Hello all,
I'm using a Centurion 5 case, it has an 80mm fan in the front, and 120mm exhaust. It's a great case, but I've been keeping the side panel off just to keep things cooler inside, and because of nasty dust build up I'd like to throw it back on.
Questions:
Are these two fans enough?
There is a mount for an 80mm fan on the side panel, should I add one, and if so, exhaust or intake?
Last question, the front intake fan is blowing air right onto my hard drive. I put the hard drive pretty low thinking the air blowing on it would keep it cool, but now I'm guessing it is blocking air from moving in the case. (obviously not an issue with side panel off)
Should I move my hard drives up and out of the way?
Running a C2D E6600 Not OC, 2GB ram, and an 8800GTS 640MB vid card.
Any help on the best air flow in my situation is appreciated. I have plenty of spare fans, but really don't want to buy a new case unless someone thinks it's absolutely necessary.
