If you don't mind some noise, try look for fans at 2000rpm+ range. The stock fan is really slow and silent, 1200rpm if I remember correctly.

I might get a second fan for it, where would you recommend me to put the fans? My case at the moment:

All fans are blowing to the left.

Not much clearance to add a second fan at the rear of your Scythe heatsink. I think it would be best to swap the exhaust fan with something that blows more air, seeing as CM fans aren't that performant

I was going to reply to this last night but got tied up. I agree with Zenphic a stronger rear case fan is about all you can do with that case. This will give you the push/pull effect Max was talking about ... somewhat ...

In my configuration the fans on the CPU vent directly out of the top of the case because my PSU is bottom mounted. An ingoing top fan in addition to the outgoing rear fan provide good airflow through the cooler.

Alright, thanks for the help. I guess i'll get like a 2000RPM fan to replace the rear fan with then.
