Prodigy Cooling

[MichaelAwkward]

Hi, I have the following system in a BitFenix Prodigy:

Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4GHz
Corsair H60 V2
8GB DDR3 2133MHz
MSI GTX 670 OC

At the moment I only have the fan that came with the Corsair H60 V2 as exhaust (case-fan-rad). I was looking to buy some extra fans to help with the cooling? Idle temps are around 40C

Are these fans better than the Corsair supplied one? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-026-ZW&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=4 Would it be good to have two in push pull?

If I did that would I need these screws to attach the fan to the other side? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-224-XS&groupid=962&catid=1523&subcat=1545

And one of these as intake at the front? Or just another two of the Golf fans?

The golf ball fans are no better then the original. If you want to match or gain better performance, the Corsair SP 120s are the same but with a lower rpm and colour. The Akasa Piranhas,currently on offer, would be a good option too.

Yes, push pull would be better. Those screws will be fine and the 230mm fan would be fine also. The golf balls can get noisy, but they're effective.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I've been testing the H60 with stock fan in various positions, for some reason I've had it as exhaust (pull) all this time, switched it to intake (push) and moved it to the front of the case and my temperatures are a lot better.

Now though all the hot air from the radiator is going into the case with nothing to pull it out, so I think I'm gonna get one of these for the rear of the case: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-023-AL
