Should I trade in my PC?

Go to solution Solved by ki8aras,

dude just add a fan and remove it if you need to RMA the system, nobody will ever know

TL:DR: My prebuilt PC has crappy cooling and I dont want to void my warranty by adding fans. Looking at an Ibuypower to switch to instead but don't know much about the brand.


Alright, so I recently bought a prebuilt gaming PC from best buy and pretty much all they had at the time was an HP Omen. The specs are good, 3060, 16gb ddr4 ram, ryzen 7 5700, liquid cooling (idk how many mm), but there is only 1 intake fan and it sits at the bottom area of the front of my case so it really only cools stuff under my graphics card. If I add fans it voids my warranty and I'm not too good with fixing stuff so thats not really an option. Just now an Ibuypower came into stock with the same specs but better fans. Ive never heard much about Ibuypower and I was wondering if its a good brand

Just add a fan, and if you need to send it back or anything just take it out. Don't screw the fan in too hard though, it'll mark on the case.

plastic screws

Mate, just buy a couple of fans and place them in the case.

 

Make sure you face them the right way for your desired effect. 

 

I did it with my pre built, and it's fine.

 

Worse case, if you have to send it back just take the fans out.

 

What's the issue?
