extra case fan

[djevv]

I just bought an extra fan to put in my case
I want it to blow air in to the case
I hope it will make the air in side the case cooler so the fan on my cpu wil becom more efective
my cpu is running at 60°c/(108°F if the calculation is 9/5)

now the problem I have is that i don't know where to put the new fan
the case is an Aopen hq08

please help me

are there any holes pre drilled in the case? If there is then you can buy a fan mounting bracket and just plug the fan in...otherwise you need to find a drill and a steady hand and mount the fan yourself.

suck air in at the bottom,blow hot air out at the top.Most of us have more than two fans.You can get a 92mm four wire fan at compusa for $10+/- its pretty good.Or a 120mm if you can find one.That should go on the bottom,in front of some kind of vent,make one if you have to.Then the top fan(s) go on top of the power supply.

Adding the fan will definitely lower the temperature inside your case and will make you HSF more effective. In my opinion, the more airflow the better. I just cut a 120mm intake blowhole in the side of my case, down low and toward the front. I saw a reduction in case temp and CPU temp almost immediately. It is even lower than when I left the case open...
