@gergar What do you think about using 2 fans (1x intake, 1x exhaust)? I mean, the downsides of having ports on the back now is that it's not really possible, but maybe a small fan that covers part of the back side could help.
Or using 2 fans in the front. That did wonders on my Apollo.

it will help but in reality the way cables are today might need very small fans and to have a proper push-pull setup fans must be similar in cfm and pressure capacities (i tried some noctua 40x25mm and are large to fit) so i ordered som 6k 80mm fans from amazon one 25mm and other that is 38mm but cfm is 3x the current but noise will the the issue with these but i want to test how will it help.

this is the 38mm

this is the 25mm that fits with mo issues but you need in both an adaptor (link also included)

the adaptor

once i get them netx week let me test it and i can report back so you don’t throw away money … i can try to set a push-pull using the original fans i just need to get some very large bolts/nuts to use the top bolts from the current fan to secure the front ones just i need to do some measuring to avoid bending too much the power and usb cable as i am using an atx 1600w pc psu and the pcie cable doesn’t bend too much.

hope it makes sense to you.
