Fan set up help

[Newhegan]

Hello, so i will be building my first pc soon and i was wondering , do i need to buy a whole bunch of cooling fans for the case to max out the slots? Or should i get less, the case i am getting is the corsair 300r

I also want to know how i should set up fans for good air flow

thanks

You won't 'need' any extra fans. Use the money for better parts now, add fans later.

When you do get fans if you get more use this type of setup.


Face PSU fan down.

So initially i wont need to worry about fans or overheating then? Will the stock fans on the case do just fine?

SEE HOW THE TEMPS ARE then if you need more you can order a couple we will be here to help.

The stock fan will do fine. It really depends on how extreme you need to get with your cooling, what stuff you want to put in there and how hot it gets where you live. If you want to get insane overclocks then every degree can help but for most people stock fans are fine, and maybe add some LED fans for bling or if you think it's getting too hot in the case.

The 140mm in the front and the 120 mm in the back is plenty.

Also it's not on Blackbirds diagram, but fans on the side panel of the case should suck in outside air.

The side fans aren't included , and not necessary in most cases.
