Amount of case fans?

[Alexander Culletto]

Since this is my first build, I was curious if i'll have enough airflow in the current case I have. Its an older Lian-li with 2 intake 80mm fans in the front, one 80mm at the top as exhaust, and another at the back below the psu. I'll also have an evga top mounted sucking air in from the bottom of it and blowing it out. Would this be okay for a i5 4690 with stock cooler/paste and a gtx 760? If not I can get http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FL3AZVK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A20O7ZIM03RW46 .. The amount of air flow in this case for the price seems very nice, plus it looks good and well built.

well i depens i think you have enough airflow if you DONT overclock you sytem by overclocking more you components becom hotter as long if you DONT do that you shoud be fine good luck whit you new pc i hope it will work great

 

[Alexander Culletto]

I hope so too and tank you! And nah I'm not overclocking, but anywhere I can save money without losing performance I'll go with

just to be sure try installing speedfan it shows you your tempture of your components try using while gaming and if it sas that it hot dasent mean it bad the standarts of speedfan are starnge

How hot should an i5 get at full load before I have to worry? I'm sure the gpu will be fine as it has ACX cooler

 

[sgtmasterD]

the maximum tempture that it shoud get is 75c if it goes over that try buying a new cpu fan block

That case is nice, how would it be though compared to the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FL3AZVK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A20O7ZIM03RW46 ?

The one I posted is a solid case , great value for the money.

 

[Alexander Culletto]

Think I might go with it then. Should I add more fans?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

2 - 120mm fans for the top , that's what I'd do.

Okay sounds good to me ty so much. I'm getting the evga 600w psu, and it has the giant intake fan on top. Should I mount it up right in the case, or put it upside down so it sucks air in through the dust vent?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Mount the PSU fan face down.

ty for all your help!
