I got a case that has a front bottom fan and a bottom mounted power supply. If I don't get a case fan for the top rear, will my computer over heat? Thanks
 


Hi - Overheating could happen regardless, depending on other factors such as space inside the case, how well
you GPU cools itself, how effective the front fan you now have is. The PSU fan will intake hot air and exhaust is out the rear.

With all that said, if you case has the grates for a rear mounted exhaust fan, youshould get one. They are inexpensive, use very little power, some are very quiet (a little more $$). Depending on the size of your case you are prob looking at a 120mm or 140mm fan.

I'd recommend getting one.
