Hi all, i have 5 sata disks in my bays, and during the summer they're starting to get a bit toasty, and obviously the general system temp is rising as a result.

As you can see, i have an intake fan at the rear, though i'm not sure how much good this is doing as its airflow must be restricted by my heat sink. And i also have a fan at the front (in front of the disks) sucking air out of the case.
Do i need to do something with another fan? I tried blowing a 120 low speed fan over the ram (because i wanted to clock the ram higher) but this only served to make the system even warmer. Any thoughts?
temps drop quite a bit when case side is off (cpu down from 37 to 30 idle, sytem down from 47 to 39ish)
