Kolink Observatory - RGB Fans

The case comes with 4 RGB fans, the controller can accept more, my question is has anyone found a source as to buy extra fans for this case? Or compatible that is confirmed on OCUK?

Asked Kolink and they were very response: Lian-Li RGB fans *should* work.

I am about to RMA my first and definitely my last Kolink anything, https://www.overclockers.co.uk/kolink-void-rgb-midi-tower-case-black-window-ca-04l-kk.html , never have a i seen a case that restricts airflow this bad, 3 fans in front, not a chance, 2 are obstructed with the plastic panel for the light show up front, and the 3rd fan will blow into the PSU compartment, as for the roof, you have about 1mm in the honeycomb area, its a hot box waiting to happen, not daring to risk the 3600/5600XT build that was going in it for the daughter, ah well, live and learn, oh and no manual included and a bag of screws that are good for nothing.

I added hex standoffs (5 mm) to the front glass panel, makes a huge difference.

Running two 240 rads, each with a 120 fan, so eight in total, temps looks great under water!

That case looks like it lives upto its name: void!
