Hello! I have just recieved all of my parts for my new build! I do have a question about cooling on this rig and if it will be an issue? Here is what I have purchased!
-Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
-SAPPHIRE 100314-3L Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
-ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
- G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
- Acer S201HLbd Black 20" 5ms LED-Backlight LCD monitorSeagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500413AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
-Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM
- Xigmatek ASGARD II B/B CPC-T45UC-U01 Black / Black 0.8 mm SECC / Aluminum and Aluminum Mesh Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
-Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
-Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I52400
The casr that I got has an option for 4 different 120mm fans. 1 in the rear, two on the side, and one in the front. The one in the front is the issue. A 120mm wil not fit nor will any 25mm width fan. I was thinking about puting in a 80mm thin fan with a filter, but I dont think it will breath well. What are my options? Is it okay not to have a fan up front? and have only esaust fans?
