How many fans should I put for that Pc?

SenSher0 · Jun 6, 2014

Hey
I am going to make this Pc
Memory : Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 1.65V

Power supply : XFX ProSeries Core Edition 550W Full Wired PSU 80 Plus Bronze

Motherboard :Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P Socket AM3+ Motherboard

Processor : AMD FX-8350

Video card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB GDDR5 Windforce 3X

Hard disk : Seagate ST1000DX001 1TB 7200 SATA 6Gb/s Desktop Solid State Hybrid

Case : Cooler Master K281
So how many fans should I put in that case ?
Thanks

That is really up to you, the two fans that are included should be "sufficient" however adding more will lower you temps possibly up to a few degrees but it will be louder in return, its a reasonably large enough case that a 760/8350 shouldnt be too much heat for two fans

Hi SenSher0
your Cooler Master K281 case supports 3 fans
It comes with 1x Front: 120mm red LED fan & 1x Rear: 120mm black fan x 1
and has the option for another 120mm side fan

If you are happy with the airflow produced by the two installed fans then don't replace them , if
not you could go with higher CFM fans to push more air throughout your case.
I would add a third optional intake fan on your side panel to help provide airflow for your 760 and also this
will give you positive airflow and help reduce dust intake into your case
If you wish to replace the fans i can recommend some high airflow fans

So I can only add one fan side
will it be a fan that takes hot air
or give the cool air to the video cards ?
And what about the sound with a 3 fans ?

vortical · Jun 6, 2014

blow cool air in, and that really depends on the fans themselves/if they are being controlled etc.

mickypheonix · Jun 6, 2014

seeing that the third fan is optional , you can choose a quiet fan if that is what you want , i would make the side fan an intake fan to draw cool air in from outside the case especially if the single front fans airflow is partially blocked by the HDD cages

Can you give me links or name to them ?
Quiet fans and have a good air flow

mickypheonix · Jun 6, 2014

sure ,
where are you from ? will try to give you links in your country if i can ,
also do you want led or non led fans or a link for both

mickypheonix · Jun 6, 2014

all the noctua fans are sold out on that site and not a great variety of other fans,
are there any other pc parts outlets you can deal with ? or i will make the best choice i can from what is available there ?

SenSher0 · Jun 6, 2014

Make the best choice from this site
and another good one even if it wasn't on the site I will search for it

mickypheonix · Jun 6, 2014

ok will do
there is like only 25 fans to choose from and the best ones are sold out but i will do my best

SenSher0 · Jun 6, 2014

Thank you

mickypheonix · Jun 6, 2014

the fans available there are no better than your case fans already installed ,
keep the two you have in your case and buy a third for your side panel
