Okay so i have no idea what fan config i should use

my build currently consists of

 

  • AMD 5600X using stock WRAITH STEALTH
  • RTX 3050 8GB
  • GIGABYTE A520I AC ITX
  • 24GB DDR4
  • 1 TB 970 EVO PLUS
  • 500W SILVERSTONE 80+GOLD

and of course the case. COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX NR200

that case has a mesh side panel, a 96mm fan in back, and a 120mm fan, 

so would i need mroe fans, or those 2 already enough

cause the case theoretically could fit 5 more 120mm fans

2 bottom 2 front 2 top and the 96mm in the back

That Wraith Stealth is going to struggle no matter what. It will scream and it might throttle. Basically, it's a crappy cooler for anything but Ryzen 3-level stuff. I ran one on my R5 5600 (non-X) for a couple weeks, and it was terrible. Look into one of the smaller Thermalright coolers as a replacement. The NR200 should be fine with the RTX 3050, but check your height clearances just in case, remembering that you need 15mm or so for the power connector on a 3050.

 

I think you're good with the fans you have. The 5600X and 3050 aren't going to dump ungodly amounts of heat into your case.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
