Looking for suitable fan

Does the case have a front mounted fan or is is all drive bays?
I don't know what case it is .. Some have provisions for a front fan, some don't without a bit of modification or buying a drive bay fan mount bracket and which will take up 3 drive bays.

It has slots you can push out. I can see The area where the fan goes it’s just getting the fan in there.
 
The slots you can push out are probably drive bays for HDD'S OR dvd drives etc..

If you want to mount a fan at the top front, you might have to buy a drive bay fan mount, but it's difficult to say without better pictures
 
I'm assuming you have a CiT Galaxy Evo case? If so there is not much info about it. I can't find a CiT company website or any reviews of case, and as mattyfez said only pics show one front fan at bottom. As ANDARIAL said, try taking front cover off and see if you can mount more fans there. Normally systems need about 3x 120mm or 2x 140mm good pressure rated front intake fans to give good case airflow for a CPU cooler using 120mm or 140mm fan/s and GPU with 2x/3x 80-90mm fans.

Are the slots you can push out on the back? If so they are PCIe case slots. I almost always remove all of them to make an nice size vent around the GPU for better front to back airflow. Here is link to a basic guide to how airflow works and how to optimize case airflow.

I think it does have slots at the back. I’ve seen pics of my case and says it red and blue leds. Mine just has blue. Would have preferred the red.
 
Ive put in new cpu and the 2 new fans but I’ve clearly done something wrong because the fans ain’t working and when I turn pc on it starts beeping constantly and then shuts down. The other fans work until it shuts down that is.
 
Intel i7 4790 4.0ghz
Aorus GeForce gtx 1080 ti
Cx600 PSU
Motherboard GA-B85M-DS3H-A
16gb Corsair memory.
Noctua fans

Worked fine yesterday. Put in cpu today.
