just tilt

Okay, thank you so much!

So, you are saying that I should keep one exhaust fan at the top, and one exhaust fan at the back, without adding any front intake fans?

I'm looking to replace all of my stock fans on my NZXT S340 case, as one of the bearings is starting to make some noise. I would like some help in getting the airflow right, as I don't have a lot of knowledge on the subject. I was wondering if I could use two CM MasterFan 120 Halos as intake fans? If so, which of the below could I use as exhaust fans, and how many/where could I place them? As far as I know, the NZXT S340 case has two 120/140mm case fan slots in the front, one 120mm at the top, and one 120mm at the back. As I'm living in a shithole country, I have access to limited case fan options. Case fans that I have the access to are: 1. Noctua NF-P12 redux 1700 2. Arctic P12 PWM 3. Arctic F14 PWM 4. Arctic F12 PWM 5. Noctua NF-P14 both S and R versions 6. Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 Halo

@S w a t s o n I don't know if this means anything to you but the artifacting doesn't start off when I start up the game. It takes 5, 10 minutes, sometimes even an hour for the game to start artifacting.

Black screen isn't a problem since playing windowed fixed the black screen part, the artifacting is bugging me.

I have never altered the clocks until now, when I dialed them down. I got it for my last birthday, a year ago, it was bought abroad in a computer parts shop.

I've been having problems with my GPU. It has been artifacting in Need for Speed Payback, as in flickering black, it had crashed and showed a DirectX Fullscreen error so I swapped to bordered and then my monitor had shut down. I checked the cables on the monitor, they were connected properly. I disconnected the DP from the GPU, plugged it in again. The monitor had turned on, said there was no input, went back to being off. Things I tried to solve the issue: -I updated the drivers to 19.1.1. -Switched to borderless and applied a "high" preset (people on the NFS forum say that might fix it), that fixed the black screen. -I tried downclocking the Memory clocl from 2000 to 1750 MHz, and the Core Clock from 1360 to 1000 MHz. None of these helped. *The GPU doesn't go above 73 degrees Celsius. *Need for Speed Payback is the only game that crashes *My CPU and my RAM aren't overclocked. EDIT: The game is up to date and I have tried reinstalling it, hasn't fixed the problem. My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cmMGTB What could be causing the problem? I'm in desperate need for help.

Depends on the motherboard as well as the CPU

Budget?

Google how to overclock GPU...

More $$$s.

What are you referring to when you say "4.2 or higher"?

Temps are fine.

I'm asking does the SSD have to be an m.2 or can it also be SATA?

m.2 only?
