Just ordered a GTX 780 SC w/ ACX Cooling. My 660ti has never ran particularly hot, but seeing as the new card is just going to blow the hot air into the case rather than straight out the back I'm going to buy myself some more case fans. Here is a picture of the case for reference: (I already have an intake fan on the front)

I need some help deciding on what fans I should get, and where I should place them. I need something quiet and preferably thin that can get the job done. I need the ones going up top thin since there isnt much space between the mobo and top of the case. (See crappy quality images here)

Thanks for reading! :p

It looks like you can only fit one fan on the front. What size? If its a 120 - same as the rear, I'd add another intake fan at the side or bottom
You only need one at the rear. It's probably a 120?

Heyo, Yeah its a 120 on the front. So you suggest an intake on the side and an exhaust on the rear? Now what fans would you recommend?

Uase whatever comes with the case. If you need extra get Corsair or Noctua fans. More expensive, but good.
