Case Fans Needed For MSI GTX 970

[TheMightyChris901]

Hello, I am thinking about getting an MSI GTX 970 but I don't know If 1 intake fan and 1 exhaust fan is enough? Or do I need 1 more intake? I'm not looking to overclock. If anyone could tell me it would be appreciated!

What case do you have?

I have a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

Id put another intake on the front and an exhaust on the top

Thanks but I really wanna know if 1 intake and 1 exhaust would be enough? they are 140mm

If your cable management is good and the airflow is uninterrupted then you might get away with it. just having another 140 in the front will help though

The cable management is good because it was pre built for me, the only cable blocking slightly is the 2 6 pins to my current GPU, If I move the cables slightly I should be good Thanks

Even if it does get a bit hot I can always then buy another intake fan.

True, just judge it when you get the card.
