How can I get better air flow in my case

install an exhaust fan in the back is the only way I can see without needing to mod the chassis 

I installed a fan in the back but it faced it inward to get more air into the case there is also a perforated section in the side panel

I would change the back fan to blow out, should work better to remove the hot air up top

I also noticed that when I plugged the fan into the 4 pin sys slot it did not go on does it go at specific temp or do I need to set it

I fear the answer, but what motherboard you have? Case, and mobo, look like OEM parts. That will be problematic for upgrades. With fans, it can mean that only certain types of fans are accepted by mobo.

 

You can go to BIOS and see what kind of options you have available.

 

As for air flow, the CPU cooler is blowing towards mobo. So if CPU cooling is something you want to improve, best option would be to mount fan to mesh above CPU intaking. Rear should be exhaust since CPU cooler is blowing hot air all around it.
