Question Adding fan to case from old AIO cooler?

[Bolted_Fault]

I recently had to replace my AIO cooler on my i7 8700k. The fan still works. Is there any benefit to adding the old 120mm fan onto the case? Currently I've got the corsair H60 cooler, stacked fan/radiator/fan, then a fan in the front of the case, and thats it. Seems to keep the temps down, but I'm wondering if I'd get benefit adding a little extra inlet fan power to the front of the case.

Do you have an exhaust fan? If not you could really benefit from the fan using it as an exhaust

Unless I'm mistaken, both fans on my radiator are exhausting, while the fan in front of the case is bringing air in.

Good to know. Then you can improve your airflow with your extra fan or have the other case fans spin on lower rpm but still having the same airflow with the extra fan.

What is the make/model of your case?
I like the idea of adding an extra front intake.

I think the case is some proprietary thing. Its an ibuypower PC that I bought second hand, mainly for the rtx 2080.

Since you already have the fan, why not try it and see?
The downside is your effort, possibly more fan noise,
The upside is that your motherboard vrm's and graphics card will get more fresh air.
