    It's not making noises anymore but it seems to get pretty hot. seems as i still only have one fan and it's on the processor, anything i should get? case fan etc? there's some wind blowing ot through the back i'm guessing it's the exhaust fan?

    Fan at back is most likely the PSU fan, yes rule of thumb is to if your case allows to have a fan at front bottom and another at the back in a space generally just below the PSU....

    Front fan direction to draw air into the pc and the rear fan to expell air out back, these directions of airflow aid in keeping your pc cooler, other factors to look at are how tidy are your cables inside the case if they are a mess then they will create trapped air pockets which in turn cause heat.....

    Fans are cheap, $5 to $15 bucks, that guy should have installed one for free.
