Hello everyone! Recently i have assembled my first pc on my own.

Since i live in a hellish weather country (Brazil) i think i might be having some cooling problems. If i'm not, i'm afraid i can have them in the future.

I got a Thermaltake V4 Black Edition chassis and it comes with ONE exhaust fan. On the inside, i have the CPU cooler; 2 fans within the GPU (Gigabyte R9 270) and that's it.

Also, i spent a few hours reading about cooling and chassis architecture for the air flow and i noticed that mine have a few slots for new fans: 2 on the TOP, 1 on the BOTTOM and 1 in the FRONT.

I'm thinking about getting 3 Cougar 120mm fans (http://www.cougargaming.com/products/fans/cfd_blue_led_fan.html ) to put 1 top, 1 bottom and 1 in the front.

My question is: With that stock fan am i good to go or i'm lacking refrigeration?

If i'm lacking, those extra 3 fans will do the job?

Thanks a lot and sorry if i posted it on the wrong section!

Cheers!

At minimum I'd say 1 intake and 1 exhaust, so two case fans (we're not counting fans on the gpu/cpu) I wouldn't recommend using only one case fan. All three wouldn't hurt but you can always buy one, or maybe two at first and add fans as you see fit after seeing how the temps are.

Yep, i'm thinking about buying these 3 today and be prepared for the rest of the summer (late march, early april). I'm concerned about the heat and only one exhaust fan.

Thank's for the advice!
