Adding fans to my Case

[tuffluck]

i have this case:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119047

this case was for my old system i built 4 years ago...but to save money i just used it again for the latest build: i5 2500k on a Gigabyte UD3H Z68 mobo, 8gb Ripjaws RAM, 700w OCZ PSU, SSD, and GTX 560.

the 2500k has a Hyper 212+ on it, and idles at 30c, 32c, 35c, 29c on each core in a room that sits about 73F. i feel like the temps are pretty good with no OC, and they don't quite reach 60c during p95 either. however, i think i could get them a little better, and think i could do that by adding a few fans.

the fans i have are 1 80mm in the bottom front, 1 120mm in the top rear, 1 165mm PSU fan, 1 120mm CPU fan. i also have a side vent and the entire front of this case is mesh. i am considering adding an 80mm to the side vent, and an additional 200mm fan (which will need to be custom modded) into the CD drive trays i am not using at the top front of the case.

how much do you think this might help temps and airflow? my PSU is modular so there aren't a whole lot of cables inside the case, so i think adding fans is the only way to decrease my temps. thanks for any help.

Adding the side fan should help alot. That fan will blow cold air directly at your cpu and ram and may help more than the ones you have going now since it will blow cold air directly to most of the components throwing heat.

i just thought adding fans was a good idea because you see so many cases that have so many fans these days, i figured it had to be good! sounds like the side one is the only worthwhile upgrade. what sort of temp changes could i expect?
