Also, from the diagram, are you drawing air out of the heatsink on your GPU? I always installed mine to suck air into the heatsink of the GPU

The stock fans on the gpu are sucking air into the card I believe.

Those look promising, but the xtreme plus II is $85+tax at ncix :O

If you had a side panel vent and another vent between the HDD cage and the PSU, you could use your 2x 120's in those places to bring out all the hot air thats being trapped inside the case right now.
Best solution w/o cutting into your case is probably get a 120mm exhausting air out of the remaining 6 PCI slot covers.
EDIT: also, leave your top rear 120mm exhausting, you dont want to bring in hot air that's coming out of your GPU below. Change the H100 fans to INTAKE, but use fan filters for that.

Yea the case was probably not the best choice, but i wanted something pretty plain looking. I hate those crazy looking cases and I have no need for windows etc, as the tower sits under the desk and I never really look at it.
I'll try switching the top two fans with the rad and get them to draw air in instead of exhausting.
Also I'll try to take the bottom inside 120mm and move it to the 6 PCI slot covers and exhaust from there.
Will report back later, thanks so far!
