How to get best airflow

Hey all.
I have a question about how to get best airflow in my case.
right now i have a acer predator G3610 (http://komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=743788) and i only have 2 system fans and i really don't think my airflow is right.
i have one 120mm fan on the side cause my gpu gets really hot when gaming and i have one 80mm fan at the back is that good or do i need to have one more that blows air into the case from the front?
i really appreciate all the help i can get.

how many fan mounts do you have inside your case and what sizes are they?

more air flow is always better :) if you can fit a fan in the front no reason why you shouldn't. You could also see if you could move the wires about inside to create a better flow of air.

okey thanks for your answer:) and i have 3 mounts back, side and front and all but the side is 80-92 mm i believe.
I have tried to make it as good as i can with the cables.
I will try to fit a fan at the front and see if that can help me a bit:)

Fan at the front should work, yes. Do you happen to have any internal pics? :)

"internal" ;) from google i can see two types 1. that is mostly black and a bit of orange 2. front panel just an orange cover that you have to slide up.

only inside picture i can find is attached.

i hope inside is nothing like this one lol

The 'grill' sort of thing at the front makes it look like it could fit a fan, but looking at the front panel, I have no idea where the airflow would come from:

I don't think it's too bad though. You do have slightly positive air pressure which is a plus. With pre-build machines the chassis may look all flashy and cool but the truth is that none of them are going to be great cases (for airflow or expansion).

If you really want to fix your temps you'll have to either mod your Acer case or buy a new one and throw your hardware in that.

PS: +1 For Adept (As long as you mean the Adept I'm thinking of ;))

well the airflow from the front would come from the bottom and i don't really like the ide cause of dust maybe should find some kind of filter or maybe do like you said buy a new case maybe a lot better:)

and yes if you was thinking of Adept the band then we thinking on the same thing:D
 
I suggest upgrading the case. Not only will it look and be much higher quiality, it will also allow you to upgrade in the future.

Idk man, even the bottom looks pretty closed to me. Not a lot of air that would even get through there. A new case would be best.

Adept is a beastly band ^_^

They ship it out like that? Damn lol

You'd be surprised of how most manufacturers ship out their pre-built systems :s Acer definitely deserves Tom's n00b badge :lol:

i'm going to buy a new case and i don't want to spend much on a case (going to upgrade with new parts soon) so about 100-150 bucks

Bucks? Is that Dollars, British Pound, or Euro? lol

I'm assuming $ because many people in the US use the word Buck instead of Dollar. Anyway though...

Cases i would recommend for ATX: Fractal Design R4 or Arc Midi 2,Corsair Carbide 500r, Corsair C70( i dont like this case honestly but many do), CoolerMaster Storm Trooper( I don't like this either but many do).

These are simple for air cooling but watercooling will change the game and basically all but one case will remain in that list for WC; The Arc Midi 2. But i assume that you are just air cooling.

Yes dollars i'm from Sweden but thought that it was easiest to say bucks cause everyone know what it is:P

Okey thank you for the tips and i'm thinking of going over to water cooling but i don't know yet, most read a bit more about it
