    Exhaust Fan

    I am looking for an external fan, if there is one, to put in the side of my computer cabinet for additional cooling. I don't think the case has room for another fan, but it is inside the cabinet which has a closed back. Any advice would be great.

    If your cabinet has a closed back, just cutting a hole in the cabinet should give you the airflow you need, especially if the PC is enclosed in a nook.

      Yes it is enclosed now. A hole directly inline with the fan should work then?

        Yep, a hole in line with the case/PSU fans should work.

        Is the PC behind a closed door in front too? If it is, either keep it open or put a vent in it as well, so cool air can come in.

        Does the PC have any vents or fans on the side of the case?

          Closed door in front, and maybe one very small vent on the case side. Not significant though. I'll have to check.
