Hot hot hot!

Went on a mad BFBC2 session last night (not the first time lol) and got my first BSOD in at least 5 months. The heating was on and my room was pretty toasty, so when I ran Linx I was seeing temps of 81C which made me think I ought to clean out my case. Having pulled what resembled a small Furby off my HSF I was still getting higher temps than I recalled getting when I OC'd originally, when I noticed my case temp was around 32C which seemed hot even considering my room being warm. ATM I have one rear exhaust 12cm one front 12cm intake and 2 12cm side intakes with dust filters (which I regularly clean). Should I reverse the side fans to exhaust this hot air from my gpu? The main reason I had them as intake was to create +ve pressure to keep dust out, but are they negatively affecting my airflow? Case is a NZXT Beta classic, spec in sig. Any advice would be much appreciated Cheers!

You could try having the lower side fan as intake (over the card) and the top side one as outake.

Doubt it would make much difference as the cooling arrangement on the case looks fine as it is.

As it stands you've got 3x120mm as intake, and 2 ( if you include the PSU fan ) as exhausts, that sholud be more than eniough.

What fans are they, could try beefing them up ?

2 gentle typhoons intaking on the side, one xilence exhausting, and some standard rubbish intaking at the front. I may just have to crawl around for an hour or so doing some cable management
