3 fans enough?

[myspeakersaremuffled]

Hey so I'm building my first computer and I had a question about fans.

My GPU has 3 fans, CPU cooler has 2, and my case has 3 in the front. Are those 3 in the front in the right place or good? I didn't change anything they came like that, case is 570x, just wondering if that'll cool if properly. I know that hot air rises so I'm not sure if my fans are doing anything to help?

I would have two at the front and then one at the back.

Just spend some time moving them around until you find the best place for them. Ideally you want neutral pressure when the intake is the same as the exhaust.

case fans are optional

What are your temps? Those are what matter. If you are happy with temps, there's no need to do anything. 2 front in, 1 rear out would also be my go-to, but You might be just fine without exhaust.

 

Also, forget "hot air rising" jabber when talking air inside PC case. It just doesn't matter.
