i have two fans in my case, not including the fan on the PSU, should i have them blowing air in or blowing air out, 1 fan is on the side (middle) and the other is in the back.
 
the side should be intake and the one in the back should be exhaust ;)
 
cool air should be going in the front and left side (or side the cpu is facing, some cases are different) and warm out the back and top.
 
i changed my fans so the left center fan is acting as an intake and the back fan is an exaust, i havent noticed much of a change in temps though only about 2 degrees. i asked about this thinking that my EVG 6800GT was running hot the temps are
idle about 52-54
load about 70 - 80

only a few games run to the high 70 never higher than 80, do things seem ok to you guyse?

thanks
