Hey guys, just recently I put together a new PC and it should be at my House sometime soon. The case has 2 120mm Fans (one at the front, one at the back)

Over here in Australia it can get up to 50 Degrees Celsius, I was wondering in a room that is air conditioned down to about 30, 25ish how many more fans am i going to need to play it safe.

Also please reccommend some good fans that are 120mm

 

Thanks

Use all the fan provisions in your case if you can...

 

It gets up to 42C here at worst and I'm only using 2 case fans... The PC can handle it... Barely...

You should be okay if the room's below 30 degrees. (20-25 is pretty cool already)

What CPU cooler/GPU are you using,since that'll make more of a difference.

You'll be right. I got an overclocked i5 and an R9 280 with two 120mm fans and they do the job.

Is your case closed or have a mesh? If you're worried you can chuck another 80mm fan at the top if the case if there's provision for it.

Good 120mm fans would be Gentle Typhoon , Grand Flex and if you dont care about the noise Ultra Kaze and Delta fans would be for you.However if you are fancy and have lots of money Noctua

During the summer it can do 50ish, but most of the time it will be 35-40ish
