The specs for your case are here:

120mm or 140mm fans
For fans you could consider these:

they are nice fans, only question i have is that the fan spaces on case are at top and i take it they would be to take hot air out the case? or ok to put fans there and have them blow air down ?

If you are going to place fans at the top of your case I'd recommend they are used to exhaust hot air out of your case. You will probably have some fans at the front bringing cool air in and a fan on the side (big 200mm one).

thanks for that, another question. i am using tha pallit thunder master software and was increasing my fans speed manually to try it out, problem i have is that it only seems to change one of the gpus fan speed , the other is still staying normal , well thats what gpuz says when i click between them, am i missing something asi cant see any option on the thunder master software to switch to other gpu, thanks

I had the same issue, I changed back to Vtune.

I had the same problem when i tried thundermaster,

have a look see if you can find vtune, that's the older palit software...

ok thanks, i must say damm they are gonna be loud if i set both to 80%

**leea12345** · 22-08-12, 18:25

just to let you guys know, msi afterburner works good for fan control on both cards

**baron75mk2** · 24-08-12, 07:57

80c for these modern cards is fairly common these days my top GTX680 will hot 79c when playing battlefield 3 & witcher two - i wouldn't worry about it they are made to run at those temps , id be more worried if it were over 90c personally

**Karnor00** · 24-08-12, 08:52

Typically when the fans are set on auto, they will run fast enough to keep the GPUs at 80-90C. You can manually set the fans higher if you like, but you will get more noise and the lower temperatures are unlikely to provide any benefit as GPUs are designed to run pretty hot.

Extra case fans are unlikely to provide much benefit unless your airflow is bad to begin with.
