Do I need more fans?
Go to solution
Solved by Sam3000,
I would definitely recommend more as you would usually want at least the same number of intake fans as outtake fans, but you can use software to monitor whether high temps are slowing you down:
AIDA64 Extreme's stress test will show you when your CPU throttles (even when not running the stress test, so you can just use it to monitor on a hot day)
MSI Afterburner can show you when your GPU clock speed slows down (i.e. throttling occurs) so you can keep track of that too (you don't need an MSI card either)
Fans are fairly cheap as PC components go though, so it might be less hassle to grab a few and not have to worry.
