heres my case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133154

so i was cleaning my fans today and came up with an idea.

i moved my top 90mm fan to the bottom of the case and tilted horozontally so it was blowing on my 8800GTS gfx card.

it usually idels from 55-58C and now its ideling at 50C.

my question is do u think i should leave the fan here or put it back?
is it going to mess up my case airflow?

after

i think it may have raised my cpu temps so im going to go do some tests.
 
good move, but I would just suggest getting another fan for the top, they're cheap!
 
yah im going to do that because it seems my cpu temp actually rose 5C.
im going to go up to compusa tomarrow and get one.

the red and gray lines never use to pass 45C
but my gpu load temps lowered ALOT.

do u think the reason my cpu temps went up was beacuse of the missin top fan?

Most defiantly. You are effectively messing up your airflow by moving that fan there. Replacing the fan on the top with a new fan and leaving the one down low to blow on your GTX may even not give you the same performance as before.

Remember this, its not important how much the air is moving its how fast the hot air can get out of the case and away from the components. More fans does not always mean better airflow. This is due to the fact that you can actually create areas in which air never really goes anywhere but just spins around keeping heat in your case.
 
so do u guys think i should get a new fan and put it under the gfx card or not?

im planning on going to comp usa tomarrow and getting one.
 
May I kindly suggest literacy school? Apparently, you're not familiar with the punctuation markings and grammar used in the English language. Civilised people use them as a means of effective communication.

As for what I think your main question asks, it's hard to tell, really. Perhaps buy an additional fan to mount on the top vent of the case, to exhaust hot air out.
 
even with the fan moved back to the top my processor is still a lil hotter.

It's still ok. I'd keep it there.
 
i think i may reseat my hs and check for dust.
i used canned air on it and got som dust out.
 
um i think my room temps may have been 1-2 degrees higher, i remember checking my room temps and they were higher then usual.

but the weird thing is my gfx, even after the top fan was moved back, was still a few degrees cooler.

and for my cpu only the red and gray bars, core0 and core1, are a few degrees hotter. but the green, cpu, is still the same as always.
