Cooling question on Lian Li T60

[Sabakukupo]

I'm working on a custom build using this case: http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-t60/

I've never worked with an open air case before so I'm looking for opinions regarding cooling. Here's what I have so far:

I'm looking at the Corsair H100i to take care of the CPU.
I'm sticking with the stock cooling on the GPU, which looks sufficient for non/mild-OC purposes (Gigabyte GTX 780 Windforce).
The RAM has heat spreaders, which from what I understand, is overkill for cooling RAM anyways unless I was planning to brutally OC it, which I'm not.

Question is - considering the open air nature of the case, I'm not even sure if I need generalized "chassis" fans for general cooling. Any ideas on this? The only thing that seems to be not covered would be various parts of the motherboard, and I honestly have no idea if those chips ever get hot enough to be worrying about.

If it's relevant, here are the rest of the system specs:

Thanks in advance for all replies

Depends on the overclock you do with the CPU. If you do anything more than a couple multipliers, the motherboard can get quite hot, and a good, single fan blowing over it would definitely help out a lot. The motherboard normally gets incidentally cooled in a case because of air flow, but with an open case design like this, it wouldn't get really any kind of air movement.

However, if you aren't planning any kind of CPU overclock, you'd probably be ok without any additional cooling.

That said, if you were to get that attachment for the fans and put your H100i as an 'intake' on it, the airflow from the fans would be plenty for the motherboard

I didn't even think of that, that's a great idea. Much appreciated.

No problem lol I didn't think of it at first either until I saw that attachment, which is pretty cool. Enjoy it!
