So with just one extra fan right now should I put it on the bottom blowing in or at the top blowing out? Also I have an MSI 870-G45 MB, will I be able to hook a fourth fan straight to it or will I have to hook it straight to the power supply?

Thanks a lot for the help,

Casey

Top blowing out I would say (balance) :)

TY Ciara!

Linnemeyerhere has got it right, if you only have 1 fan, put it on the top. You need to exhaust the incoming air from the front and carry the heat out with the back and top fans. If you get another fan, then add to the bottom. If you have 2 empty slot on the top, you definitely need the fan on the top. I believe on your case that you can use multiple 120mm fans in place of the 200's. Those would provide even more airflow.

linnemeyerhere and everyone else,

Thank you very much for the help! What the heck...fans are cheap so I am going to put 2 fans in the top blowing out and one in the bottom blowing air in. That will give me one in the front w/air in, one in the back w/air out, two in the top w/air out and one in the bottom w/air in...that will fill up all the available fan openings.

Does anyone know a good place to get that dust filter material? I had a little bit that came with the Cooler Master Elite case, but it is not enough for all the fan openings. I have cats and dogs and cat hair is not a good combination for computers.

You will only need dust filter material on the fans blowing into your case, and try Computer case fan filters in your search engine



Or you can make your own using lady's tights/stockings

+ REP to everyone that responded. Thank y'all very much!
