I have a Matrix Gaming case and I don't think it has enough air moving through it.
I've got a 3000 rpm, 80mm chameleon fan in the clear side pulling air in. 2 little Mascool 60's blowing on the hard drives and a 2400 rpm Mascool 120mm in the back pulling air out. (And the power fan.)
Is this enough? Becasue there is a significant amount of hot air flowing from the back of the case, thanks to the 120.
According to my ASUS motherboard utility... my motherboard is 29 degrees C (84 F) and it says that my CPU is currently running at 45 degrees C (113 F).
This seems too hot to me. I'm a noob (lol counterstrike)...
So ... here's my question:
I'm considering drilling some holes and self-installing some more fans. (one in the top of the case and perhaps another one on the side.) First: is this necessary? and two... how would I go about drilling the required holes?
