Thread Starter 
So i decided to change stuff in my pc in term of getting better air flow and better cooling, one thing i made was remove the 2 hard drive cage since they block some air flow .

place the cage in the drive bay since im only using one slot for my dvd drive
700

700

now i get a little more air flow toward my video cards smile.gif
448

also did a bit of cable management in back (better than what i had before lol) still have to do some on the inside
