Hi Everyone,

I recently upgraded my CPU Cooling solution from a Zalman CNPS9900 to a Corsair H80, and my GPU temps have risen significantly (MSI 560TI Twin Frozr). Can anyone with experience offer me some advice on how to fix this?

Here is my current fan setup in the case:

Top: Exaust (Antec 120mm TriCool Fan)
Rear: H80 (Setup as Intake per the instructions) 2x 120mm
Lower Chamber is PSU Setup as Intake.

There is room to add two fans to the front of the case as well.

What should I do fan wise or mounting wise to imporove my GPU temp without compromising the H80 Cooling fans cooling my Radiator. Previsouly,the CNPS9900 setup to exaust as well.
 
Ok, so you went from having the zalman pushing air out to an exhaust, probably another 120mm tri-cool, to an intake , probably push/pull on the H80, which, with the twin frozr ii, you now have all your main heat generators dumping hot air into the case, and little exhaust. You need more exhaust flow, probably lots. I would suggest reversing the flow on the H80, it's an easy test. Adding exhaust fans to the front, hmm, probably not effective. If you are adamant about keeping the H80 on intake, the way to go would probably be some exhaust fans on your side panel, maybe one between the H80 and the memory, and one on the GPU.
