Will one exhaust fan be enough?

Tomorrow me and a friend will upgrade my current system with a new cpu, mobo, psu and a kraken x62 cooler.

My question is if only one corsair ll 120mm fan will be enough for exhaust in the top rear of my corsair carbide 275r. I will put the radiator in the front as intake and then probably have the 2 fans in the top as intake as well (if exhaust wouldn't work better?)

Fans in front as intake is best, instead of the top. I also like to have top mounted fans as exhaust to prevent dust build-up.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

oh sorry, id say you set the two fans in your aio up as intake at the front of the case and have one exhaust at the back, if you want to go all out then add an exhaust at the top if your case allows it.

I'd suggest installing the top fans as exhaust. Otherwise lots of warm air would get trapped, your gpu temps would be much higher. Run the front fans as fast as you are comfortable with, the rear fan around 1000-1300 rpm and the top fans around 1000 rpm.

Would be fine as is. When and if you add a card, it may increase temps of that.

Long time ago Luke from LTT was doing some video about that, best scenario was two intakes in front, two exhausting (one rear one top back) adding more fans (top front) didn’t make any difference in temps.

I have only had top intake in 1 scenario and that's OCing on Schrute in my sig to keep that FX and those VRMs cooler during OCing - I leave it as top intake for this reason but my OCD hates it (should be exhaust)

That’s the one which I was talking about 

 

 

In my system I’m using two 140mm intake fans in front, and two 120mm exhaust (rear, rear top)
