Question Old fans with new Hardware

[xdp]

Hello

I have a quick question about reusing old chassis fans in my PC.
I want to save some money by reusing some old chassis fans from some 3D Graphic PC's from my company that we will not be using anymore.
Would it make sense to put 3x Fractal Silent r2 fans in my pc with a 4080, and i7-13700k? Im a student right now, so im trying to save some money.

The mentioned fans are from around 2012 and they spin up to 1.2k rpm, they all have 3pin connectors and are 120mm.
My temps are just fine with the build i have now, but i have some fan slots i could fill with fans to make my temps better.
When I run multicore benchmark after about 9 minutes 1 or 2 cores start to reach 100 Celsius, I think with more cool air in the case that would be solved.


Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What is the make and model of your case? Ambient room air temps?

Experiment and find out.

13700K charges toward 100 degrees by design. You get to decide if that is something that needs to be "solved".

Some benchmarks provide stress you'd never see in day to day operation, but that may not ease your concern.
