Where should I put my new fan?  I'll give y'all a drawing of what my case is cuz its weird. It's a corsair sp120 I think

Nice MS Paint skills.

 

I'd advise you to have positive air pressure, and in your place I would use the front as an intake, but I really don't think it matters very much.

Ackshuallley it's notability shur but should I also cut holes and put mesh in the windows because it is maybe 2 inches max from my gpu

I also get 75 degrees Celsius while playing over watch high settings with a Gtx 950 I think quiet setting

Hello! May I notify you there is no such chassis known as a 'corsair sp120', thus, may I ask to which case it actually is? I believe you meant the Corsair 'SP120' series of fans?

 

Also, which fans sizing is this?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Okay, thank you! I, personally would recommend having the 200m fan as the airflow intake, followed with the 120mm rear fan as an airflow exhaust, in our case this would be the Corsair SP120 fan you behold of. Even though this 120mm fan may not be able to move the same volume of air as the 200mm could, it should be worth noting the GPU will also require airflow.

 

If you so desire, I suppose that you could also add a fan on the right top fan mount, in taking airflow forwarded to the CPU, as this may alleviate any suffocation the CPU Cooler fan may see if all air is taken to the GPU first, as your case appears rather on the diminutive side of sizes.

 

I still really need to know the case first I order to correctly tailor advice to you.

 

Best of regards,

75^o is nothing in which you should be concerned about by the way whilst under load, especially if the fans are at a lower RPM, as with a lower RPM you still have tons of thermal headroom as these fans could just rotate up a tad faster. If at full game load, then achieving an average of 83^o - 85^o is then something to worry, that being if the fan speeds are at 100%...

I think it is a diypc cuboid. It hits 80 on really intensive times and for some reason overwatch likes to shut down when my gpu throttles the tiniest bit. It is just kinda more stress when it hovers 78-79C
