i forgot to buy fans for the dokker case, so it only has a rear 120 mm fan. can i live with only this one or it will cause lots of heat? what do you recommend.

unless you plan on using multiple monitors i'd save money and not bother getting the flex version of the 6950, because its only advantage is being able to support three monitors without an active adapter

Thats all compatible etc, are you going to be getting another two monitors to make use of the FLEX cards abilities?

eliaskassis · 16 Sep 2011 at 17:20

the flex has vapor x cooling so better thermal, but i heard that the heat it exaust from the vga will spread in the case and cause high temperature to other components. i plan to get 2 other monitors in a couple of months.i also want to know having only one rear fan, will make the case hot, or it wont affect a lot?

thank u

Add another at the front for a cold air intake.

Scythe Gentle typhoons are good.

If you can why not pay the extra £20 and get the intel 2500K.

i dont plan to overclock so i stay with non k. and this case can handle 7 fans so i can put two more.but i mean if i don't will i have a problem. and one more thing i dont know how to install the fan. is there a guide somewhere

stulid · 16 Sep 2011 at 17:47

Well fitting fans to cases usually involves four screws and thats it, you need to see if you have to remove the front of the case to gain access to where the fan sits or if you can add it from the inside?

Then connect the fan power cable directly to the PSU if its a molex type connector or if its a standard fan header with 3pins, plug it into the motherboard at one of its SYS_FAN headers.

thank u a lot.

eliaskassis · 16 Sep 2011 at 18:19

guys in the mean time i get the fans maybe in a month wil the hardware damage from heat?

you can use a PCI fan to exhaust from the video card if it dumps into the case.
