Dare I say you might have too many?

If you have a radiator mounted on the top it should be exhausting air out the top, and it seems like you're trying to steer airflow by using perpendicular fan mounting; I have no idea how well that works

I may have too many because its 35 C in my country if we are lucky that is.. Well i suspected i made something wrong with my h100. so where should the fans be mounted and face?

 

I'd just reverse the direction of the rad fans so they're pulling air from inside the case and pushing it out the top. If it's that hot I'd try figuring out where the air is actually going inside the case with all of those fans inside of it; make sure there's no pockets forming inside.

...what temperatures are you getting anyway?

 

At idle my CPU is around 38-40 and with load using prime 95 are about 65- 70. I had better scores using an aftermarket air cooler. ...

 

Considering you're only ~5c over ambient at idle I wouldn't worry about it too much if you only getting to 70c at load. I get around that with my 2500k on air; look at your other components and check their temps as well.

The GPU is 38 at idle and 70 at load too lol...

 

Those are fine; I don't think you'd need to apply more effort to reduce temperatures further unless you're trying to overclock.

 

Here is my opinion I also agree you have too many fans, I would leave your 2 140mms in the front as intake and exhaust your top rad fans and your rear 140mm take out all the others and I think you will be more then fine.

I think your floor fans is taking the cool air that your front fans are bringing in and blowing it upwards and then the extra 140 in the roof is take it out of the computer before it is even getting to any of your components

 

* As Kuudere said turn your radiator fans to exhaust out the top.
* Unplug the other top fan. It's only robbing cool air.
* Remove unused PCI slot covers to allow airflow from front to back past GPU. This usually improves cool airflow to GPU.
* Raise case up with blocks under the feet so you have 45mm clearance for airflow to fan intake.

Unfortunately I can't find a link to your case so it's kinda hard to see what you actually have.

Do you know what the air temps are in your case? That might be the best place to start. Air does not always flow the way we think it will so it's a good idea to check what the air temps are different places inside of case.

You can do this with a cheap indoor/outdoor wired remote or terrarium digital thermometer to monitor air temps. Twist a piece of stiff insulated wire into the last 8" of sensor lead so you can bend it to position sensor where you want it... like an inch in front of your GPU cooler/radiator intake.. to see what the air temp going into CPU / GPU cooler is compared to room temp. The closer it is to room temp the better.. Shouldn't be more 5c maximum, 2-3c is what I usually end up with after 30 minutes full load on both CPU and GPU.


Edit

Looks like you have a real good example of airblow going there.

I prefer more intake than exhaust. Intakes are typically more restricted than exhaust; air filter, more restrictive grill, HDD cage, etc. And don't confuse number of fans with amount of airflow... or airflow with airblow

airflow is flowing cool air from intake to component and flowing hot air from component out of case without the hot air mixing with the cool air.

airblow is lots of fans blowing air around and some of hot air from components is mixing with cool air going to components making air warmer. End result is warm air not cooling components as well as the cool air would.

 

Hot air raise upwards so i suggest you have top fans as exhaust and the rest as intake! Just my two cents!

 

I always used a thermometer lile the white one doyll posted. I get 30 c in the case.

I get so tired of hearing that.

IF there is no air movement NO FANS moving the air than yes, hot air rises. The reason for fans is so we can move air as fast and in whatever direction we want it to move.. not just allowing it to rise!

We want to remove all heated air from case without it mixing with any cool air coming in. Allowing the hot air to rise up from GPU (which is making as much heat or more than CPU) to the CPU radiator in the top means the air going to radiator will be much hotter than the room it came from!!

 

The fans in the top sould blow out not in as hot air goes up not down

You have way too much air going in with too little going out

30c when gaming? Than you are doing okay. Is that with the H100 pulling air in from the top? If it is things are not too bad.

I may have too quickly agreed to turning the H100 fans into exhaust.

Removing unused PCI slot covers to see if air flows out or in is what I suggest as first thing to do now.

 

This is why we need more separated cases like the HAF XB and Carbide 540, direct airflow front to back no problems

Hot air goes where fans push it... up... down... sideways.

Maybe too much air going in, maybe not. 30c air temp in case is probably not as good as it could be but it's a long ways from being very bad.

Can definitely help in many cases (no pun). But GPU's are still a problem.. except reference blower types... and for them to work properly they are way too loud for me. I've often wondered about putting a divider between CPU and GPU. Than building a duct from a 2x fan side vent to GPU intake fans so only room temp air gets to GPU.

This. I've got 10 fans in my case at the moment, I've got the ones on the top blowing out (2x120mm), my rad fans (2x120mm) blowing out the back, my fans on the side of my case blowing in (4x120mm), and another 120mm fan at the bottom blowing in. I like a little positive air flow as I find it helps with the dust build up, but I've never had a set up with that much positive air flow.

My case normally sits at 21C-26C depending on the heat, and how much load it's under.

 

Guys! Please someone make a more specific post. Should i have my FOUR radiator fans as exhaust? should i remove some fans? Bullet points . 1 . 2 . 3. Its easier for everyone!

Just to get it clear.
LOAD TEMPS.:

CPU:65-70 (PRIME95)
GPU:65-69(FAR CRY 3, BATTLEFIELD 3 Ultra 1080p)
Case: mostly 29 C.

Also

I removed the PCI panels and its like a turbine

.

Also having the neons on makes the case hotter by 2-5 C... damn...

Oh sorry i did not see this part of your post doyll!
this is what i needed. but the thing i don't get is about the top fan. it is pushing air IN not out. so why is it robbing air?

 

If you turn the radiator fans into exhaust the 3rd intake fan will probably suck the hot radiator exhaust back into case.

Check the air temp in front of GPU fans first.
Than check it again after you remove PCI slot covers.

 

Amazingly my GPU runs at 60 C on load.... dunno why, and i did not do anything...

 

Than I guess there's nothing we can do to help. You have 35c ambient temp. Your GPU is running a cool 60c. Your CPU idle is only 3-5c above and full load it's 30-35c above ambient.

 

Lol. I did not said I have a problem. Just needed to know if my fans were ok. Oh well thank you I guess. I will try the thing you said before and let you know.

 

jesus, that's a whole lotta fans.
its also 35c in my country but 2 to 3 case fans are most definitely enough.

I think your best bet is to move your computer to the coolest part of your room
