Built my PC, but I have a few minor problems?

jimmy jones is right. just invert (flip the fan the other direction) on the side fan. tip: screw the fan so that it's pointing at the cpu (the point of the side fan is to blow cold air at the cpu heat sink fan). Your cpu temp is perfectly fine. It can go up to 70 on extreme load and you'll still be ok. Case cooling is important but is over-rated. To be honest, if you core temps never get to 60, I'd take the side fan off if it's noisy. The back fan is taking hot air out and any holes/vents on the case will take air in which is usually sufficient cooling. Extra cooling is only necessary if you want to do extreme overclocking. As for not being able to control your fans, you'll have to refer to your manuals and make sure that everything is plugged into the correct slots. As for your audio jacks, make sure you check your connectors to your motherboard/case. I would help more, but you should be able to figure it out with trial and error. Congrats on your first build, and good luck.
