i'm trying to make my computer cooler

the power supply i have is the thermaltake silent purepower 480
the case i have is the coolermaster atc-210, which only has an 80mm blowhole and 80mm rear exhaust

which of these is more crucial in having my computer cooler, ie which should i replace

TIA

That's kind of funny. C'mon man! This is a modding forum! You can always "make" them cool better:D

That power supply is silent(fan pushes more air when it gets warmer), so I woulden't expect it to cool much of anything else. Which is great for noise purposes. But you should make some room for some more fans if you need it.... seriously. The only reason you should buy a new case is if your sick of it, broke it beyond repair, ect... Just do some searching on fans, and see which ones would suit you, and you could even replace the fan/fans in your power supply to run full all the time, ect... there are so many things you could do that it's hard to think of all of them...later:)
