They should be sucking.. not blowing. Feet getting cold implies the latter.

Thumbs up

the concept of air-flow inside the case is fan sucking air into the case from the bottom front, and fan blowing air out at the top back. the PSU will create a vortex, sucking air into the PSU from the bottom and blowing air out at the back.

think of creating an air-flow inside the case, not just blowing and sucking air in all directions.

You wouldnt need all those case fans if you remembered to put your heatsink & fan on the CPU (see picture above)

That bleedin thing must sound like concorde taking off when you switch it on! LOL

Si,
Sorry mate - I was confused by your explanation. I would say this though;
Move one of those intake fans on the front to exhaust at the top of the case. It would do considerably more than 2 on back and 4 in the front.

Oi, that's my case! The Fans are Papst, so are individually balanced and virtually silent. The flow is as Andi has illustrated so well 5 of these fans are a great deal quieter than just 1 normal 80MM sunon!

She still isn't complete as half of my next watercooling kit has not turned up yet

Cheers,

Nick

Nick,
Didn't realise that it was your case. That is one mother of a case... forget lighting the inside with LED's; try a kitchen strip light.
