Hi i was just wondering would i be able to replace the stock fan that comes with the A50 because i find the noise to be too loud. What are some other fans i could use to replace the stock one ??

Also is there any way i can add another fan on top for push and pull

Are you using the line resistor?
I have an A70 using the supplied resistor and it's fairly quiet and it's push/pull.
Didn't use them at first and they're an audible improvement.
Sounds like it was a better choice since the A50 has no 2nd fan mounting hardware.
You'd have to McGyver it!

Not without some twist-ties and or rubber bands.
No mounting hardware other then what's included.
