Good air cooling (HELP)

Hi, is there any methods to make sure that every thing is cool in the PC case ? (software, Fan speed etc). How do you guys make sure that every think is cooling well or not enought? My PC case is a NZXT Phantom 530.

 

As in monitoring tools and controller you can get something like a NZXT Grid+ or a Corsair Commander Mini to control fans via custom fan curves or use your motherboard to monitor and control fan speeds.

You'll be fine as long as you have a CPU cooler with fans, a GPU cooler from a trusted company, and at least one case fan in an open case like the Phantom 530

I agree with this all the way, I do recommend an aftermarket cooler if you are willing to buy one. I love Speedfan, you can use that yo control your fans also

Ok, but how can I see if the GPU and the CPU are cool enought ?

MSI Afterburner shows your GPU and Each CPU core's temeratures and loads. It also lets you OC your GPU.

I use MSI afterburner to monitor my temps, but if you mean fan setup I use 3 Corsair SP 120 mm fans pushing air out of the case near my GPU's and 4 NZXT 120mm silent series fans pulling air in. ( All on a fan controller and My case is a H440 that is sort of simmilar in design to your case)
