Overkill?

PcNoooob

Hey everyone

 

I was just wondering 

 

Is a 3x120mm intake and 1x120mm exhaust overkill for the following build?

 

CPU - A10 7860K (black edition)

RAM - 8gb ddr3 1600mhz

HDD - 1TB toshiba 7200rpm 

No GPU

 

Will install a GTX1050TI 4GB down the line 

 

Thanks in advance

not really but if you can replace the stock cooler they are crap. my 7850K did fine with only one intake and no exhaust

6600K - ASUS Z270i Gaming ITX - 8GB Corsair  Vengence LPX DDR4 2400MHZ - EVGA 1070SC - 120GB HyperX Savage SSD - CX430 PSU:|

3 intake is a tad over the top, 2 intake 1 exhaust would be fine

Yeah I found out the hard way. Got all 4 fans connected to the mobo and 80% of the time the front 2 intakes are not even spinning because mobo temp is below 40 degrees

Everythings that is more than 2 intake and 1 exhaust is useless, especially for that system
