How many fans do I really need for my new build? I'll be using a CM Hyper 212 pro heatsink. My sapphire 7950 has 2 fans. So how many 120mm fans do I need? thanks

That comes with two 120mm fans in the front, and one 120mm in the back. That will likely be enough, depending on what kind of ambient temps you have (here in Tokyo it gets pretty hot so I have more). Other factors, if you are SLI/crossfire, many HDDs etc.

I'd start with the stock 3 fans, and see if you need more.
