Hello, I am not sure if this is posted in the right section but I have a question regarding case airflow and cpu cooling.
I am currently using a stock intel cpu cooler (i7 860 2.8ghz), in the winter it was perfect but now in the summer my temps are at least 10 degrees higher.
My case is a cooler master scout, stock cooling. In the back 120mm + 140mm exhaust and 120mm in the front for intake.
The cpu and gpu temps are around 52 degrees on idle, and they climb to around 65-69 under load. I have been told that those temperatures are not too bad but I want to lower them. I can put up to 2 fans (120mm) on the side window. If I do would that make a significant difference?

Hopefully I will be getting a better cooler soon but until than I need to keep my system cool.
Also, if I get the fans, should they be installed as intake or exhaust? Thanks for the help.
