Hiya I have the z11 case and just got a rx480 for Xmas I noticed last night that my motherboard temperature was at 150 degrees im guessing I need a lot more cooling but on a budget so I have standard fans that come with the case x5 I understand I can add 2 more large fans but where and what size and also what type of extra power leads will I need? Thanks and happy new year!

Is it the Z11 Neo or Plus? On the other hand have you gone into BIOS to confirm that the temps are concurrent, if you've used a software to look at those readings? Speaking of which what software did you use to look at those temp readings?

Lastly, please state your full system's specs inclusive of your OS.

Zalman z11+
Os windows 10 64bit
8gig ballistix ram
8gig rx480 sapphire
Asus m5a7
I bought pc from freshtech custom build everything was already installed 3 years ago. It has rum fine on my old 650gtx gpu now I've upgraded to rx480 the heat looks like it's gone mad.
I am using hardware monitor program which is telling me the temps.
Thanks for the help

BTW I have read a lot of questions and answers on here and ordered from Amazon x2 120mm molex fans one for top exhaust and thinking the other as intake at the front.
