Lee,
Yes, it is a Desktop with stock fan in front blowing in over the hard
drives and on up top blowing out. About the 12" fan, I tried to lower
the temp by removing the side cover and taking my table top fan and
pointing it at the inside of the case blowing over the motherboard and
CPU but that only kept it from peeking above 87 keeping it down around
83. The case does have optional mesh cutouts for adding fans 2 more on
the side cover that would blow right on the MB (just like mt 12"er and
one more location on the rear. So I ask myself do I spend $30 on 3 more
fans and connectors and $50 plus on a pipe style CPU heatsink or just
spend $79 bucks on a cooler. I read over on the gamer sites some say
the pipes didn't help all that much but every water cooler did the job.
If I was only going to do 1 or 2 minute clips for you tube I might not
worry so much but running at 85C for 1 or more hours at a time I'm a
little worried about that.
