Hi all

Need some assistance on a new build.

I have got the following:

Fractal design r4 case
Intel 4770k
Gigabyte z87x-ud3h mobo
Corsair h60
2 x samsung evo ssd
16gig ccosair vengeance ram

Whats your view on this cooling setup:
1) 2 fractal design std case fans at the front
2) corair h60 with fan pulling cold air into case
3) 2 exhaust fans at top

Is rhis sufficient or can I just use the h60 to exhaust air out of case and not use any top fans?

Can anyone recommentld ok price tagged fans?

Thanks

Bob

Until you add a powerful graphics card.

Can I get away with not using any top fans and using the h60 to push hot air out of case?

Thanks

I suspect the H60 fan would not be up to the task of pulling air through back grill, radiator and than pushing it out the top. But I could be wrong. Run it and see what your temps are. The stock fans are pushing air into case too so that helps move the H60 heat out the top too. Could put one in the bottom instead of the front. Keep an eye on your motherboard temps.
