need a bit of help with my cooling setup. this is my board:
13-151-049-04.jpg


i'm running 5320's @ 2.33ghz. currently i have a pair of thermalright ultra 90's on them. i the fans are oriented as following:
X indicates a fan, [] indicates an ultra90, >> is the direction of airflow.

Front of case
>>X[] []X<<
Rear of case

my temps are a bit high under load, about 70c (using the burn test since i can't get orthos to load 8 cores). although the one that hits 70c is the right most one (or bottom most in my case) since its airflow is being blocked by my video card. i was hoping to get more out of almost $90 worth of cooling ($35 a pop for the coolers and $20 on the 771 adapter / fans).

originally i tried just doing:

Front of case
<<[] X []<<
Rear of case

with a single fan, but the temps were around 70c for the top / left most one since it was receiving hot air. any suggestions much appreciated.
 
Ideally you want air flowing from front of the case to back. Since your heatsinks wont let you orient that way I'd do this:

<<X[] []X>>
and give that a shot.
 
Try orienting the fans like this if possible: <<[]X []X<<

That would probably give you the best results.
