Do I need More Fans in Obsidian 800D

[Mike 399]

I am getting ready to start my first build. I will be using an Obsidian 800D case and a h100 cooler with an ASUS Sabertooth x79 motherboard and a EVGA GeForce GTX 780 GPU overclocked.

 

Should I get other fans over and above those that come with the case and the cooler?

Thats entirely up to you. The fans you have now should be sufficient to cool all your gear in a such a large case.

 

Just keep an eye on your temps and if you need to add fans later do so

Put your h100 in top with fan's as intake and you good to go.

I have a 800D , h100i ,asus R3E, EVGA GTX680SC, with my system I found out that I got the best temps by replacing the rear fan and bottom fan with a AF140 and also that rear fan is now as intake, the H100i is in the top and the fans push the air outside, but every rig is different.

I speak about 3c difference in the case temp, but it comes with a extra price.

The case fans are good, the AF140 are better, simply as that.

With this case you can only put 1 extra fan in it when you have a H100i in the top as push or pull, and that's at the bottom of the case next to the psu.

I would say go for the 750D , it's a tiny bit smaller , but also a lot cheaper and this has a airflow that's better as a 800D and more stuff that's better as the 800D.

But if you are like me, you would say , nice that 750D but the 800D looks better.

Yes the 800D is awesome, and the 750D +900D are also awesome, but still the 800D gives me that feel of; yep this is the one.

I would like to see that Corsair came with a 120mm fan bay for building in the 5.25 bays, it would sell like hell I think, because this can make a difference in cooling.
