I just built my first PC with a Corsair 4000d Rs Argb Frame and I'm using a Ryzen 9 9800x3d along with an RTX 5080. Currently, I have three 120mm fans at the front for intake, a 360mm AIO cooler on top for exhaust, and one 120mm fan at the back also for exhaust. I'm wondering if I should add two more fans on the bottom of the case as intake fans. Would it help with cooling, or is it really necessary? I noticed that while downloading my drivers, my CPU temperature was around 30 degrees Celsius.

You actually seem to have a pretty solid fan setup already! Given your case and components, it's likely more than enough cooling. Adding more fans won't hurt, but if your temps are already low, it might not be necessary. I say your current setup is good to go!
Check if your case can fit dual fans at the bottom. If it can, and you have some fans laying around, it would be worth it for peace of mind. You’ve got a powerful build, and a little extra cooling can help, especially if you plan to push it harder down the line.
Yeah, my brother does have a couple of extra fans I could use. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't overkill!
