      The new case (Coolermaster N300) only comes with a single in and a single out fan, which works just fine. However, I’m thinking of a couple of 120mm top exhaust fans. Now, it’s been a long, long time since I bought fans. I have £35 paypal credit, so hunting for (new) stuff off Ebay.

      Recommendations?

      Arch Linux, on a Ryzen 7 1800X, 32 GB, 5 (yes -5) HDs inc 5 SSDs, 4 RPi 3Bs + 1 RPi 4B - one as an NFS server with two more drives, PiHole (shut yours), Plex server, cloud server, and other random Pi stuff. Nice CoolerMaster case, 2 x NV GTX 1070 8GB, and a whopping 32" AOC 1440P monitor.

          I’ve had a couple sitting round for a bit that you’re welcome to – they’re new, boxed, unused.

          One is an AKASA – 3-pin – the other is an XILENCE  – 4 pin PWM.

          Let me know if they’re your thing.

            In my CM N300, I have 2x CM intake front fans, 1x top extractor and 1x rear extractor. I also have an Arctic freezer Pro on the CPU, almost directly below the top extractor. This keeps everything below 29ºC, under any loads. However, I only have 1x 1TB spinner, a 32GB SSD Cache Drive and a DVDRW in the case, as I removed drives I didn’t need some time ago. So there is lots of space for the air to move in and out. If you have several drives and components to keep cool, I would imagine that more cooling would be necessary.

            When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
            I'm out.

              Thanks, JayCeeDee. I’d happily give them a go if you can accept PP.
