Here is a nice little mod that may lower temps just a tid bit for you.. especially if you have bad airflow
What you need
utility knife/scissors
rectangular small cardboard box
tape
common sense
EDIT-sorry for the bad pics for some.. my camera just wouldnt focus them all
step1.
take your little box and cut a rectangle the same size as your CPU fan
step2.
now you need to tape it all up to get the maximum ariflow and get rid of loose edges
step3.
measure the space between your cpufan and the side case fan. and cut the back off accordingly
step4.
now put on your side panel by placing the side panel fan in the little box
Now you have a new improved vent
-Note If you do not have a side case fan allready installed you will need to do this.
to do this align where the case fan with the cpu fan and mark it
then take a hole saw or a dremmel to cut a circle to accomadate your fan size
here is a template

Thats about It.. hope you enjoy
if you decide to do this tell me if it lowerd your temps some or not
