blowing in on the mobo. The blow hole on the top going out and two 80's in the back - one suck, one blow. My internal case temps are going through the roof. I'm looking at 104F non load up to 114F - 118F load. Everything else is fine, I think CPU 45C non to 50C load and a littler lower for the mobo temps.

Performance is so/so but with this hot weather I'm starting to run into chopiness on some games that I wasn't seeing before. Not too mention, my internal case temps used to linger around 85 - 90F. I think I've got to do something.

Any suggestions here? Should I make both fans in the back blowing out maybe? Get better fans? LMK. Thanks.

I'd rather set both 80mm fans in the back to blow air out. Sucking in the hot air with one fan that the other one just pushed out of your case might not be a good idea.

You must mean Farenheit right?? Taht case you linked has a 120mm in the rear. Anyways if you have 2 80mm's in the rear set them both to suck out. Might try an intake fan in front bottem if ya got the means in taht case. Keep the top sucking out and keep your side fan sucking into the case. Update us soon.

Not to bump my thread so soon, but to answer some of your questions....

I'm made an error, it's obviously Farenheit. With it being so hot here in the northeast (bet it's worse in the south but.....:)) I can't believe how hot my case temp is getting.

Yes, I was Oc'ing the CPU but I actually went back to stock a few weeks ago when this all started happending.

Also, my case has the 2 80's and not the 120 in the back.......

I'm gonna flip that other one in the back to suck more hot air out and we'll go from there. I guess you have to figure it's always going to be hotter in that case than my room, if there is no AC in here. It's a freakin' oven.

I'll let you know unless anyone else has any other opinions. Thanks...
