My case is Kolink Horizon RGB ( https://www.caseking.de/en/kolink-horizon-rgb-midi-tower-tempered-glass-black-gekl-033.html ). It has already four fans, but has space for two more. So is it worth it to add those two and if yes, should they take the air in our push is out? Also what case fans would you recommend? The reason I was thinking this is because when playing some heavy game (example Battlefield 5) my CPU temp is around 75°C and sometimes peaking higher. The highest peak has been 85°C according to HWMonitor. I read that it's not dangerously high for the CPU if its not running with that temp all the time. GPU temps are a bit lower than the CPU. Would it make any difference to the temps if I add those 2 fans? My CPU is Ryzen 7 2700X with the stock cooler and GPU is RTX 2070.

HWmonitor isn't accurate with Ryzen, you want to use AMD Ryzen Master.

As for your extra fans it won't make much of a difference, maybe a few degrees cooler. If you were to do so I'd use the same fans as the stock ones so you'll get a bit more RGB in the build. Just make sure you have enough spots on your fan hub or motherboard to connect the fans if you decide to do so.

I do have Ryzen Master, but HWMonitor is always showing same temperature for me than Ryzen Master so it seems to be working.

I can't find anywhere the info what fans are those. They have Kolink logo, but seems like Kolink isn't selling any fans.

Well thaks guys for help. I probably do it if I can find some solid and cheap fans or I find the stock fans.
