Is exhaust fan needed?

[AyyyItsBleach]

I just ordered my pc parts and totally forgot about case fans.(i5 4460, G1 Gaming r9 380 4gb, Corsair Spec 01 Case) Since I still am 14 and can't get a job my parents paid for it. I don't feel like asking them for more money. Do I need an exhaust fan for it I don't plan on Overclocking.

Yes, you really should have at least 1 exhaust fan at the back. Don't worry, you don't need to break the bank in order to get a descent one.

This 120mm Arctic Cooling fan is 6 bucks and would be a perfectly good choice for someone on a budget who still needs to finish out their case for proper airflow:

Case Fan: Arctic Cooling Arctic F12 74.0 CFM 120mm Fan ($5.95 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $5.95

Does the case not come with even 1 fan? aslong as you have atleast 1 fan blowing in, air will get pushed out where ever it can. same goes if you have 1 fan on exhaust it'll still pull air into the case from where ever it can. Oh its spec 01. that comes with a front fan. it should be ok. just download some software to monitor your cpu and gpu temps and make sure they are ok

It comes with 1 front intake.

Here's a budget Red Led that will look good in the spec case.

You need a rear exhaust , very important.

I used the same case for a cheap build using components from my old pc including a gtx 460 which isn't a cool card for my sister. and it does ok.

You need an exhaust fan , 1 intake won't cut it in that case.

OP didn't select that ANSWER , was a drive by pick.

Trust us, either fans linked above are not costly and are all you need.

It doesn't have to be expensive, but it really is neccessary to have at least 1 rear exhaust.

Agreed you need at least one exhaust , since you have a front intake , the rear is your best choice at this time.
