With this heat I started looking at better fans for my PC and discovered it has a second PWM header on my mobo, as well as the CPU fan.

Where would be best to locate this? I can do rear fan or one of two front fans? I've never used them for anything other than the CPU before.

Cheers :)

Funnily enough I've just put new fans in my case. My cpu is PWM controlled, and the other I put in the rear as an exhaust fan. I then moved my original exhaust fan to the front (not PWM controlled - standard 3 pin). I'm not convinced this is the best as I've noticed the rear fan doesn't spin at all for quite long periods of time. Then it kicks in for a while. I'm not sure if I'd rather have the rear exhaust on constantly as it draws out the hot air.
