I want to upgrade my video card to the MSI GTX N750 ti. I know my case does not have great air flow. But does the 750 ti really need more than 1 intake fan and 1 exhaust? My case can't hold anymore fans that the ones mentioned above.

I kind of want to avoid buying a new case just for a card since I am new all this hardware stuff and unscrewing the motherboard and all that sounds tedious.

Thanks in advance!

1 intake and 1 exhaust should be enough for a GTX750ti. It's a low power card that really doesn't get that hot.

Sorry, I took apart the side panel to see inside and it looks like I actually only have 1 rear exhaust fan (120mm). Is that still enough cooling for the 750 ti?

Then don't bother going around because of one fan, it's really not that necessary. The GTX 750 Ti doesn't heat up at all (I have it -see my specs below-, and been using it for gaming and designing for 1 year 24/7).

Good luck with that, hope I helped.

The 750ti doesn't produce much heat , and it's a very low power draw card , no extra fans should be necessary.

Only one thing might, possibly, spoil the party-the power supply-With 300 Watts on tap it'll run the system easily enough but most GTX750Ti cards need a 6 pin PCI-E power lead from the PSU to work, either that or you'll need to use a molex/PCI-E "Y" splitter :http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=molex+ot+pci-e+Y+splitter&FORM=HDRSC2#view=detail&id=FE0CB2D70141BD5023EC9466E2A059812B6A4A3F&selectedIndex=26 which will require two free Molex plugs.
Best option would be a GTX750Ti like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133531 No extra power lead required and the cooler will send some heat out of the case, avoiding both possible problems.

Most don't need a 6 pin , but some do , my son's EVGA FTW needs a 6 pin.

Thanks everyone for your answers! I don't know who to pick for the solution xD

i've got a Asus Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB and it has two fans similiar to the MSI's but what i can't tell from looking at the MSI is how deep or thick they are - the Asus fans are thin, maybe 12mm at most and temps on my 750 Ti generally stay pretty low, highest i've seen them is 39C, when the motherboard is reporting 37C. I do a lot of video rendering, so if it was prone to overheating, i'd have seen it

my case is a SFF (silverstone sugo SG02F) and it's tight with very little volume. I didn't add any fans to the case when i installed the card. The power connector on my asus 750 Ti is a 6 pin,

What blackbird SR-71 said about the 750 Ti being a low power (and low heat) gpu is pretty much on the money

fwiw

okay! thats good to know thanks! do you know anything about he gtx 960 and the cooling needed for that?

i can only speculate - but it has it's own fans same as the 750, i don't think i'd worry about that aspect in considering whether to buy one - it's surprising how much air you'll feel being pushed out the rear side of the card, thru the slots in the card's expansion port cover - in other words, it'll be throwing it's heat to the outside of the case
