I have a corsair Vengeance C-70 Mid Case wit 3 stock fans. i want better airflow and my GU to drop at least 10 degrees since its between 78-85 when i play DayZ. can any one help me out with this ? i was thinking about buying 2 fans for the side of my case as intakes and replacing the back exhaust adding a top exhaust fan and adding one more fan in front as an intake. these are the fans i want: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835706036
Please let m eknow what u guys think of my idea and give me own while ur at it ! any help would be appreciated ! thanks

Those fans are pretty loud, if you put 2-3 of those in your case that could be quite annoying. Since you will be adding so many NEW fans (not replacing) you should be able to pick some quiet ones that move less air but still get good benefits from the additional fans.
the 2 fans on the side will be great for temps and think about trying to get an intake on the bottom.

it may not let your gpu drop to the temps you want, but after you have made fan changes then try blowing the dust out of the card.

if all else fails, youtube how to replace the thermal paste on your specific gpu and that should drop temps by another 3 degrees or so
