Hey guys, I have just bought all of my new computer components and started wondering if i has sufficient fans in my system. I bought the fractal define r5 which come with two fans, I havent bought any others. So would I need to buy some more? I also have a gtx 970 and a noctua NH-D14 cooler for the cpu.
 
Solution
Most likely you are just fine with your setup. One fan as intake one as outtake on the R5 creates decent flow for most systems. Plus the D14 will create a nice flow over your motherboard VRMs as well.

I'd stay with that, and measure temps. If you find you're running warm you can always add more later.
