Yes, i did change all my fans around. had a rather detramental effect!
changed the air flow from back 120mm sucking in & 2 x 80mm blowing out of a front grill.
and 1 80mm side panel fan blowing in (unchanged)
after attaching the paper towell to the back i thought it would all work smoothly.
Not at all,eventually ran waaay too hot under load.
is now all back to normal with the 120mm sucking out and 2 front sucking in & no filters.
fitting filters to the front requires me taking the front panel off which i dont yet have the right tool for.

I have this HSF - http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-234-1.htm
gigabyte rocket cooler. it sucks air in through side fins, dont most HSF draw air away from CPU?
