so i bought a new Huge cooler. it does fit in my pc, but it is in front of the fan that pulls hot air out of the pc. when the sidedoor is closed the fx-8320 gets to 65C when gaming. when i push off the sidedoor it is a normal 50. How can i fix the airflow without removing the cooler? my case is the coolermaster k280.

thanks for your help

Make sure that the fan configuration is pulling air in a single direction rather than pulling it out at every angle. I'd set up the fan on the cooler so that it pushes air from the side nearest the front out the back and having a fan pulling from the rear of the case. It should work something like this.

Of course, that is entirely subjective and everyone disagrees on the exact setup. Two good videos to consult are this one and this one.
