what are some good ways to exhaust heat from the case? i am using an nzxt alpha if anyone is familiar with it and i have plenty of intakes but only one exhaust. heres a good look at the case http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NZXT/Alpha/4.html and the attached image is a picture of a case(not mine) with parts inside it. the red squares are fans i currently already have in there. i have 2 intakes, a fan in the hdd bay and one exhaust. the green is fans i will most likely be adding soon which will be another intake in the bottom 3 5.25 bays and a fan at the end of the 5.25 bays. in the blue is a top exhaust which i don't have but i might cut holes for if it seems like a good idea. but im not sure as my psu is longer than the one in the picture and the fan will only be over my ram slots.
my question is if there is anything else i can do to exhaust the heat or get better case airflow/temperatures. room temperature is currently 25-26C and the case temperature is 32C. i have thought of maybe adding a pci slot cooler to suck some air out the back but im not sure if it will be worth it or work well. also adding those fans in green will improve cpu and motherboard temperature but im not sure about case temperature.
any suggestions?
