2x ??cfm back exhaust fan plugged directly on the psu

1x ??cfm lateral intake or exhaust i dont know

I mean pwm cuz i wanna plug top gan exhaust directly on motherboard.

i have seen your post for fan bracket so what i write on the big auction sit didn’t find the bracket only ,i just found the fan and bracket...

Hello my xps came with the 120mm bracket

so i install the new fan i bought artic bionix f120 69CFM fit perfectly

i wait for the 850W seaSonnic psu upgrade , i take your advice for 20 bux more of 750w....

and i think i will wait for disc reader to be plugged cuz the 6-pin slimline sata 15pin sata power cable are very rare in canada quebec.....

Then i really don't know which 2070 put inside this.....

i wait for black Friday too for the GPU

also thanks a lot for response and have a great days:)

I think only 4 pin fans are PWM and removing the top grille will do nothing but invite debris, there is no restriction there now. Why does everyone think some fans are quieter than others? There is no silver bullet there, they just have a spinning prop that pushes air. Speed is what affects fan noise. If there was a secret formula for noise reduction wouldn't every maker know it by now?
