Hello all,

So with my new(ish) computer build, the tiny fans on my AMD 7970 have to work overtime to keep the card cool. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but it is loud enough for my mic to pick it up and add a nice dose of static to any recording I try to do. My case (Aerocool xpredator x3) only came with 2 fans, 1 intake 1 exhaust, but room for many more. I will be connecting the fans to the fan controller that came on the case. Would I be better off adding 2 more intake fans on the side or just one on the bottom? If I were to put fans on the side I would go for this fan here. Or are there other thing I could do to keep the card cool?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
