HAF 312 Plus case fans ??

DEVIL W0LF · 23 Jan 2011 at 23:24

Hey guys just a quick question on extra cooling

So i have the HAF 912 Plus case, the components going in are

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
MSI P67A-GD65 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
G.Skill RipJawX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Cooler Master V6GT CPU Cooler
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 SuperClocked 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply

Now the case comes with a front 200 mm fan and a rear 120 mm fan
but you can put in Optional side and top fans.
My question is would you guys recommend i put any of these Optional fans in ?

and if so would i need to get a bigger PSU ??

Thanks again guys

Edit : typo in thread title

No m8 you didnt read it properly or look at the pics the case has a top 200mm fan as well the optional part is changing it to 2 120mm fans if you wish too.

Sorry , i made a typo in the thread title

I have the HAF 912 plus case that has no top fans.

Just wanted to know if i need to put more fans in or not ??
This is my first build and i don't want anything to overheat

In one of the pics it looks like theres one at the top

Definitely no fan in top or side.

But do i need to put any in , other than the front and rear that come with the case ?

I would put something in the top for a additional exhaust fan

Ok thanks for the reply , think i will put a 200 mm fan in there

coolermaster 200mm fans are £13 odd as i sold mine and changed em to blue so i would get one more for the top and an akasa apache black for the side possibly.

if you smoke or dont want dust you can check my plan out in this thread

the v6 works in the same way i had planned i think which was the hve a rear apache black and the cpu cooler both blowing all the systems hot ait in that hot air tunnel at the rear.

hopefully it works but its going to be 3 weeks before i order :cool:
