Can you post the full spec from your orders page

You may want to register your PC with PC Specialist so you get access to their support network (tech support and upgrade options), and so that we can see the full configuration.

However, the case looks like the Coolermaster MasterBox K500 - and the specs say it comes with 2 x 120mm Coolermaster ARGB fans on the front and 1 x 120mm Coolermaster ARGB fan on the rear.

This is of course assuming the Curry's PC World haven't had PC Specialist fit different fans for some reason - it wouldn't make much sense, but that's why I recommend registering with PCS, so we can see exactly what's in there.

I hadn.t seen that tiny hyperlink at the top

Still helpful to have the proper PCS config link though

certainly is or just paste the link if its something like that rather than incorporate into text

I think the Cooler Master website suggests they're just RGB fans, rather than ARGB? So they're probably Sickleflow 120 RGBs. But I'd want to check the actual serial number on the fans themselves to be sure.

Yes I might be wrong there, I was just going by the case info on the PCS website...

Yeah, to be fair those are ARGB. Definitely need to check the actual details on the fan itself.

@JaackBx, why do you need to add fans? What headers do you have available?

To be honest, I was only going to add another fan because theres space above the front 2 for an extra one, and the top fans theres a spaace for one more. Not sure if its even worth it

Probably not. I'd only upgrade the fans if (a) you have temperature issues or (b) you want all the RGB.

How are your CPU temperatures? (Check with HWMonitor or the Nvidia overlay system when gaming.) The biggest thing I'd be concerned about on that PC is the CPU cooling, because the 11700K is a hot old chip, and a 120mm AIO isn't an awful lot of cooling. If I was going to do a cooling upgrade, it would involve a 240/280mm AIO instead.

But if your temperatures are all right, I'd leave it as it is.

I don't check CPU temps much but I know playing New World it runs around 70°c GPU being around 61°c

That's fine mate, generally wouldn't be concerned unless you start to approach 90C

61C is really cool for a GPU in that game though, that case must have impressive airflow to be honest

Yeah I thought that about the GPU as its a Zotac Gaming 3070 and I heard bad things about them overheating! Cheers for the help though, I shall leave it alone for now

Zotac make good stuff dude, they've really improved in the last couple of years and their customer service has gotten really good. Seen them just flat swapping problems cards for new ones a couple of times this year already which is incredibly reassuring in my opinion
