Your best bet is to mod the case; cutting 120mm holes into the front of the case (or a 120mm x 240mm rectangle) to improve airflow. It's been done numerous time on similar cases like the S340 (example below)

I have a phanteks p300, I want to see if I can improve the airflow/temps on my case without buying stuff ( I know it would improve if I change all the fans for noctuas and get 140s instead of the 120mm fans that I have).

I have a corsair h60 for the processor with the radiator mounted on the front as an intake with two fans as a push pull, below the radiator I have another 120mm fan as an intake blowing air directly to my gpu(rx 580) and finally I have the top and left 120mm fans as exhausts. The intakes of the case are the issue I think they are too small or restricted, when I run it without the front cover I get considerably lower temps but im tired of using the case like that.

This is a picture of the case just to save you time of looking it up, I appreciate the help!

I thought that the back exhaust being that close to the top intake would be weird but I will try it to see what happends. Thank you!

Mesh, or a grill. Places like MNPCTech (@Mnpctech) sell them in various shapes and sizes.

Use code MNFAN at checkout, so you get discount if you order the mesh from Mnpctech.
 
Thank you TVwazhere, I would like to spend more time in the forums, but 2019 has been overwhelming busy, but in the best way imaginable. So many new client projects in the works atm, https://mnpctech.com/promote-game-release-gaming-computer-pc-giveaway.html
