    Posted: 02 May 2012 at 12:33pm
I have my ODE3 now for 8 months, Running great. StrongI am noticing my temps are starting to get high on some games, ( 75 to 80 c ) With the weather getting hotter I think I want to play it safe and add some side fans to help with cooling. Looking for some advice on what to get and how to wire them up. I think two will do, I have the mesh already on the side cover. Any help would be great.

Before you add any fans, make sure you blow out any accumulated dust with an air can.  Then check the temps again to see if it made any difference.  If not, add away!

Hi pos.....get the Nexus  Real Silent 120mm Basic Series D12SL-12 fans.  Amazon has them.  They come with 3 pin/ 4 pin pass through connector.  Just connect male 4 pin from one fan to female 4 pin other fan.      The 4 pin male left over plugs into a 4 pin peripheral cable from psu from behind right cover.  Just run the psu cable along bottom to left side panel and your good to go. 
 
Try blowing the case out of dust, especially the air cooler fins.

Hey Guys, Thanks for the quick replie's. Blew out the case, It did lower the temps some. One gpu lower by -4c and the other by - 6c. It looks like I will have to remove the CPU rad so I can do a better job blowing them out. Again thanks alot.

When I blow out my computer I like to have a vacuum hose held close to the area I am blowing. If you just blow the stuff will settle on other parts of the computer. The vacuum hose sucks up the dust and debris. Be careful not to touch anything with the end of the vacuum hose, especially any electronics.
