Need help upgrading cooling(My first time doing this)

AnnaTheKitty

So, I bought myself a new computer called HP EliteDesk 800 G1, the computer is completely fantastic and surprisingly way cheaper and powerful than those other high tech expensive computers. The fans are outdated, I can't control them, and it doesn't seem that I can change the fan speed since for some reason it doesn't give me the option to access the bios. So... anyone know how to upgrade, maybe add more fans, and also be able to control the fan speed on this old thing? I have no idea what to look for and this is basically my first time upgrading any computer that I ever own.

By case fan I think you are talking about the cover of the top, I had that remove for you guys to have a better view inside the pc. Also how to I buy a fan controller, install it, and how do I upgrade the fans/what fans do I need to buy?

If u dont mind some rgb just get one of this packs connect the fans and put them where u want (comes with a cheap controller and a remote)

But idk your case seems awful for fans it just has no space or filters etc 

Why do u even want more fans ?

Are those fans the same size as the fan in the computer? Also is there a video on how to install them?

I have no idea, I honestly just want a fan upgrade to keep my CPU cooled. The more fans the more the computer is gonna be cooled I guess?

What did you try to enter the bios? Did you press F10?

It may also be worth looking into SpeedFan for fan control: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

I tried F12 and it didn't work and F10 didn't work either, when I do F10 my monitor now isn't even picking up a signal from it
