Do I need a case fan?

Last response: in Components

Hi

I am running a system with:

Amd Phenom x4 965 3.4ghz
4GB DDR3 Ram
ASRock M3A785GMH/128M motherboard
ATI Radeon HD 4200 inbuilt graphics
Samsung 1TB HDD
500w Arctic PSU

I had this system built for me and was wondering how vital the case fan is? It's really loud so will be replacing it with a quieter one but is this 100% necessary to keep it cool?

Thanks

More about : case fan

having at least one case fan to help move the hot air out is always a good idea. you can always hook it up to cheap controller to help keep fan noise down.

antec tri-cool fans come with their own controllers as do some others
