Help with cooling

Epic_Nex

I want to buy this setup and i want to know if the fans included with the case would be enough to cool the system or would I need to put more. The case already comes with two 120mm fans for front and rear.  It can contain up to 1 more fan in the front, 2 on top, 1 on bottom, and 2 on the side.  If they need more fans please suggest where to position them and if intake or outtake.

First of all you don't have an aftermarket cooler SO using more fans will not make any difference.Use one of the included fans on the side panel to blow cold air on the stock cpu cooler and one at the top for exhaust

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

Indeed.Because it won't make any difference

He does still have a toasty GPU.

 

I second Epic's suggestion, a 4 pack of Cougar Turbines is a good choice. Especially if you can find them on sale.

I would do 1 intake on the bottom, 2 in the front as intake, the the 4th in the rear as exhaust.

Depends on the floor, carpet would make it unlikely, but you'll also have issues with the PSU intake too. If hardwood or something solid, then you'll be good. The 200R doesn't sit as high as would be ideal, but there is enough room.
