Your likely issue not air enough exhaust flow though.

That might be the problem, those Tacens aura's are silent but horrible coolers

What 120mm fan should I buy for my new case. It has to be a little bit silent though, I hate those noisy fans.

I use the San and Deltas 120x38mm 106CFM fans but do take advantage of the multiple volume of fans so I can tweak the speeds down with a fan controller to attain a good temp to noise ratio.

them temps are nothing to panic about mate, still in safe range

I've never had a problem with a cheap case, it's more about positioning of cables and airflow direction, for me anyway. I always use two 80's or a single 120 at the bottom front for intake and the same up top in the back for exhaust. I like using a cooler like the 1283 pointed to the rear to keep that flow going. Never had to use a side fan because I like to keep the flow going and not interrupt it with turbulence. My son's new build has a $30 case from Newegg and his mb temps are 28c, same as the cpu idle temps. Just make sure your intake isn't clogged with wires and cables.

Yeah you'll get better temps. But to really improve them, I suggest getting a better CPU cooler. I have the Zalman 9700 and its not that great for quad cores.

Yah, I already knew that, but I already wasted $150 on four different CPU coolers and I know it can perform better with an optimalised airflow.

I've also been looking at the Silverstone Raven and I really like the looks of it. Would that be a good choice for airflow?
