best number of fans

[Nitsuj]

so im building a pc, ryzen 5 2600 and a gtx 570.. would 1 fan be enough? the cpu cooler is a wraith cooler that comes with the cpu.

 

thanks!

The more fans the better.. but the bigger question.. spending money on a new CPU with an 8 year old GPU?

ok, thats much better than a GTX570 lol, a card that was released back in 2010 or 2011 time frame. But regardless, on your initial question, the more fans the better. This will allow you to run them at lower RPMs and allow you to keep good air flow over your components and keep them supplied with fresh air instead of stagnant air that can happen with only 1 or 2 fans instead of like 4 or 5.

okay! thanks!

What case are you using? The most recommended setup is 2 in, 1 out. You can surely do with single fan exhaust, but just adding 1 intake at front is better already.

The included stock case fan should be enough but adding a front intake could help lower temps.
