I just finished a build in this case and it feels like an oven because of the lack of airflow. The case has:

  1. 1 120mm rear
  2. 2 120mm internal (so pretty much useless)
  3. 2 120mm bottom (only 1 usable because powersupply covers 1)
  4. Impermeable front (no vents) so the bracket at the front blows nowhere. 

So essentially, there is 1 120mm in-taking and 1 120mm exhausting. The problem is that I have a radiator mounted on the internal 120mm x 2 bracket and it's blowing hot air at my gpu which makes it quite hot (45-50 idle).

 

Current config (I'll deal with cables later... I promise):

Potentially better config?

Not really sure what do to since the cooling options on this case are pretty limited so any insights would be appreciated!

The current config is fine. Also regarding your GPU, make sure it's not stopping the fan on idle. Mine will not run the fan on idle and so it hangs around 50C. Even if the radiator was blowing enough hot air to raise the GPU temperature, that would mean your CPU is sitting on at least 50C.
