my temps are going really high; 90+ @ load :-( . However If I remove the side panel , the max drops to 78C . This suggests that a case fan would really help my temps.
But I am paranoid about extra sound coming from my PC. any suggestion for cheap cheap silent 80mm/90mm case fan ?Also how loud are generic case fans ?

Thanks

78C if processor temp is still high adding a cheap 80mm case fan won't make much of a difference rather install a Coolermaster Hyper TX3 1.2K

BTW use Real temp to monitor ur temps
