Hi Cooli

The fans in the back of your case should be exhausting. The fan in the lower front should be the air intake. According to your diagram that's what they are doing.

Fan #5, if that is over the processor, should be blowing in.

I agree with Tom C., fan #5 should be blowing into the case...all you have to do is unbolt it, flip it over & reinstall.

I'm confused about fan #4 though...you show the airflow going up at the hard drive...is that correct? I would think that fan #4 would bring air straight into the case. How are you accomplishing this 90 degree turn?

Fan over CPU needs to blow down on the heatsink. And you need one in the bottom sucking in it looks like the harddrive fan is where the intake should go. I guess you could cut a hole in side of case at bottom front and blow in. 60C is not that hot anyway

I disagree 60c is too hot! I keep my 2100+ and my 1800+ at about 47c at the hottest with only 3 case fans and a 5400rpm cpu fan... im thinkin your cpu fan doesnt have enough thermal goop stuff on it or its uneven which can create hot spots.
