My pc has been getting extremely hot and i have no case fans. So i have some questions about installing some in my case. I see one place for a fan on the back and on on the front. (Pictures below)

 

-What size fans are compatible with my case?

 

-Does my MoBo have enough places to plug in the two more fans?

 

-Which cheap fans do you recommend?(i dont care about how much noise they make) and are there any good guides for installing them?

 

-Also because of my very weak psu, will the fans take up more watts/ put my psu in danger?

What case and MOBO do you have? If it's prebuilt, what model is it and what have you upgraded?

 

I'm guessing its 120 mm for the back of the case but that's just a guess. Front might be smaller, not sure.

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

So here is your mobo: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/A55BMAUSB3/specifications/   it says you have 1 cpu fan header and 1 chassis fan header

 From your picture it looks like the front and back fan spots are the same size as the fan on your cpu cooler

 

Additionally you have several spare molex connectors you can use to power fans.  You may need an adapter if one does not come with the fan you acquire.

Take ruler and measure distance between screw holes for fans along the side. I would say rear is 120mm and front 80mm.
