How many fans needed?

[t3x]

Hello,

I currently have 2 front intake fans and 1 exhaust fan at the back. I have 2 more slots available at the top of the case.

Would you add more fans there? intakes or exhaust fans?

Thanks

add another exhaust (in the top)perhaps? What are your current fans? also remember more fans = more noise, so if temps are okay I would not bother.

Thanks Robert, it's a new computer and it's running fine so far. How do you check the temperature anyway?
The fans are Coolermaster JetFlo 120mm Fans.
Cheers

MSI afterburner will give CPU per core temps and per GPU temps. those are pretty decent fans, so it really is up to you on whether you fell things could and should be cooler.

I would add 2 more exhaust fans at the top of your case.

AIDA 64 is what I use for system temp checks , try it out.

^ if they are not needed then you have extra dust.

2 Exhaust fans on the top won't cause any extra dust.
