Hello I have a, BitFenix Phenom Micro ATX Case and I was wondering if I need more fans because when I'm playing a recent game like Dark souls 3 my normal temperatures are:

CPU I5 6500: 41-42c

GPU  R9 Nano: 75c

 

Attention: Without one of the side panel.

Like the picture.

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

But with the side panel the normal temperatures are:

CPU I5 6500: 52-55c

GPU  R9 Nano: 75c

------------------------------

 

 

What should I do?

I purchased a CPU Fan CoolerMaster 212 EVO on amazon but it's not yet shipped.

 

There's no Case fans on the top side.

 

And sorry for my english. Thankyou

Your temps aren't too bad but do you have a front intake fan?

This case does not support a front fan.

Both temps are fine. Your CPU can go up to 75C without any need to upgrade CPU cooler. GPU can go to 80-85C without you needing to change anything.
