I recently bought a pre-built Asus Desktop, model number M11AD-US006O, when I first got it, I booted it up to make sure everything was running. Afterwards I started throwing in parts that I recently upgraded my old PC with, including a 750w PSU, AMD R9 280, and a 240gb Seagate 600 pro SSD.
Upon opening the case though, I literally saw only one fan.... the CPU heatsink fan, no chassis fan. I have to say Asus is really skimping out for a couple bucks. So I threw in a cheap/spare 92mm chassis fan, this little thing went on full blast at 2000 rpm, can't adjust it so its loud but I can live with it.
Problem is when I started playing Hitman Absolution, the R9 280 which was around 73-76 C in my old computer, shot up to 85C+, at one point it hit 93C.
I examined the case and saw that I can mount a 80mm fan in the front to assist with airflow, however due to the front panel of the case covering any possible entry for airflow, i'm a bit concerned whether the 80mm fan would even help at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated
