Hi All,
I am upgrading my current setup and wondering how many case coolers do I need. Is one case fan I've got enough?
Case: Corsair CC-9011138-WW Carbide Series SPEC-05 (1 120mm front fan pre-installed)
CPU: Ryzen 2600, stock Wraith Stealth cooler
GPU: Asus ROG Strix Vega 56
Vega is the biggest issue, Asus says it draws more than 300w, so must be quite a hot card.
I guess other components do not impact cooling much (psu seasonic focus 750w ,mobo MSI b450, 2x ram 8gb, 2 HDDs, network card).
Thanks for advice.
 
Solution
You should have 2 front intake fans, and 1 rear exhaust fan at minimum.

3x front intake, 1 rear exhaust, and 1 top exhaust would be best. Then the fan rpms could be lower.

Thanks. I see packs of 3 fans on sale, which makes it four with my current one. What if I install 4 fans, how would be better to do it? In the case of two intake, two exhaust (rear + top) the pressure will likely be negative, I'd rather have positive to avoid dust.
