Hello everyone

CPU: i5 4690k oc to 4.4ghz
Case: S340 https://www.nzxt.com/products/s340-white
CPU cooler: Hyper 212 evo

My PC case has 2 fans, the top and rear exhaust. I have no front intake fans. My CPU fan is currently facing the rear exhaust because i can't place it on the other side of the heatsink or turn the heatsink around because of my ram. After about 20 minutes of gaming CPU can reach temperatures up to 70 degrees Celsius while playing games like Battlefield 1.

I just need some advice. Should I keep it as they are and just get some intake fans for the front? Or should I move that rear fan and move it to the front for intake. I'm just wondering because one is sucking air in and the other out and they are facing each other.

I'm completely clueless. I would appreciate any help. Thanks
 
I got this pc built for me about 4 years ago at a shop. I recently started changing bits and bobs, and I didn't look ahead for these kinds of problems.

I'll definitely get 2 intakes for the front. Should I just remove the rear exhaust entirely then? So 2 front intake fans and 1 exhaust at the top?

Looks like you have about an inch of wiggle room (marked with green line in pic below) to unclasp the cooler's fan, change it to the front, and clasp it again on the very edge of the cooler heatsink. As long as it doesn't clash with the side panel. Might sit on top of the RAM nicely then.

Is it ok if the fan doesn't cover the entire heatsink thingy?
