[SOLVED] Is it okay to run my system without case fans?

[flyre777]

I have a mATX case that doesn't have any fan mounts so im wondering if im better off without any fans.

My system:
Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 8GB
Intel core i5-7500
8GB RAM
Asrock H110m-hds

Help is greatly appreciated, thank you 😀

Check your temperatures.
Without case fans it might get hot over time using it under load. And eventually lifetime of the components will decrease.
Which case do you have?

its a pretty cheap case. I believe its called the AVF Shieldo ACSD573

The classic fan install would be using one 120mm fan in front and one 80mm in the back of the case

At least you got AC in your room and you set it to 16C or you open your case and blow it with fan I think it'll be fine. If there isn't any of them, then you'll be in nightmare of frying your component

I just built a decent gaming PC kinda like yours but I use AMD. At first, there's no case fan attached. Just CPU fan and GPU fan. Idle temp is 60C and gaming can be up to 87C and it throttling the GPU. After I installed 3 fan exhaust at the back and 1 fan intake at the front, it helps lower the temp. Idle temp 50C and gaming temp 65C ish.

Of course at first whenever you buy a case you won't get any fan or maybe just 1 - 3 at front. You need to install more at back for the exhaust. I think on your case you can install 1 fan at the back, and maybe you can remove the top cover and install 2 more fan case(?)(I'm not sure).

But for sure you need external fans case for your component not to be fried. My suggestion if there aren't any options for the fans and your pc temp still high, buy gaming pc case. There's many cheap one but with lots of fan case slots.

I just checked my pc case, turns out, theres a fan mount on the side and rear of the case. I think if i slap on an exhaust on the back and an intake on the side i should be fine. I think this solves my problem. Thanks !

Should be one in the front in your case as well

Just the rear fan. Not the side fan.
