Hi,

Apologies if this is the wrong thread, but I'm planning on building two PCs for friends of mine. I am a bit concerned if the Stock Fans of the cases the two want are sufficient to provide enough airflow.

The two cases my friends have decided are the Fractal R4 and the NZXT 410 Phantom. For the first case, I am planning on adding two aftermarket fans on the top to assist with cooling (Not sure if that will provide sufficient airflow). In the latter case, I am not entirely sure if the stock fans with the NZXT 410 are sufficient enough to provide good airflow.

Planned specs for both computers:
CPU: i7 4770k + Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H
Memory: Corsair Vengence Pro 16GB DDR3-1600 (2x8)
HDD: Western Digital 1TB 3.5" 7200 RPM
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB 2.5"
PSU: Seasonic M12II 650W 80 PLUS Bronze
GPU: EVGA GTX 760 2GB
OS: Windows 8
 
With both cases, you shouldn't need any aftermarket fans. They are good quality cases with enough fans to provide enough airflow.
Unless you have horrible cable management skills, or it's really hot where you live, you shouldn't need extra fans.
