Hello, I saw that the Predator AG3-605 doesn't come with case fans, but has the slots for them, I just wanted to know what size fans do I need for the side and back of the case.

    Saniro,

     

    You made a good observation, however the system is designed for energy efficiency and optimal use for how it was designed from factory. I only found one slot for a system fan and that was towards the rear. It looks like it may accommodate either 80mm or 120mm fan, however I am not sure as these specs are not included because it was not designed with the idea of utilizing or needing the extra airflow.

    Oh, thanks for the response, I got a 80mm fan and managed to fit it in, but I have no 120mm fan to try it on the case, but are you sure a 120mm would fit? Because thats a huge difference from 80mm fan, and I thought the other hole mount would be for 92mm fans since its more close in size to 80mm.

    Sanrio,

     

    You may be right now that I look at the second mounting holes. I am happy you were able to get a fan installed.

    i asked the question about the fans and was directed here.

    can i use pretty much any 80mm fan and does my PSU have the appropriate connections for it.

    The second set of holes for the rear case fan is for 92mm which is the size I used with the Noctua 92mm NF-A9 PWM premium fans. It has 4 pins with a fan speed regulator.

    You should find a connector named sysfan1  4 pins on the motherboard (near the Cmos battery looks like a silver coin)where you can attach the case fan too. You can use either 3 pin(fixed fan speed) or a 4 pin (PWM) for fan speed regulation.
