I have a Gigabyte 3D Aurora case, and to be honest I quite like it. Tons of room, easy to build in, but there is one problem.. cooling.

The case has 1x 12cm fan at the front, and 2x 12cm fans at the rear.

The issue I am having is that there is not enough air going into the case, even with the front dustfilter removed.

With the side panel off, CPU is happy at 28c/30c just messing about in Windows. I put the side on and it's 40/42c. These temps are fine obviously, but this is with the CPU at stock and with a Freezer7 Cooler.

Anyone with this case, or anyone have any ideas on improving the airflow?
 
Is this the one with the mesh cut out in the side panel?

You could try mounting a 120mm fan behind the mesh, above the cpu using rubber screw mounts?
 
Its the clear side window one.

I just bought a Scythe Kama-Bay, so I can have an extra 12cm fan instead of 3 empty drive bays. Should do the job :)
