Question Fan placement

[zbs60]

Hi all

Im building a computer for my office. Im using a inwin 301 case.
There is no front panel vents. It also has top mounted power supply. Im using a amd 2600 psu. Im using a asus passive cooling video card. Can i get by using just one fan or two? If just one fan, would u mount it up front or rear?

What graphics card do you have, and what CPU cooler?

That case has vents for the front fans on the side panel. Those honeycomb-shaped openings. And you can also put intake fans on the bottom. I think it's a good idea if you put two intake fans in the front plus the rear exhaust fan.

Its a budget setup. Im using a asus 6450. The cooler is the stock amd cooler

Ok, yeah, then it's a good to have at least two intake fans (and the rear exhaust fan). The AMD stock coolers are good, but they can get hot. And passively cooled graphics cards want good ventilation too.

I got this from the Inwin's official site. so the case fan be oriented in various ways. The downside of this case the cable management is tough. For the first time builder it will be hard to cable manage in this case. The graphics card will easily be cooled plus the size is small enough to fit in the case.
