After installing a new Zalman ZM80A-HP on my ATI 9500 pro my case temps have gone up a bit 4-5c and my cpu temp went up also
to add to it all I have an 8RDA+ MB that produces alot of heat as most of us owners know.
My case is a Lian-LI PC 60 case with 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust, but now I'm thinking of adding another fan to the mix
but I'm not sure what would be the best place for it. I can add a second fan on the back for exhaust there is just enough room
for it to fit, or a fan on the top of the case, or one on the side of the case. Any one have an idea what would be the best way
to go.

Right now its 80f in my room and the case temp is 35c and the cpu is 50c

XP 2200+ B rev
MCX 462-U HS w\ 28 cfm fan
Zalman ZM-NB32J NB HS
Old green HS on the SB

Thanks for any advise

Top or rear would be my choice because you want to get that heat out of there.
