Fan upgrade choice?

[LightCode Gaming]

So I have some spare cash, and I'm thinking about getting 2 more fans for my case. (Look at image for reference)

The top of my case can take 120mm and 140mm fans. Two of them. One directly above the Hyper 212 and one towards the middle (the drawing is crude and not 100% accurate, sorry ><)

My questions are:

Should I do 140mm or 120mm in them?
Which way should I have them pointing? AKA intake or exhaust?

Are you having any heat problems? If not then I wouldn't even bother getting new fans and just use the money on something else you want.

Well, my GPU (below the hyper 212 in the picture, not pictured) gets to about 55C when gaming, and CPU goes to about 50C. The fan on my GPU gets decently loud around 53C, so I'm hoping this would lower the temps a bit. 

I'm not sure if either of those temps are problems, but I don't like them going up any higher so I'd like to bring them down if possible. The fans and power splits wouldn't cost me too much either.

Yea both those temps are around 30c below when you start running into problems. If you find the gpu fan loud just get MSI afterburner and lower the fan speed and just make the gpc stay under 80c and all will be good. My 980ti runs from 70-80c while gaming.

I wouldn't upgrade. Think about positive air pressure. If there is dust filter in front, having more intake will help keep your computer clean.

And 50*C for CPU and GPU is perfect.

 

If you want to experiment you could try to borrow Puget Systems idea.

So what you are saying is I could use my pc as a hand warmer?

I know I'm getting at least 1 fan though; for the hyper 212. Should 70's be good enough and safe for my gpu? especially if it's blowing right onto my PSU?

Oh yea 70s will be perfectly fine and what fans were you looking at for your 212?

Thats the plan

Now to find splitters...

This look good? I'd need to get 2 of them if they work.

Wouldn't the one I linked do the exact same thing?

Pretty much the swiftech just lets you control all the fans off one header insted of multiple. Aslong as they are PWM.

I think I'm going to just go with the 2 splitters at $4.99 or whatever it was. Cheaper and still fits my needs. Thanks for the help though!
