   So I put a regular fan on the side of my PC, I removed the lateral panel and just put it in there... Temps went down like 10 degrees... I believe it can go lower but I dont know jack about fluid movement and stuff... NO, I am afraid of water cooling, i live in mexicali and humidity is way too high and heat is higher,.. Later ill put a pic...

CPU 65 and GPU 72... with the fan...

I'm not really sure what high humidity has to do with playing into your fear of water cooling. It doesn't really impact water cooled systems... It's not like they get lower than ambient temps.

 

Either way, uhhh congrats for finding out more airflow = better thermal performance?

This one, right?

Move the front fans to the other side of the rails (fan hub facing towards the front of the case still) so they can actually pull air in from the side vents the case has. That should help reduce temps.

fan config is 3 intake, CPU fan and one out... (removed lateral panel and put a regular mini house fan...)
it is an A& Eagle Warrior.. 

Are you referring to the A6? There are several different cases from the Eagle Warrior Blade series. 

The solid front panel is probably obstructing most of the airflow so there isn't much intake. Are you able to remove the front panel?

Ok... What if I buy an AIO and put the radiator on cold water (thats why I am afraid of humidity)?... or should I take the 3 fans in the front out, put the purple one front and put the side cover with no outtakes.. I was thinking about use PVC tubes to send the air thru the heatsink fins of the CPU cooler, and do that aslo with the GPU... :/

There it is... Cheap and not working...

What do you mean by not working? Your temps are fine.

I want to lower them!... there should be a way... maybe if I do the pvc pipes thing to push the air trhu the fins over one side instead of pushing the air trhu the fan...

For what reason? There's no practical benefit for excessively low temps.
