Hey, i am looking for some fans for a no-name oem case with not many mounting places, so they will be mostly held by cable ties.
Now, im unsure which ones should i get. I mean, i have m5a97 pro motherboard, external exhaust (blower) gpu and a stock cooler on cpu (the "new" wraith one). Now, where shoud i put them, and which ones to choose? I got one 3-pin case fan connector, one 4-pin case fan connector and smth called power fan connector, which is 3-pin.
I've got space for a 80-90mm fan (the holes on the case are about 85mm in diameter) for a rear fan, placed above the rear io, then a space for a 70mm fan in the middle of the front panel (approx a bit lower than the rear fan) and a space for up to a 120mm in the bottom of the front. And the psu is sitting above the mobo, with the intake fan facing down. Also, all the gaps where the extension cards fit are open, as i got it like for free just for taking it away. Same goes for the dvd drive brackets and a hole for i guess floppy drive.
The system was running few months without side panel, with a slight oc (stable 4,6GHz on FX-4350) and without any case fans (no time+money+will).
The question is, where should i put the fans, and which ones should i buy? I'm on a rather low budget also.
Also, a noob question: are all fans controllable, or do i specifically need a PWM one to be able to control it?
