I'm using a BitFenix Prodigy M case with a Cooler Master EVO 212 and a GTX video card (to give you an idea of what's taking up space). There is no over-clocking.
So my temps are good. Idle, the thing runs in the low 30s, 33 C max.
Under normal use, it barely touches 60 C.
When encoding a video, it gets up to about 74 (highest it hit).
Ambient temperature is about 25.5 C (78.x F).
The problem is post-load, the temps can rest in the low 50s for awhile and take their time to climb down. This leads me to believe my temps could be better and air flow is the issue.
The video card is completely blocking the top two fans (intake). I installed a 200m MegaFlow from Cooler Master in the bottom (intake) and used the stock case fan provided by BitFenix (Spectre) as a rear exhaust.
Is there any way to improve the airfllow?
