Hello, i'm wondering if this is sufficient airflow for my components(Mostly cpu) :3
AMD FX6100- OC'd to 3.7- CnC off
ASUS windforce hd7850
Corshair 500w PSU

Max CPU temp (watching youtube,steam on, late evening) =33c

That is absolutely fine.

Try putting it under stress for half an hour or so and tell us the temperature.
That airflow should be working well.

Hi
Your two top fans should be the same orientation as with one intake and one exhaust next to each other the air will short circuit from one to the other and will have very little cooling effect.
Standard orientation would be to have them both as exhausts as hot air rises.

Hm I will try..
As for putting under stress again- I will test that tomorrow.
Thanks gents

also, @makkem - if I have 2 exhausts top, 1 back and 1 intake in the bottom, wouldent there not be enough cold air?
- EDIT: The CPU Fan is facing towards the top of the case
The back fan is going out, and the one top fan is going in

The fans will pull whatever air they require from vents in the case.
The downside to three exhausts and one intake is that it will tend to pull dust into the case.
You could remove the top intake and fit it as an intake to the front of the case.
