Would this be enough cooling for crossfire r9 270x's?

claydster6 · Sep 8, 2014

There are only 2 120mm mounts on the case, (one in the back as an intake and one on the bottom which has no fan at the moment) There are also some hole things on the top so air can come out, i am also using a stock cooler for the cpu, if it's not enough cooling, what could i do to make it better?

The back needs to be an exhaust not intake.

Also, do you have the cards already?

claydster6 · Sep 8, 2014

I do not have the cards already, im using an r7 240 (>.>) but want to upgrade to r9 270x, and later on crossfire 2 of them, and you're right, the fan is an exhaust not an intake my bad

Just get the one and don;t bother planning for CF. They are only mid-range cards and in the 2-3 years when you want an upgrade it will make sense to just get a new card. Don't worry about CF for now?

What CPU and motherboard do you have? PSU as well?

How long do you think one card will last? and Im using an amd fx 8320 (not overclocked or anything, not going to do that), and a gigabyte 970a ( http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4642#ov )

It will play AAA games at high/ MAYBE some ultra but not in many games right now, and then in 2 years or so you will be down to medium settings or so in AAA games.

alright, thats good to know, i just would like to be able to play something, the r7 240 can't really do anything, should i go with a 550 watt power supply for a higher one to future proof?

550w is plenty. Stick with the brands I listed.

claydster6 · Sep 8, 2014

alright, thanks for your help, one last question, do you think i'll need a fan on the bottom or no?

tiny voices · Sep 8, 2014

No you shouldn't. Do you not have a front fan mount? What case do you have?

claydster6 · Sep 8, 2014

i have the thermaltake urban s21 case http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001978 and there is no front mount

tiny voices · Sep 8, 2014

Yes it does. It clearly states right on that page it comes with a front intake fan already installed.
