Command 97 Posted June 29, 2016 Always a good idea, especially if you have your computer in an enclosed area. Also, make sure you clean out dust every couple months. There are intake filters you can buy at newegg cheaply if your case does not have them. I tend to use Panaflow or Scythe brand fans. You can get cheap sleeve bearing fans at the fry's or micro center, but they die every couple of years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
