HAF 912 airflow cooled questions.

[Ray_Rogers2109]

Since this has two 120mm fans already in it and since I want this to be airflow cooled, how many more fans should I get? NO Blue LED ricer crap please. How about a fan for the top slot thing which pulls hot air out?
I have a thread in the Desktop forum for what'll be in the case. Would be nice if there were how-to guides available.

Depends,if you have the CPU Heatsink which throws the hot air upwards then it would be nice.

What is your CPU HSF like?
If it is stock then the upward fan would be nice but anyways you shouldn't overclock on the stock HSF so not much heat would be generated to compel you to get another fan.So only get more fans if you plan on overclocking your memory and CPU.

Just stock. Since I'm not very interested on overclocking but more on keeping my case cool via airflow. I won't know until September when I get it "usable" and later on when I get the dedicated GPU and monitor it'll be "fully completed".
Any good programs including Piriform Speccy and CPU-Z which details what temperature the computers components are? First computer built and all.

EDIT: For PSU I have hec Zephyr Bronze Plus 750W. The case will also be well ventilated.

If you want you can get a fan for the top of the case and one or two for the front of the case, where the 5.25" bay is, you can just use some zip ties to mount them,
but if you are not overclocking and if your computer is not overheating then it would be useless.

Again I won't know until September anyway. Always best to research for all possibilities now matter how negligable (sp?). I'll wait until September and also when I get the GPU and monitor. More so I can actually see when the temperatures will be.

Forgot about your temps question.
YOu can use speedfan,coretemp,realtemp
for GPU MSI afterburner,evga precision,CPUid Hardware monitor.

And you can also use the softwares given by your Motherboard manufacturer.
But I prefer CPUid Hardware monitor - All in one.

Oh nice. Where I'll be placing the tower will be a good place too since the window is there and nothing shall be blocking any of the fans. I might be cheating too since I'll be running the temperature programs in the Fall/Winter and of course it'll be cooler. I actually don't mind the fan noise if there are any. To me it just means the computer is in fact working and am used to white noise.
One thing I love about the case is the small space at the top for personal belongings shall be a great spot to rest my XBOX 360 wired controller for Windows. What about my D-Link DGS-2208 Gigabit Switch? It's currently stationed on top of my current Compaq case. Oh well I figure I'll think of something in September.
