yea i have 2 80 mm fans 1 to blow over the processor and 1 to suck out heat behind the HDD...it doesn't get that hot at all ran it all night in the case and it was barely even warm to the touch...but i guess that is why the mobo only uses 13 watts

 

and i will only have the dvd drive hooked up when i need it to save spave and power on the power supply
