I have an antec true430, and i noticed that the rear fan is only running about 900 rpm, and the rest of the hot air is blown out the bottom onto the cpu heatsink, which i dont helps.

how easy is it to replace the rear fan? right now its powered by the motherboard (im pretty sure, i have a cample marked "power fan" plugged in), any tidbits of advice?
 
Are you sure the hot air is being blown the direction? I don't think the bottom fan blows out, IIRC it sucks in. You might want to see if the fan is going the correct direction
 
I'd have to agree with the above post. That fan should be sucking air in, not blowing it out.

as mentioned above the bottom fan exhausts the air from the heatsink
and the plug to the mobo should be for you to monitor the fan speed
