Wondered if someone could solve my fan/cooling problem?

[brisk]

Yo


I have 3x 80mm and 1 x120. My case only support 1 x 120mm and 2x80mm. Two of my 80mm are 0.15 and my other is 0.07 i think. Then my slot at the back has a few more airflow holes than the one on the side. So i have a real dilemma working out which fan should go where. Im also trying to reduce the noise of my machine as well.

My 120mm is blowing in and the 80mm's are blowing out

So if you could tell me what temps are good on SPEEDFAN i could then experiment

I am getting these sorts of temps with my two most powerful but noisy 80mm fans and my 1x120mm

What case do you use? We can't try to help unless we know which case you use and what all you have stuffed in it.

Lower temps are better. In general, you want more fan capacity blowing out than blowing in; hot air should be blown out of the upper back of the case, cool outer air should be blown in at the bottom front.

What model number case do you have? A generic setup would be a 120mm exhaust fan blowing out mounted on the back just below the PS, and an 80mm intake fan blowing in over one or more hard drives at the bottom front.

First, the temps look good. 20s and 30s are fine.

But I'm bothered by what speedfan shows. Your fans RPMs are way off. The voltage readings for the Vcore2, +12, and both - lines aren't reading correctly. With this many misreads, your temps might be off also. I'd look for another monitoring program and see what it says.
