Bad Airflow? Temps are too high I think

61C is completely fine under-load, CPUs and GPUs are designed to withstand temperatures up to 100C before shutting down to prevent damage, do you always run with the side panel off, like was that temp reading with the panel off or on? I would recommend 2 intake and 1 out take minimum.

Okay that makes me feel better, I always play with panel on.

2 Intake and 1 out take? I'm a rookie, is that push pull? Can you provide a picture? I'm sorry...

So have two intake fans in the front and an rear exhaust, minimum, If you have more fans I recommend installing an intake on the bottom and an extra exhaust on the top, not necessary but if you can it will help.

My case has 3 fans in the front. And really good air flow.

Use the fan as a push instead of a pull, and consider replacing it with a cougar vortex of noctua f12. You are right, that doesnt look to be sufficient airflow, is there a top exhaust? I find, playing with my fan controller, that the top exhaust fan on high, and the rear on low, is better than the vise versa. heat rises.

I recommend buying at least one more exhaust fan just to help airflow, your temps will most likely improve as more hot air will be pushed out, you could say your airflow is bottlenecking, chucking in a ton of intake but not enough room for it to escape. The Noctua fans are good although their colour scheme...what are they thinking and they're quite expensive so I would also recommend Corsair fans.

I have these, they perform and look fantastic + you get two fans which is nice.

just a guess, that rear exhaust looks like a silent fractal design fan or similar. They are good on noise, decent airflow, but you might consider using a higher CFM fan for the exhaust. I bought a cougar vortex for the CPU and use the EVO fan as my back exhaust. big gains there

I feel that his build is fine, just a fan or two for his exhaust will decrease his temps, The fan on the EVO is completely fine, He could also use one of the Corsair fans if he bought a dual pack which will perform good as well but your solution is a lot of hassle to be honest when the supplied fan is fine.

i dont like having my CPU hang around the max temp (61.1C). Under full load on Prime 95 priority 10 (Large FFT/Blend) at 4.3Ghz stock/auto voltage im at 54C and 64 socket ( 1 hour in). I have the FX 8320, ASUS M5A99FX PRO 2.0 + Hyper 212 EVO cooler.

His temps will be decreased with a couple of fans, his got 3 intake and one out take, his hot air is just hanging around, the cooler is adequate his airflow isn't.
