Enough fans for OCing?

[Ampz]

Im getting a case with 2x 120mm fans one in and one out, and 3 80mm fans 1 in and 2 out. Is this sufficient for OCing? TY

That depends on what you're overclocking and what HSF you have. (And to a lesser extent, what CFMs those fans actually push.)

What are your specs? How far do you want to OC?

I'm not going with water cooling so these fans are good for now jsut need to buy the fans. Have a case that holds those fans. Which 120s should I buy? RPM wise etc? Wuzzy was telling me about a HSF i should get for my 3700+ san diago. Thanks in advance guys

What fans to get depends on how loud you want to go and if you want features like self-regulating or manually regulated.

I bought a case from a guy that has no fans but 2 slots for 120mm and 3 slots for 80mms. didn't come witrh the fans only paid 60 for the case. Bought 2 120mm Antec 3 speed 20krpm 120mm fans and am using 3 normal 80mm. The Antec fans i bought at a retail store so price was high $20.00 each. I coulndt remember the HSF that you told me to get but thanks I will order that also.
