i have a generally small case with bad cable management(ordering a new one tomorrow). the air flow is just god awful because there are wires in the way and the only fans i have on the case are two 120mm fans(one for intake and one for exhaust) and the cpu/gpu fans as well. the cpu fan is stock so im not overclocking. im planning on buying two more fans with my new case(1 x 120mm 1 x 140mm) and will be transferring the two fans in my current case to the new one. for the time being, what should i do to maximize airflow for my pc? its overheated so bad twice this month that its shut down. the motherboard and the cpu get over 80c while playing skyrim. i was thinking of raising the cpu fan speed, if possible.

Specs:
Case: RAIDMAX Pogona 136 gaming case
Motherboard: MSI-760GM-P34(FX)
CPU: FX-6300
GPU: Sapphire R9 280
PSU: Rosewill ARC 650

in my case, these parts take up a lot of room. also this is even with the side panel off while gaming. i cant really route the wires through this case because they have rubber outlines on them
