Hi,

I have just built this brand-new PC (specs below + Image links to build).

But I am arguing with a person weather or not I should install 2 front panel case fans for intake cooling. The other person (who is not computer experience) says you don't need 2 front fans on the case.

While I am thinking about when the person plays lots of high graphic games in the future with this build. The PC will be getting very hot inside, so my question to you is do I need front case fans for this build?

Current PC build link: https://prnt.sc/rg7hbb

Should I order these fans for the front case if needed 2 of them?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-F12-Silent-Ultra-Quiet-Configuration/dp/B0119T0D4I/ref=sr_1_3?tag=georiot-trd-21&keywords=120mm+pc+fan&qid=1584119789&sr=8-3&ascsubtag=tomshardware-8350890168698881000-21

Splitter for the power-supply Molex cable to connect the fans: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KabelDirekt-20-20-20cm-3-pin-2-pole-connector-fan-distribution/dp/B01LFCB3TS/ref=sr_1_3?tag=georiot-trd-21&keywords=4-pin+molex+3x3+pin&qid=1584117447&sr=8-3&ascsubtag=tomshardware-3417987975101894700-21

Pictures of the build if needed:

While this case is small enough and open enough in the front that you won't be starved for error, I usually recommend case intake fans.

I would not buy three-pin DC fans as they can not be controlled as easily as four-pin PWM fans.

I am not looking for controlled fans for client. So I should not give the case away without any case fans?

Hi,

I have just built my brand new PC. Specs here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cgs2jp

Error happening:

I installed Windows 10 activated onto the new system, this worked perfect! With no internet as I disabled this while installing.

Once Windows installed, I started the WI-FI, then installed Windows 10 updates on windows settings. After installing some of the updates this is when the PC crashed, kept trying to boot up but then went to windows troubleshooting tool. Then I had to do restore the PC back before when the PC did the updates. Then the PC worked!

After trying so many times, I decided to reinstall Windows from scratch, once installation was complete. I installed the GPU drivers from the disk which came with the GPU box, then after installing the screen went black and went off. Then the same issue happened it went back to the windows troubleshooting guide, then I did the system restore point back till when before I installed the drivers. Then the PC worked fine.

So the PC still crashes while attempting to install Windows updates and GPU drivers. This is all I have tried.

Then I decided to use the PC without installing updates and drivers, then after like 5mins the PC went off then back to the troubleshooting guide of Windows.

Some screen shots of error messages/fuzzy screen (not always the same error message but common ones:

Screen shot 1: https://prnt.sc/rgnqqw
Screen shot 2: https://prnt.sc/rgnr19
Screen shot 3: https://prnt.sc/rgnr7g
Screen shot 4: https://prnt.sc/rgnrc7


Thank you if you could help me.
