I wanted to start mining some crypto to start paying off the price I paid for my 3080, but apparently I don’t have the sufficient cooling to get the mining performance I’m supposed to get.

I have a box fan, can I put it in front of my case and remove the front panel? Anything special I have to do to make that work? Should the fan be intake or outtake? Would I need a dust filter? Is it worth doing something like this?
