yea the temps aren't great plus I have no top exhaust fans. Temps don't seem to bad anymore and I'm sure with a front intake bay, and some new fans it should have a bit better.

this is everything I'm looking at ordering to lower temps. 140mm will replace stock corsair fans, panaflos for mega shadow, 120s fortop and my two slipstreams I have now will be for lian li intake with the beamair. Is there any other recomendations or components I should swap for others?

I see your a pirate

OT: what the heck is a beamair? Also as already mentioned the SlipStreams are terrible...I would replace the beamair and slipstreams with the Yate Loons from PPC while your there.

only a bit pb has been down for me tho beamair is this thing for fans made by nexus that suposedly keeps airflow fro fans move strait and together just google it. As for the slipstreams ues they do suck. So which uate loon do you recomend for a front drive bay intake? Also are those a good choice
for 140mm fans?

Besides some heatsinks I really don't like anything made by Thermalright. A yate loon for good case air flow without a fan controller? I would suggest the Medium speed ones. There is an L model for Low M for Medium and H for High. They do make Yate Loon 140mm fans as well

The medium speeds aren't that loud at all. Never seen much info on the thin version. Your probably better off sticking with the 25mm.
