when playing demanding games on my pc after 1/2 hour my pc starts to get annoyingly very loud due to my CPU getting fairly hot im guessing and i have 2 spaces to put extra fans on the top my case and the side.
Q1-there are lots of different types of fans so what do you recommend i should choose?
Q2-How do i know if i can fit any fans,is there a certain cable inside my pc i should be looking for?
Q3-As you can probably tell by now im not brilliant with pc's so is it easy to install fans?

is this a prebuilt pc?
is it under warranty?

if not, imo replacing the cpu stock cooler with an after market cpu cooler will greatly reduce cooler noise as well as improve thermals. afaik the carbide 200r ships with one from intake cooler and one back exhaust cooler. i don't know how the builders configured your pc if it's a prebuilt one.

^^ we need to know answers to those questions. because, if it's under warranty, you will lose warranty coverage if you break the seal.

as for the fans, the primary noise generator in your pc are the cpu cooler and the gfx card cooler. replacing the stock cooler will give you better result upfront than adding fans - as you'd be adding more sources of noise.

i'm afraid i am not comfortable advising something that would void your pc's warranty. imo, you should ask the builder and check out their terms.
