Hey all.
 
I want to have a good cooling system.
at the momant i have one fan on the side of my case blowing air in, and one at the back blowing air out.
 
however the back of the pc is pretty close to the wall, so i dont know if this will affect the cooling?
 
i have however just ordered another 80mm fan, and was wondering the best place to put it.. and which way to point it (drill )
 
i do have an empty 120mm fan socket at the front which i will fill soon enough.. and i have also been thinking about putting an 50mm fan at the top of the case to act like a chimney, blowing the hot air out.
 
my case is pretty big, 6X 5 1/4 bays and 2 3/5s
 
i have also ordered a fan controller (6 fan speed controls)
 
AMD ATHLON 2400
ATI RADEON 9600 PRO (Overclocked)
4 HD's (with coolers attached)
 
if you guys can help with any advice i thank you in advance.
 

 
P.S i am currently runnin
ABS II = 57 <--What the hell is ABS?
RT1 = 51
 
also jsut noticed that my 3.3v is 3.504 <--what is that? and is it normal?
 
hehe thanks
