Hi All,

I would like to know whether it  is possible or not to add an addiitonal fan (120mm) to the LIAN LI PC-60BPLUSII computer case.

I have read here that someone has added a 'floating 120mm internal fan to circulate air'. Has anyone done something like this on this case to improve air circulation? I have five HDs and this is why I wish I could do this? 

Thank you for helping 

'floating' to me would mean something like Antec's Spot Cool fan, as far as dimensions go for that fan, I'm not sure.

Hi SergeiV,

Do you think it is worth to do something like this or is there any other way?

Thank you for you help 

Well 'circulating' the air inside the case is one of the weirdest idea I've heard. Usually the way you're supposed to do it is, get the air in, have it pass over your components or areas of heat, and exhaust out. You shouldn't have mini-hot tornados inside the case.

If you have a specific area that's running hotter than normal, and the current airflow doesn't really flow over that heat generating area, then you might want to consider rearanging the airflow if you can, or use one of those spot coolers to cool the area off and get the hot air out to another part of the case where it can be exhausted out.

I totally agree with you. I thought the same I should make a 'hole in the case to add an additional fan. But it is better to live things as they are.

Thank you 

Hi,

Last build I did was useing that case, Im surprised that you need more fans, I found the four fans that come with the case to work very well.

Anyway, an easy sollution is just put a PCI slot cooler in there, it will give you an extra exhaust port and you wouldnt have to mod your case. In an older PC I had, I used a PCI slot cooler and it worked well for years.

Yeah slot coolers are nice. I use one to exhaust the excess heat off of my video card.
