I recently bought the CM 120 Jetflo's to replace my 2 stock intake fans for my case and I was wondering if anyone else has these and if they actually made any different in temps.

I left them at 2000rpm and switched them to 1200rpm and I honestly do not see any difference in temps for both cpu and gpu. Only 1 of the fans is obstructed with HDD and SSD, the other has no obstruction at all. Are these fans just bad or is the airflow in my system very poor.

My temperatures for CPU are around 40-50 at normal usuage and my gpu is at 44-46 with a video running.

I have 3 intake (2front, 1side) and 3 exhaust (2top, 1rear) and my CPU heatsink is the silverarrow.

Your airflow is pretty much perfectly efficient with that fan-setup anyway. Sometimes more air does not help anymore, it's just the fact that the heat sinks are too small. Even if you'd blow on them with a leafblower, they can't dissipate heat any more effectively.

Your temps are fine though, do not worry about it :) And no, there are no bigger heat sinks available than what you have now.
