Questions for side panel fan and RAM

Claszureme · Nov 3, 2015

So I have a new pc arrived recently. So I bought a Cougar CFD120 fan for Intake and I also have 2 80mm fan in the side and in the back. I served them as my exhaust. I'll buy a 120mm fan ASAP to replace my 80mm fan in the back side. So I have this side fan, a 80mm one. Is it really necessary? Or just leave it? I don't have a graphics card. I'm just using the onboard graphics since it's an APU(AMD A10-7850K). If side panel fan is not necessary, is it ok to use 80mm exhaust fan in the back TEMPORARILY? Another question, I'm using this Kingston KVR16N11S8/4. Which is a 4GB 1600mhz RAM and using a ASUS A68HM-K MoBo. What brand will you recommend to me? I'm in a tight budget right now. How about 8GB G. Skill RipJaws X (4x2)2133Mhz ? Is this fine for my CPU?

Case:
You can use the 80mm fan as exhaust temporarily yes, be sure to watch your temps. You should leave the side panel on for better airflow, especially if it's got a fan attached to it.

RAM:

Ram speed does not matter, you will MAYBE see a 2-3 FPS gain from upgrading to 2133, I'd recommend 8GB of DDR3-1600, G.Skill Ripjaws will do you alright but you'll save money by getting 1600 MHz ram.

Well, I usually got 22C-33C.. yeah, it's attached already in my side panel.

Are there any fps gains for that RAM?

Claszureme :

You will see a minuscule FPS gain by upgrading to 2133 ram, not worth it for the price. 2-5 FPS maybe,

Okay2. So is it safe to overclock my cpu right now? Including it's onboard graphics?

For intel you wont see much of a gain going from 1600Mhz ram to anything over 2133Mhz. But you are using an AMD with APU the fast ram will really come into play here since the APU will use system ram.

I would look at these G.skill 2133Mhz cl9 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231476
