Hello

I am looking for a cooling/fan I can use for my pc.

My motherboard can only hold 3 fans and its not cooling my pc well.

During gaming my temperature goes up to around 34C.

I am concerned that when summer heat comes my pc might get too hot.

Your case will limit your airflow. Hopefully you have a front intake fan. The only thing you can do for your current
situation is install a more powerfull fan in the rear of your case. If you are gamming or running any programs
that put your cpu under maximum stress an aftermarket cpu cooler is necessary. This would be for longer cpu life an keeping temps low while gaming. If your not stressing your cpu your ok.The same goes for your case . It is made for lower air flow and quieter operation.the main thing to worry about this summer is keeping your room as cool as possible.

I depends on your price range but you can never go wrong with the Noctua fans they make air flow enhanced fans and static pressure enhanced fans too. They are pretty ugly, however, if you can get over the color they are amazing fans will last forever. I have a few in my rig and they are great. Super quiet too.

What case do you have? If you can add fans depending on case configuration you can go to a fan controller. Also do you know what fans you have and how much cfm (cubic feetper minute) they are rated at? Are they 120mm, 93mm etc. Good case cooling always requires more forthought than we usually give it. I use be in a mind set of, whatever, when I started building computers. Maybe I can help you as well as others. Also I hope your not using a stock fan on your cpu while gamming. Depending on your cpu. You Might want to list your setup.

I have a bitfenix shinobi mid tower.
120mm fan
I am using a stock cpu fan as I was told is perfectly fine as long as I don't overclock.
and what do you mean by fan controller?
My cpu temp seems ok but obviously all the parts produce heat I am concerned when summer comes my overall temp will be too hot
