My rig:

AMD FX8320 @ 3.8GHZ
Asus M5A99FX Pro
Gigabyte Windforce x 3 GTX 770 4GB (SLI)

Case: Rosewell Challenger

Fans:
1 x 140mm Top
1 x 120mm rear
1 x 120mm front

Cpu cooler: Corsair H60 hydro series

Right now I have the H60 mounted to the rear port as intake like the manual suggests. The top mounted 140mm fan is an exhaust and one 120mm fan o. The front as intake. I have another 120mm fan as intake blowing on the GPU's. My problem is that GPU 1 is hitting the 80c barrier and throttling back. Is there a fan config to help remove the hot air from the case better?

if its the case I just looked up on newegg put the h60 on the top

top out
back out
front in
the two on the side panel intake

download msi afterburn and do a custom fan profile for the gpus fans as well if you haven't already.

Ok. Thanks. I will try your suggestions. It seems like the GPU's are blowing their exhaust out of the side instead of back. I think I'm going to make the side panel an exhaust fan instead of intake. I think you are right about the H60 needing to be an exhaust fan as well. It seems to just be blowing the heat from my CPU back into the case.
