My case's fan mounts are both right next to each other on the opposite side from where the PSU/CPU is. If I use one of these as exhaust and one as intake I get the impression they will just be moving cool air in and out of my system without removing the hot air from the other side of the case. This case also has wide grills on both sides. Unfortunately I was unable to get my money back for my 625w enermax modu 82+ but enermax has agreed to service it. Wondering if I should try my luck with the replacement and possibly more/better placed fans, or try to pawn it off to someone after I get it repaired and get a different PSU. the 82+ is only rated at 40c I've come to learn which is not very hot. Someone with my exact setup is using silverstone ST50EF-SC PSU. It seems a little expensive at $100. His core cpu temps go up to 66c but he reports his build as silent. And I'm guessing it moves a little more air since his temps are a little cooler than me with my modu82. BTW: Does anyone know if it's unusual for my core cpu temps to read as 10c hotter than my cpu temp as reported by speedfan? I'm using E8400.
