presentation of my PC:
450

450
450396
600


My computer mainly heats over my GPU so i want to improve the airflow over it.
I want to add 2 fans in a row ( where the disc reader are) one is straight and the other inclined so that the iar goes directly over the GPU.

If you guys have any advice on how to do this let me know smile.gif

Well air has the tendancy do what you don't want it to do. The intake fan in the bay is a good idea, but you don't get any benefit from having the angled fan. You would just be pushing back the hot air to the GPU. Those two bottom fans should work well enough. I would say the drive fan would be more for the ram/cpu/vreg area.

well, the thing is that when i am playing VIdeo games the GPU reaches 62-64*C. Do you think i should replace the fans i have? They are the one included already with the 600T

62-64c is 10-24c below what reviewers give for load temps running Crysis. Running FurMark gave temps 81-92c Don't think you need to worry. biggrin.gif
HD 6970 CF = 88c
HD 6950 CF = 87c
HD 6850 = 82c
HD 6970 = 78c
HD 6870 CF = 76c
HD 6950 = 75c
HD 6850 = 74c
HD 6870 = 72c

oh and another question for my side panel, is the airflow stronger with 4 120mm fan or with one big one?

I say remove your PCI slot covers so air can escape easier. That would probably drop your GPU temps another 3C. You probably want to make your top fan an intake instead too. Maybe use two 120mm on top and move that 200mm back to the front.
