I would install a piece of glass below your lights and that should cut your temps down enough. you can pick up a peice of glass at your local home improvement store and measure you box first and they can normally cut it for you to size. but mainly you want the glass to be right below the lights and if possible have a small intake next to the lights so the box can draw some air across the lights. Kinda like a cool tube

It also looks like you have an adapter (for fans?) on your power bar. Those can contribute some heat as well, you could consider moving it outside of the case.

Maybe you should try the 2x30cfm fans as outtake instead of in take fans and going with a passive air flow system. I have never done a pc grow myself, but I have done A LOT of reading on it and it seems that this is the way that 90+% of the pc growers are doing it...

Totally agree, the glass cut ur temp down, help me a lot, try to install a fan blowing to the lights. my pc has the same wide and i use 2 80mm noctua fans(fits perfect) blowing to the lights and 2 for exh. plus 2 90 mm for intake and 1 pasive hole. the pic should explain better than my english. Good Luck and happy growing.

If your temps are the same with the door open then you probably just have your thermometer in a dead air space. Install a fan inside the case to circulate air.

My first pc case stayed at 85º (10º above ambient), but with 2 fans inside moving the air I never had a problem.

2x30cfm intake 1x45cfm exhaust?

2x30cfm intake 1x45cfm exhaust?

If im not mistaking you have more intake than exhaust, so try first to remove the intakes and see if situation gets better (remember you need for passive intake a hole 2 or even 3 times the exhaust). If thats not an option just stop 1 of the intake fans and remove it, and if it doesnt work go for the heat shield.
