Case fans

[Duski]

Why do I have 3 fan slots in the front when there's no opening to take or exhaust air? And I can also mount 2 fans at the bottom, would it help me with anything? I only have 2 at the top and 1 in the back set to take air from outside.

Would be great to know which case you're using!  

And maybe also your hardware specs and temperatures.

It's most likely a general use chassis, and the manufacturer has other models with ventilated front panels that use the same chassis.

You can do what I did and hack one or more holes in the front panel and cover them with a fan grill. They come in many shapes and sizes to help with your customizing needs.

Below is the fan grill/filter I used.

@Senzelian My case is a local brand and it's called MYRIA MY8737

My specs are I5 8400, RX 580 8 GB and 16 GB RAM. The temperatures are average but sometimes they go a little too high which is kinda annoying because I feel like I'm in a sauna. I was playing Battlefield V today and the temps reached 75-76*C for both the GPU and CPU (stock cooler). I would really like to have lower temps, maybe 60-65*C.

@VIVO-US So would it make a difference if I install 3 front fans? Even though the front is not ventilated I have a little opening at the bottom, here, I took a picture of it. 

@MadAnt250 It sounds good but I'm afraid I'll fuck something up lol, I always do..

As long as that small opening at the bottom isn't blocked, adding fans to the front could help a little with airflow.  Adding fans to the 2 openings on the PSU shroud could also help circulate more air to the graphics card.

Oh I see, thank you. Should I place them to intake or to exhaust air?

[VIVO-US]

It's most efficient to have front and bottom fans positioned for intake, and top and rear fans for exhaust.

Your temps are fine and what you're aiming for is needlessly low. It's not bad to want lower temps but there isn't much practical benefit.

Now that I see the case, maybe one or more fans up front can help a little bit if you can remove what ever is going across the holes.
