Default too much heat

I have a Chieftec dragon silver midi case. As CPU a AMD 2000+ (palomino). Mobo is a leadtek nforceČ
I think i have a problem with my cooling. I have 3 casefans (2 enermax, 1 NMB-very old-). My CPU fan is a PAPST with a Zalman CNPS6000-CU

For all of you who knows how a chieftec midi case is build, i will you give the exact place of the casefans

* 1 enermax @ the back (the lowest of the two holes) --> outtake
* 1 enermax @ front below --> intake
* NMB fan (strictly for giving a little cooling on my HDD)@ front in the HHD BAY --> intake

Normally a fan moest blow on the zalman cooler, but if the fan sucks, i've noticed that the cpu is less warm.

now the temps are case: 39 en CPU: 54. That's too hot, even for a palomino. The PAPST is @ 12v the rest@ minimum voltage of the rheobus (i think that's 5)
Does anyone know what i must do?
Soon i will have 2 panaflo fans, maybe that's better.
I have also a 90 mm Zalman fan here. Should i replace the papst fan with it.

What are the specs of the fans, how much CFM do they have ?

Your HS is not made for performance, it's made for silent operation ... get another one.

When using 'strong' casefans (not 20 CFM fans) i suggest sucking in stead of blowing. Warm air gets "pulled" directly from the HS through the back-exhaust. Otherwise you get interference from the intake/outtake with the flow from the 'blowing' cpu fan ...

I have about 80CFM going through one case. Switching from blowing to sucking gave me an extra drop in temps of 4-5°C loaded ... although the manufacturer suggests blowing.

i will give you the specs in a moment. I know the zalman cooler is for silent things, but i think a cpu temp of 50° or less is possible, espacially because it's not so warm in here

PAPST 4412 FGML: 120 mm - 67.1 CFM - 1950 RPM
ENERMAX (i bought it @ Tones, I think Enermax UC8 FAB) 39.8 CFM - 1000/3000 PM
Titan TFD-8025M12C: 80 mm - 32.4 CFM - 2500 RPM

you'd indeed better use the (included) 92MM fan for the zalman.

It moves more air then the papst, and is more quiet.

ok installed the zalman again. Did the intake on HDD's away.

so now i have 1 enermax intake, 1 outtake and zalman blows on cpu.

temp (with case open) 54° CPU and case 43°

if i make a blowhole (top) with the papst, wil that be good?

you should have more outtake then intake fans, so making a top blowhole would be good
