I'm using a Corsair Carbide 88R MATX chassis and currently only have 1 fan on the rear exhaust.
This chassis has the potential for 5 x 120mm fans: 2 front, 2 top, 1 rear.
I hear that the GPU, R9 390, can get quite warm. And given the cooling set up of the manufacturer(non reference), the heat will be spread out within the chassis.
With knowing the heat is brewing inside I'm scared that the one rear exhaust fan will not provide adequate cooling for the overall system.
Would extra fans make a strong difference?
I currently have a Corsair AF120 Quiet edition to keep noise low.
I don't want to cancel out the silence by adding more fans, but I am concerned about cooling.
I'm not overclocking the CPU as it's a locked Skylake, but have a Cryorig H7 anyway as I don't like the stock look.
And the motherboard only has one chassis fan header. That's not a problem as I can easily get a 4pin or 3pin splitter for more fans.
But yeah? Would extra fans provide great benefits? Or am I riding safe with one rear exhaust?
The Rig: i5 6500, Asus B150M, MSI R9 390, 550W PSU
Let me know, Wizards!
