SIFU SIFU of LYN,

I need opinions to cool down this rig. I want to get more fans. But before that, need suggestions and opinions from first before doing anything. Hope so you guys not to be too harsh on me.  blush.gif
Idle 60~63c, Load 70~80+c
But, when i open my casing and use fan to blow in, Idle - 53~55c, Load - 65~70c
Anyway, my budget is about 100 bucks on everything(fans, accessories, modding without voiding warranty) i can do to cool this rig down.

Add a 120mm blowhole on top of the casing which act as exhaust. That really helps a lot as hot air tends to rise.

A couple suggestions:

1) simplest, cheapest and best result. Add a fan on the bottom of the vga card using chopstick mod

2) Or add a fancard.

3) Move your Hdd to the highest slot (it's unnecessarily obstructing the intake now) and change the rear exhaust to a 12cm fan. Almost no result but sure hell's more elegant.

May i ask what's a chopstick mod?? I am interested too.
