currently I have one exhaust on the back and a intank on the side of my case a 120mm intake on the bottom of my psu and a 80 mm intake on the side inside my base and a exhaust on the fan in the back of my psu. I also has a fan on my graphics card and my cpu and one of the chipset (all stock) on my motherboard... Would it do any good at all to add another exhaust to the back of my case or to add a fan inside of it at all? Atm when i turn the ac up all the way in my dorm room it the lcd that reads inside of temp of the case says 80 degrees F but when i turn the ac all the way off it reads 90 degree F and when the ac went out in the building last week it read 100 degree's F..... anything I can do that will lower the temp besides watercooling?
 
well, yes, adding more fans will decrease ur temps, to a point...ur not gonna see like 60*F by adding 2 fans, but u might go down to like 78-ish w/ ur AC on....and, since fans are like 5 bucks, you can get a few for a low price....

i would get another exhaust, they do much better exhaust than intake.
 
I ran out of room for fans, and I needed an ex. fan. So I bolted two ( piggyback style )
and it made my temps go down 10 f , looks funny though. :D
 
wow, dude, 10* is pretty good! for just 2 fans...shows how good fans are :p
 
heh another thing i'm worried about is my enermax case from newegg came with two interior blue fans that glow and have leds in them but i don't want to buy one for another exhaust and it not be the same color blue or a dimmer or lighter version of fan.

i thought piggybacking was ineffective and only pushes as much air as one fan? i'm confused.
 
Hell no, I had too much air coming in . It just sat in my case . I had the psu fan and 1 exaust fan , So I needed to get the damn hot air out. Piggybacking dosent work well if both blades are spinning the same way . so I did some wiring mods on one fan , made it spin the other way and flipped it around then bolted them together, so they both blow air the same way, but the blades spin in different directions. I have seen russian helicopters and other propeller driven aircraft do the same thing with great effect. It blows like a son-of-a-bitch
but loud as hell. :D I even suprised myself, I didnt think it would work well . but its sweet!
