Ok... I added an 80mm panaflo L1A as an intake at the rear of my case. That gives me a grand total of ONE intake fans in my case. EXHAUST: the psu exhaust, and the 172mm comair fan pulling air out the rad.
Adding this one 80mm fan lowered my idle CPU temps from 34C to 32C. (that is, with all fans running at max speed. the 172mm running at 12v, rated at 24v, so half speed, but max for my power supply).

I intend to put a 120mm intake over the vid card, and I may switch the 172mm to 2 120mms. The comair still makes more noise than I'd like running at about 9v. I suspect the addition of the 120 intake will lower my temps dramatically.
