Re: gigabyte ga-ma69-s3h problems
Try running checkdisk on your drive, there could be a filesystem error that is messing with programs etc.
You could also try asking the manufacturer of the hard drive for a diagnostic program for the drive, if they give you one and it finds errors, then you should talk to them about getting it replaced.
Leaving the 80mm side fan as an intake for fresh air for the CPU is the best idea, as you are right in thinking that the two fans will be fighting each other blowing in opposite directions so close together.
Does the software/instructions explain what the warnings are for? Is it too low fan speed or something else? Does the 'erroring' fan still spin ok (have a look in the case)?

PS. Try using paragraphs, it makes it so much easier to read and understand what you are saying
