True temp?

Its going to sound like a 747 taking off (O;
I use a program that allows you to slow down the fans until things start to heat up. I have a 50cfm blowhole exhast fan that runs at 10% until needed. This keeps thing quiet most of the time.
 
I am not wanting to go watercooling

I have a DigitalDoc5 installed. :D I want to be able to keep my system cool enough (around high 30s to low 40s C) without adding more blowholes. Right now the case is fitted for 4 80mm fans. 1 in rear, 1 in top and 2 in front.

I figured that if I made the rear to be fitted for a 120mm (98.6 CFM @ 2500 RPM/43.3 dBA) that should provide enough pull for the exhaust. If not, I could also place a quiet 60mm (13.2 CFM @ 2500 RPM/16.10 dBA) in the top. Then if I use 2 80mm (each will pull 50.0 CFM @ 3900 RPM/40.6dBA), that should be good enough to pull the air into the case, pass 3 hard drives and still have enough cool air to provide for the cpu and video card. Then for the cpu I was thinking of using an 80mm (84.1 CFM @ 5700 RPM/55.2 dBA) or 120mm fan (72.0CFM @ 1800 RPM/34.40 dBA) w/ 120mm to 80mm fan adaptor. Since all fans have 3 wires (red, black, and yellow) they support RPM monitoring and more than likely RPM controlling via the DigitaDoc5. Do you think this will work and the intake/exhaust ratio will be equal?

lol probably, but I think I found a way to dampen the sound without retaining the heat inside the case. Won't know how well it will work until I try it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
