Forgot about the fans

[Alex53]

I put in an order for a bunch of components and for a Lian Li O11D EVO case. Only after placing the order, I realised this case comes with no fans!

Now, the mobo/cp/memory bundle I chose comes with a "EK Water Blocks EK-AIO 240 D-RGB All In One CPU Water Cooler".

What extra fans should I add to the order?

I care not at all whether they are RGB. I am more concerned with how I am going to have to configure them and now many I will need. I'm a bit lost on that front. I'd be happy to go with the Lian Li pack of 3 for £45 if all I need to get is 3, but if I am looking at 10 fans (which seems ridiculous to me, but I keep seeing the case set up like that in photos), then I will probably not spend another £150 on this.

If you want matching, the EK ones are Vardar Evo D-RGB.

I personally have gone for the 10 x Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB for my Evo - really like the fans and can be used with a standard 3 pin ARG-B hub - Switched from Arctic Bionix (dont forget the Evo also needs to use an A-RGB header for the front strip)

Where are you planning to mount the all in one cooler?

Based on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAeoVEY5JRk I think I'll go with a normal horizontal setup for the GPU (4070Ti), and the AiO cooler mounted at the top. So that leaves me with maybe 3 fans intake on the side panel, and 1 exhaust at the back.

Should be ok right?
