Hi, where can I find the best fan(s) for this game? It's making so much noise, so it would be nice to make it a bit quieter
 
It does get hot, so you'll need some good airflow, but I simply 86'd the single industrial fan and bought two Noctuas (80's or 120's, I don't remember) and ran them in a push-pull on either side of the motherboard. The good news is that the side that doesn't have the fan has the same holes for ventilation so you don't need to drill.

You may have the original video card which at this point probably has a very noisy ball-bearing fan. I got a newer one that was compatible (keyword: compatible) and only had a heatsink. I mounted a smaller 25mm Noctua on top of the heatsink. All three Noctuas made that as quiet as a mouse, and improved the airflow all around.
 
I did it myself, so it's obviously easy :D Start off with the 120mm Noctuas and leave the video card alone. If you notice the left side of your picture just has the vent holes - that's where you install the second one. Make sure the arrow orientations are up on one, and down on the other.

You'll have to verify the header pin count on the motherboard (not sure if it's 3 or 4), but IIRC Noctua supplies both connectors.
