My question is could I mount TWO 200mm fans to the front intake of my 600T case?

When I say two... I mean both fans back to back. Would it do any good at all? I want a little more air movement through the system. Don't wanna change to mesh panel and lose my window panel on the case.

Would having two 200mm fans back to back (both intake) do any good or is this just a dumb idea?

Thanks for any help on this idea or any other suggestions.

I just want more airflow to maintain GPU temps under 80C.

Thank guys.

Thanks for quick response Nada.

My CFM says 110 at full throttle. I ain't buying it though. Just doesn't feel as though it is pushing that kind of air flow. My Noctua's are doing a great job at exhaust (of course they would), but I need some more intake and this fan (bought it new a week ago), just ain't cutting it.

And ya think stacking is not a good idea? I wish it were. I have about 3 200mm fans lying around here and could stack 'em easy. None of them, on their own, push enough air imho.
