Need help with cooling/airflow (pics inside)
Hello I am have a problem with getting my system cooled down right. I'm not sure if its the fan intake and exhausts fans are not strong enough or just a problem with my airflow. here are pictures of my pc/setup (some pictures have a side by side where I wrote problem I see.http://s989.photobucket.com/albums/af13/asmd2020/ you can zoom in to see better and read what I wrote in a couple pics. Please look at how the ram is being covered by the first cooler fan the actual case design (only one fan in back now place for another, should I add one on top of the case?)
first off here are my specs:
Cpu:AMD965, Phenom II X4 3.4Ghz(stock) / 3.8Ghz(OC'd)
idle 38c load 58c / Idle 43c load 63c
Cooler: Scythe Ninja 3
Gpu:Gigabyte GTX560 Ti OC Idle 50c load 90c
Ram: 8Gigs Kingston HyperX 1600
1Tb Samsung HDD (7200Rpm)
1Tb Western Digital green HDD (for storage)
Case: Sharkoon T9 Red (value)
I have 2 120mm intake fans in front and 1 in back for exhaults, they are all the stock sharkoon fans that came with the case (weak IMO).
On my CPU cooler I have 2 120mm fans (both scythe) in push/pull both running at full speed.
My graphics card has the gigabyte turbine cooler (2 fans to suck air in from bottom and side, blowing out back of case)
and I also have a PCI slot fan to suck air off the back of the GPU. I had it flipped around to suck air off the chipset and ram but my graphics was getting to hot then.
So My plan is to by 3 stronger fans (front and back) and add a fan on top, then run my push/pull down to up so its not covering my ram....but before I cut holes into my new case I just wanted suggestions from people that know more about this than me. I have included pictures of my pc please have a look. and thanks for your help.http://s989.photobucket.com/albums/af13/asmd2020/
