Do I need a rear fan if I get an AIO water cooler?

[Dylan_43]

I was going to order a 80mm rear fan but I decided to get rid of my CPU fan cooler. Do I need to still get the rear fan if my new 120mm AIO will sit at the rear?

For that matter can a 120mm AIO work in the rear if it says 80mm?

Hello... 1) Every case and air flow is different, your running temperatures/seasons will determine what you will need.
2) Get a MM tape measure, 120 mm will be the mounting hole diagonal measurement.

What cpu do you have? What case do you have? Does the case have a front fan? Why do you want an AIO? See where this is going? If you want help with hardware you need to list all the parts in your system.
