my recommendation is to at least use 3 fans (2 intake 1 exhaust), preferably as many fans as the case would hold

If I should add, which fan config would be best in your opinion?

With an R5 3600 there's no need to go bigger than a Hyper 212 Black for overclocking (safe voltage is 1.35V if you ask me), but of course I wont reject big blocks of heatsink if they dont cost much more

Which of them? the PSU is a fire hazard so I hope you didnt buy it

Hi. I'm currently planning to build a pc myself - never done before. I've ordered most of the main components. The case is the CoolerMaster Silencio S600TG and it comes with two 120mm fans, one front and one rear. I'm wondering if i should add any additional fans to the case. I wont be doing any overclocking to the cpu but slight oc to the gpu. If I should add, which fan config would be best in your opinion? The main objective is to keep components at a reasonable temperature and noise levels at kinda normal - not hoping silence but not too loud.

Here's the component list -

Ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler

Asrock B450m Steel Legend

Gigabyte RTX 2060 Gaming OC

Hyper-X Fury 3200MHz 16GB

XPG SX8200 256GB

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

CoolerMaster Silencio S600TG

Thermaltake Litepower 500W

 

Cheers

add as much fans as you can until you think the pc will hover. BTW any cheap fans that has high static pressure? im already tempted to remove the foam filter in my case since it actually sucks air pretty bad. nothing overheats as of yet but the case gets pretty warm especially near the gpu.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

 

CURRENT PC SPECS    

CPU             : Ryzen 5 3600 (Formerly Ryzen 3 1200)

GPU             : ASUS RX 580 Dual OC (Formerly ASUS GTX 1060 but it got corroded for some odd reasons)

GPU COOOER      : ID Cooling Frostflow 120 VGA (Stock cooler overheats even when undervolted :()

MOBO            : MSI B350m Bazooka

MEMORY          : Team Group Elite TUF DDR4 3600 Mhz CL 16
STORAGE         : Seagate Baracudda 1TB and Kingston SSD
PSU             : Thermaltake Lite power 550W (Gonna change soon as i dont trust this)
CASE            : Rakk Anyag Frost
CPU COOLER      : ID-Cooling SE 207
CASE FANS       : Mix of ID cooling fans, Corsair fans and Rakk Ounos (planned change to ID Cooling)
DISPLAY         : SpectrePro XTNS24 144hz Curved VA panel
MOUSE           : Logitech G603 Lightspeed
KEYBOARD        : Rakk Lam Ang

HEADSET         : Plantronics RIG 500HD

Kingston Hyper X Stinger

 

and a whole lot of LED everywhere(behind the monitor, behind the desk, behind the shelf of the PC mount and inside the case)

Ah, dammit. Too late. I only read like 5 reviews and it’s a popular psu in my country. We don’t have seasonic here. Corsair and cooler master are the only other options and they’re at least twice the price for the same wattage. I’m intending to swap out and upgrade some parts next year along with my old monitor and other peripherals. I’ll add this to the list. Thanks for your input

Even Corsair and Cooler Master arent always good, but Thermaltake isnt always bad
