Hello everyone! Just made an account here. And I would like to apologize in advance as I am new to forums and I'm sorry if I post this in the wrong thread or whatnot.
Anyways, I have a Custom Built PC. I'll leave the Specs below:
CPU: Intel I-7 860 (LGA 1156 Quad Core)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 750 TI
RAM: 3 x 4 gig sticks (2 of which are from same brand/package. Other stick was from my random PC parts I've salvaged.) And I have a 2 gig stick as well. Total of 14 gigs DDR3 RAM.
Case: Logisys CS308RD

CPU Fan: ARCTIC Alpine 11 GT Rev. 2 CPU Cooler
Anyways, I am a bit curious as to the best Case Fan setup is for the case. At the moment, I have the side window Fan (where the clear plastic side is) as an intake fan. Underneath the case theres a small vent which I also use as intake. But it isnt very good of an intake because the bottom vent is mostly covered by carpet. Theres a fan there and one twist-tied securely in the area as well. It's basically behind the clear windowed side in the front. I also have an exhaust fan in the back.
I tend to get around 28-35 C idle and when I first log on. But as I play games it obviously increases. Here's some games/applications and their CPU Temps:
Armored Warfare (New World of Tanks-Like game)= 60-80 C
Robocraft= 40-60
Exporting Windows Movie Maker video= 70-85
Anyways, I was wondering if there was any better Fan Configurations that would either be more efficient or make my temps decrease. Again, I want to apologize as I am very new to forums and threads. At the moment I am trying to use Adobe Photoshop to give a Diagram of my PC's fan placement. If there's any questions that I forgot to specify, please let me know. Also, I am 16 BUT I do know my way around PC components. No need to simplify things because I'm younger.
Thanks for reading this post and I am looking forwards to any advice.
