Case Fans

[travers232]

Hi guys,

I'm building a new desktop after losing my Gaming Laptop a few months ago.

I'm going with a fractal focus 2 and Gigabyte aorus b650 elite ax. The case comes with 2 140mm front fans and I was considering adding 2 additional 140mm to the top and one 120mm to the rear. All the additional fans are gonna be Be Quiet Silent Wings 4s. Is this setup gonna be viable?

I'd just keep the current fan setup of the case (it's already pretty good) and save the money of the extra fans for better components. After your pc is built you can still see if it's running as you want. Adding additional fans probably won't do much for temperatures. Maybe just one extra rear fan is worth it to keep positive pressure, but then I'd still get an Arctic P12 Max as it's value and performance is incredible.

Do we get to know what CPU, GPU, and CPU cooling you are planning to use ?

 

Unless you were just asking whether or not you can install that much extra fans on that case.

If so, then just try with 2 intake and 1 exhaust at the back first.

Didn't know about that new sexy Arctic fan (I have 4 Ps in my case). Thanks

(It's a pity I don't need any, really. I could get them for 10.- or less)

The regular p12 works really well.  It’s not gonna make a real difference.  The white P12 PST is like $9 on amazon, that’ll look good.  Put it on the rear and let the top just be passive exhaust.  You don’t want too much exhaust pull, otherwise you’ll have negative pressure and a lot of dust will get in.

These are dead silent and move a ton of air.

Hi, I was actually asking the latter. But nonetheless, I'm getting the Ryzen 7 7700x, actually got all the main components I needed then realized the case did not include a rear fan . I'll be getting a Gigabyte Gaming OC 3060ti later. I need to save a bit more.

Unless you plan to buy the fan in a pack (which usually make each fan cheaper than buying singles) , Just buy 1 and use it as back exhaust, then check temp.

Most likely it will be enough.

 

And I'll just put this in case you need the info :
Arctic P12 PWM PST is a cheap but good fan. Even more hella cheap for it's performance if you buy it in a pack of 5.

Thank you for your guidance. Unfortunately I pulled the trigger on a 120mm silent wings 4. I will definitely look into the artic next time.

 

I appreciate the help you guys have been awesome.

Was just giving you cheaper options in case you need one.
