I see it comes with 3 x 120mm fans already, you shouldn't need any more than that for an average to high system.

I must admit im a bit new to all this and ive got the Zalman z9 plus case and I think ive went OTT with fans.. ive got 2 on the side, 1 rear, 1 top and 2 front fans.

one of my front fans sits where the the lower dvd drives would sit.
my temp gauge on front sits around 25
at idle my temps are
cpu around 15c ( fx 6350 )
gpu 33c ( msi 7950 O/C boost edition
mother board 27c ( Gigabyte. GA-970A-DS3 )
my hard drives are 25c , 29c

room temp?

There's no way the CPU is 15c, it cannot be colder than ambient.

no idea of room temp and not sure how reliable speccy is but there you go.

i think its to do with amd chips not being very accurate at low temps.

yea could be.. but at least that gives me an idea its not running hot on idile..
when im doing general stuff it tends to sit around the 30c mark

whats the safe load temp for an fx 6350? mines tends not to go over 65c
