    Hi,

    I also have the Predator PO3-600 with an i5 9400F, Nvidia 1660Ti, 16GB Ram - just a few days ago I sent back 2 x 80mm Noctua fans as when I swapped out my intake and exhaust stock fans (after drilling holes for the intake) the fans just simply did not spin. They never automatically ramped themselves up when temps were increasing and just did not spin after boot. 

    I contacted Noctua and they said their fans do not work with Acer, I figured the stock motherboard must support PWM as the two stock fans have them as they automatically change depending on temps. 

    My question is, what intake and exhaust fans did you buy if you wouldn't mind sending me a link? When playing GTA and CS-GO I am seeing my GPU getting to 80 degree C, which kind of worries me quite a bit. My CPU doesn't seem to get that hot, but the GPU does, so I am looking to get more cool air into the case, and as you know the case has 0 mounting points for more fans, so I thought I would change the intake. 

    Any help or links are much appreciated.

    Thanks

       The Be Quiet! Fans Work With Most Of Acer Desktops Go For an 80mm Silent Wings 2 And An 120mm Quiet Wings 3 Your GPU Temps are Toasty But It wont Harm Your GPU Mine Are sitting at 87 while Gaming If You Are Brave enough you could replace the thermal compound on your GPU I Recommend Using The Arctic MX4 And You Could (If you Want) Replace Your CPU Cooler If You Plan To Upgrade to an i7 9700 some Day I Use The Hyper TX3 Evo from cooler master
