Hello,
I have some problems with my case: zalman z11 plus. it is overheating when gaming. it gets like 55C and my cpu is around 65-70C. But my question is: Do i need some aftermarket Coolers for my case? i still have the stock coolers. or is it a problem with my cpu? it is an AMD FX 8350 with the CM Hyper212 EVO maybe i need a New Top-Down blow design cooler for that?? on the site of my mobo it says that it would be better if there is a top-down blow design cooler, i'm a bit confused. I am pretty much worrying about the temps of my Case as the temps of my Cpu. I am really nervous about that temperatures, also my Mobo is getting really Hot (Asrock 990FX Extreme3).
It would be great if u can help me out :)
 
Solution
Get fans for all the slots and play around with it. Another idea that i have is to mount a fan at the bottom to push air in and not extract and mount an extract fan at the back and two that blow in at the top or one that blows in and one that extracts.
I have just one hard drive installed
This is the layout of my pc:

With the pick of the layout the fan at the back ia not of much worth as the top fan extracts the heat from your cpu cooler and that led fan is not really good. I will suggest that you replace the fan with something better maybe for now the fan mounted at the back and you can move the led fan over to the first slot at the top and make it to blow in and not extract. Mount another fan at the back that also blows in and mount a fan on the bottom next to the psu to extract. The airflow from front to back isnt really good on these cases but at least they improvised and gave other options to play arround with

Thank you, I'm going to try it out, but. Do you know some good budget case fans for my case? Btw I'm on a budget. Don't want to spend more than 50$ on Fans
