Solution CTurbo Oct 1, 2016 The case only comes with one rear 120mm fan. I would probably add two more. One up front and one up top.

ImmortanMoe Honorable Sep 2, 2016 101 0 10,760 Oct 2, 2016 #7 Yup, add two more 120mm fans to it. I personally prefer to maintain a negative pressure air flow within the case which is obtained by having more exhaust fans than intake fans. Upvote 0 Downvote
