that case has terrible airflow

it only has spot for a 80mm/92mm fan on the rear,

and the single 120mm that is on the power supply

 

i would recommend spending $30 and just getting a new case

 

 

Yeah.. I'm looking into that.. but for now I just need a new fan :) I ordered a 92mm Nactua fan. It will have to do for now.. any recumendations for a case I should buy?

Hey. I've been here before for help and you guys were the best..

 

so, since i've got a MSI 1060 6Gb graphics card in my system and added more storage. I now find it is time to upgrade the aircooling..

didn't think i would be a problem, but this summer proved me wrong.. My afterburner tells me the fans on my graphics card is maxed out. 

 

and before something happens to it, i better do something. 

I got a Acer predator G3-605. Link to it's specs is down below.

 

The case itself is passiv cooled.. My question is, how do I know if I can add two more fans to the motherboard? Or should I look into using USB fans and a Hub?

this is good because you add that 92mm noctua fan in the back , and it comes with 120mm on the front for intake

very good budget case that comes with two 120mm fans (im not sure how loud/quiet they are, but thats plenty of airflow)
