Hi there,

I am currently using Lian LI PC60 case. the intake fans at the front are not good enough. If I am planning to get a few Sunon KD1208PTBX-6A case fan (with 50.6 cfm). I would like to know should I just order 2 and mount them at the front panel, or just order one and mount it at the back (near the power supply)

Please kindly advise.

You've pretty much hit the two most common areas to mod your case and put extra fans in. Near or at the top of your case or on the side of your case, typically over the cpu or video card. In my opinion, I would mount a fan over the video card and drill out a blowhole w/fan at the top of the case. Take a look at this particular article even though it features the Lian Li PC70 case.

hi namrak

Many thanks for your suggestion. Add a top blow hole seems like a good idea.

Put your new ones in the front and move the old ones to the back, couldn't hurt! And you can try it before cutting others in. Don't know your whole story but in general case fans lower temps in small amounts with each additional one. A good cpu heatsink/fan will give the largest single drop.
