My first build. Finally up and running tonight! An i7 system to be used mostly for music and movies, but I wanna have room for the heavy stuff.
So I've got it all in an Antec Sonata Elite, which is built to be quiet, but the thing is fairly noisy. I believe the culprit is the second fan, the "slot blower." Would this be an essential component? There's already one fan, a rather quiet one, right above it - plus the psu fan, cpu fan and gpu fan. The manual doesn't let on as to whether it's a necessity or a luxery, as I know the case is marketed primarily to hardcore gamers.
Thanks!
