Hey everybody, I'm looking into buying a new computer case and I was wondering how many fans of what size I might need to cool a high end graphics card? Any case recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for the answers.

I normally built them with 1 at the front to blow over the hard drives, and 1 at the back to suck out the CPU warm air, by that combination, you are creating a flow to ease the heat.
On powerful cards, I would go for a 12cm fan as the air blow can reach the card, drawing excess heat away too.

You want to have 1 intake fan in the front . 2 exhaust fans in the back and 1 fan in the side for your cpu and motherboard will help. Anymore fans such as ontop of the case will divert the airflow and is a waste of money. Remember you want the air to easily flow in one side and out the other.

Buy one big fan (cheap one from a hardware store) and remove the side plate of the case, aim fan into computer. Attach fan whenever you are playing

that's usually severe-high quality to characteristic greater followers. you could run into overheating complications if your room gets over 75degrees and has undesirable air flow. in case you run inventory without overclocking you could nicely be superb by beginning the side of the case to ventilate the computing device. in any different case i might spend the greater desirable $15 or so and get the essential 120mm or 80mm followers.

As much as it can hold, maybe 8.
