1 exhaust enough for a PC

DeadDabster

I made a PC 2 months ago for myself and I use a corsair 110R case, after I bought my parts I realized that the the case have only 1 exhaust fan. Is it enough or do I need to put intake fans?

 

My Build 

 

i5-10400f (with stock cooler) 

Asus Rog strix B460-H gaming motherboard

MSI GTX 1650 xentus XS

Corsair Vengence RGB 16GB Ram (8*2)

Lexar NM610 250GB SSD

WD 1TB HDD

Corsair CV450 PSU

Corsiar 110R casing

you usually want an airflow inside... so intake in the front or bottom, exhaust on top or back. 

 

just one ventifluff doing all the heavy stuff may be, depending on your system specs, a little overwhelmed...

 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

If you have hot hardware inside, it could benefit from more airflow.
So it depends on what you've got inside...

 

Which CPU?
Which graphics card?

 

My build:

CPU

Intel Core i7 9700 8x 3.00GHz So.1151

 

CPU cooler

be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim

 

Motherboard

MSI B360-A PRO Intel B360 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX

 

RAM

16GB (4x 4096MB) HyperX FURY black DDR4-2666

 

GPU

8GB Gigabyte GeForce RTX2070 WindForce 2X 3xDP/HDMI

 

SSD

500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280

 

HDD

4000GB WD Red WD40EFRX Intellipower 64MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s

 

Power Supply

bequiet! Straight Power 750W Platinum

 

Case

Heavily depends on your specs, your room climate, if you overclock or not, your existing cooling solution for every components, and your average load. But most of the time exhaust is enough in cooling, but negative pressure will make your PC cleaning miserable.

That's max. 65 W for the CPU and max. 75 W for the graphics card.

So for a maximum of 140 W, 1 rear exhaust fan should be fine.

 

To be sure, you can check your temperatures.

 

Core Temp is good to show your CPU's temperatures and GPU-Z is good to show your graphics card's temperatures.

As long as your CPU is < 90 °C and you GPU is < 80 °C, it shoulf be fine.

If they get too hot, they will decrease their clock frequency to prevent overheating, so that would hurt your performance.

In GPU-Z you shoudl be able to see your graphics card's max. temperature, at which it starts clocking down.

use HWInfo or other tool to check temps, if they're not too high, you're probably fine.

 

If they look a bit toast?  Add an intake.
