numnumnum Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hi All, I am building my first build, and I'm not sure about my fan setup. Do I need to add more fans or put them in special spots? My Case is a Corsair 550D. Even just a link to something like "fan setup theory" would help. Maybe I can just stick with stock? I'm Using the following i7 3700k (hopefully overclocked) Corsair h60 cooler GTX650 video card Gigabyte Z77 UDH5 motherboard 2 ssds for win7 and OSX hackintosh 2 HDDs for storage for each Corsair 650TX power supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such I am absolutely no expert but the one thing I have learned from this whole process is to not waste time trying to fix problems before you have them. Get your PC built and if you are unlucky enough to have a cooling problem then you might find this article helpful. I know I did: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/02/10/the-big-cooling-investigation/1 Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
