The fans are blowing upwards. The fans are turned around to make sure the air goes through the top of the case with the case fans.

This case has good cable management capabilities with space at the back of the case. Lots of space for a couple of graphics cards and hard drives and not many case can have a cooler that big fit inside.

The build looks good and the spec of the PC is even better.

Nice Build
 
the PSU Hx850 was faulty when the fan kicked in it started hitting the mesh. getting the fan to even start was very hard lot of benchmarks however OCUK are replacing it, However i put in my HX1000 :D

whilst i did it i also changed all the fans as tricool were to loud, NOw have fractal design fans inside
 
How in hell are his temperatures that low? Especially with no intake fans bringing in fresh air, instead pulling warm air from all the components?

fairly easy to explain, think of a house fireplace

1. Hot air rises so the top 2 fans spinning at 1000rpm just help pull the hot air out.

2nd. the CPU fan is blow towards the top of the case blowing right out the top & removed the back fan so no turbulence.

3rd even though there is no intake More fans blowing out creates a vacum type affect which actually pulls in cold air though the front of the case

4th the GPU (hot part of any case) pulling air in & then exhausts it out the back :)

5th air at the bottom of case is pulled in through the psu & out the back

just over an hour of BF3

As above, bios based readings are usually nonsense. Use either of those programs for cpu and use gpu-z/Afterburner for card temps.

Btw, your card exhausts the majority of it's hot air into the case, not the rear and since your cpu is at stock, it won't be getting that hot anyway :) Gaming won't trouble it.

Either way, whatever the actual temps are, your cooler can handle it. Nice build.
 
I think you really need to run Prime, Ive got the same case and came cooler but im running a 3570k.

Running Sleeping dogs I get slightly higher temps but ive got my 3570k running at 4.5ghz but I also noticed that the CPU load never went over 50% while running that benchmark so its hardly pushing the CPU.

Run Prime for 30 mins and let us know what temps your getting then please.

Also the fans in the case, I could hardly hear them when on the low setting but my P280 came with Antec twocool fans but you say yours came with tricool fans ?

The TriCool 120mm fan speeds are ~2000 RPM at the highest setting, ~1600 for middle and ~1200 on the low end. TwoCool 120mm spins at ~1500RPM on the high setting and ~900 on low

Ive also put 2 Spectre Pro fans in the front and connected all 5 case fans to a Betfenix Recon fan controller, one other thing, did you use the PWM adapter with the CPU cooler ?
