Zalman z11 airflow questions

[sennn]

Hi

Looking for help with my setup in terms of airflow, as some of my components seems to be rather hot. Room temp: 24C, cpu (i7 2600k @ 4 ghz, stock voltage) idle: 48c, vga (asus gtx980 strix) idle: 60c.
My current fan setup is the stock z11 plus fans (1 front intake 120mm, 2 side exhausts next to the hdds, 1 top and 1 back exhaust 120mm) and one added 120 mm floor intake which I just installed yesterday.
I do have 5 hdds installed which kinda block the front intake fan, that's why I installed the bottom one, but i didn't help much, my cable management isn't the best either, but seemingly that's all I can do cause of my non modular PSU.

Any tips in how to improve my case's airflow? Should I try a 140 mm floor intake fan instead of a 120mm?

Move bottom and Top case fan to the front for Intake (or just the top fan in front for intake), you need to have more intake fans than exhaust for postive pressure. Case wont get colder if you dont have intake of cold air.

The reason why you have dust on PSU, case fan, HDD. is because you have negative pressure in your case

Have seen it already ty, the problem is that there is only place for one fan in the front. So I can't do that without making a makeshift mount for it at the 5.25 drives.

Ok then, open side panel and change those little fans to intake and move your top fan to top mount closer to the the front (your pictzre just a slot right) and make it Intake. And then check if temps improve

Also high temp may mre result of a dust , so clean your PC

Also try to improve cable management the bootom fan is completly blocked by cables, there are alot of videos on youtube on how to do cable management you could also watch how to build a pc videos because in most of them they also talk about cable management
