So my motherboard only has 1 fan header which is for the cpu fan. Stock it came with no intake or exhaust but I would like to change that by adding 1 intake fan and 1 exhaust fan. I do have 3 sata cables free. Do I buy low rpm fans connect them via a sata adaptor and have them running at full throttle or there is an other way?

It’s a Dell inspiron 3891 prebuilt .
Well I bought it used and the plastic vent thing wasn’t there. Also it is a i5 10400 with a 1650super squeezed in there. The pc can become a toaster under load pretty fast, I use it with the side panel off but I would like to change that .Why do you think it needs additional fans then?
It looks like the CPU fan is ducted directly outside as an exhaust anyway
