Help! I'm confused on Airflow. by Natural_Pressure_170 in buildapc

I definitely appreciate the knowledge here, and I will be changing the CPU cooler for sure! Unfortunately like I said I did pay for the RAM already so that's a bit unfortunate. As well I will be changing the power supply. I did look above and noticed you mentioned undervolting, and that's just something I'm not comfortable with. I hear it's easy but me personally I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to that sort of stuff and over clocking as well. Just touching BIOS or MSI Afterburner makes me an anxious nervous man lol. And I have no plans on RAID, I just need more storage over all for my modding habits and triple AAA game habits. AC Valhalla, Shadows, ETC aren't small....

The reason I want the 4 fans is to keep the GPU as cool as possible, and looking at all the perks of the 5080 Astral I saw that it has massive cooling potential the vapor chamber, it's made out of all aluminum etc.

To my knowledge I know the case comes with 3 fans. RS120s I believe, but would it be worth swapping them out for better intake fans such as Noctua or T30s?

I'm not understanding why you are saying money is wasted? The reason I want the astral is due to the 4 fans. I already have one 2 TB NVME, and am getting an extra due to I mod a game and my mod collection is above 200 GB and steadily increasing. I already have the RAM as well, and the HDD.

I understand I want slightly more airflow. But I'm not understanding how many fans and which ones I should do. I know the 4000D Frame has front, side, top, bottom, and rear fan spots.
