Default Need some ideas.

I just installed my new ThermalRight heatsink. I got a SI-128. Long story, order for another was placed, out of stock blah blah, I got this one: Thermalright SI-128 for AMD? Athlon?64, FX / X2 and Opteron? or Intel Socket 775

Now my Idle temps and load temps are under 60C! My poor quad core was reaching around 70C, so I had to do something.

Well, here is the problem. I have one 120mm intake, one 80mm side vent intake, one 120mm exhaust that is practicaly touching the heatsink. I would think some conflict would arise there in the airflow area...

I am going to get 2 new 120mm fans, Tek-Chain_120mm_Quiet_Fan, my fan barely moves air. How can I make the airflow better? I am thinking a partial duct so my exhaust fan pulls air from under the heatsink.

The case is a TT Soprano. Dang cases look huge untill you start farfing around in them!
