[SOLVED] Do you really need case fans?

[lenni.michel]

I see many cheap cases that come without any case fans at all.
Now if I go for a Ryzen 3 with Boxed Cooler (which I don´t plan on overclocking) and a Kfa2 GTX 1050ti OC (which of course comes with a cooler, but it is overclocked already) do I really need them in a microATX system?
And what would be the cheapest solution if I needed some?
Thanks for your help

You should probably have at least one case fan, you can buy them for under $10

Yes, you need case fans. Preferably 2.
Pull in cool air from outside, blow hot air out the back.

Air and heat movement, not just blowing air around.

Cheap cases come without fans because they want you to purchase your own.

Any cpu cooler needs a source of fresh air to do its job.
You need at least something unless you have a low TDP processor and no graphics card.

Concentrate on bringing in fresh air; it will exit SOMEWHERE taking heat with it.
If your intake source is filtered, you will get a second benefit; cleaner parts.

One 120mm is ok if you do not have a strong graphics card.

Otherwise. a pair of 120/140mm intakes is appropriate for a gaming system.
