Enough Cooling?

[guptasa1]

Hey guys!

OK - cooling question for you guys if you don't mind me asking one.

I'm getting a system built, and my basics (heat related) are as follows:

Coolermaster Aluminum ATC-101 (Mid-Tower) Case:
- 80 MM Fan On Top
- 80 MM Intake
- 80 MM Output
Enermax 430 Watt Power Suppy
- Dual Cooling Fan Design : 9 CM Intake, 8 CM Exhaust
P4 2.0 GHz 478 Pin & Retail Cooling (Asus P4T-E Mobo)
PNY GeForce 3 Ti500 (Built In Heatsink/Fan)

None of the other components should generate significant heat (IDE drives, sound card, network card, modem, etc.)

What do you guys think? Enough cooling (I don't overclock)? That's at least 7 fans and 2 heatsinks, not to mention the aluminum case, and I *might* have another 125 MM duct, but I doubt it (need to check which version of the case I have). At any rate, under normal operation and game playing, think this'll be stable, or should I look into some extra cooling options?

Thanks,

Dude, that's plenty.

I have 2x80mm exhaust, 1x80mm intake and 1 (2 actually) on PSU exhausting.

You have way more.

:tongue: Have you ever tried cooking an egg on your HSF? Tasty. :tongue:

The only thing I suggest is that you count the amount of CFM exhausting, compared to the amount of CFM intake. Try to make sure it's as even as possible, to ensure good airflow.

You can't get enough cooling, that's for sure. But, if you start going nuts from all the noise, you might wanna turn some off or something. In that case, the top one would be fine to take off. The minimum amount off cooling would be having one intake at the bottom of the case, and one exhaust in the back. That PSU's pretty awesome (so I've heard), so, that'll help wonderfully. Plus, that aluminum case will help even more. Dude, you're rich! Share the wealth! :lol:

Anyways, have fun!

Don't pay any attention to my chickenscratch. 😱

Heyas!
Thanks a lot for the information guys! Glad to know that'll be enough without adding any special cooling. I've just heard so many things about heat problems and needed to make sure.

Thanks a lot!
