So I was wondering would the stock cpu cooler be good enough to keep my cpu reasonably cool in the cooler master elite 130. The case includes one 120mm fan in the front and an 80mm fan in the back/ side near the rear, I believe they both work as intake fans but both can be removed, replaced, or reversed. Also the gpu I am using is a blower/ reference style with good reviews regarding heat that actually pulls air from both sides and exhausts it through the back making it work kind of like an exhaust fan. If you believe that I will need something else to keep my cpu and other components cool please tell me, I know that there are some non stock air cpu coolers that can fit in the case, the option to upgrade both fans, add an additional 80mm fan, as well as use liquid cooling but that is a last resort bc I am not comfortable with liquid cooling.
