Hi, I'm new to pc building/upgrading and around 3-4 years ago got the Omen Desktop 870-244. I'm starting to get the parts needed to upgrade the computer, I recently bought a Founders edition RTX 3070 ti. Soon I'm going to buy a new 750w PSU, but I was wondering with the case and the increase in power consumption should I get a new fan and if there are any fans that would work for the 870-244 case. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

@BlitzWur , welcome to the Community.

 

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that explain what to consider when adding or upgrading a video card.  Adding a new, high power, video card to a computer with a small mid-size case may be a bit risky.  I know that you want to add a larger fan, but I am not certain that there will be a space for it.  I don't know which size fan comes with your computer, but believe it may be a 120mm case fan.  You can measure the space where the case fan is installed to see if a 140mm fan will fit.  The main thing is to see if there are screw holes to attach the fan.
