Advice re: System Cooling

robvondoom

Hi guys, I'm putting together my first build and was interested in getting some feedback regarding what cooling systems I should consider, if any. At the moment I'm of a mind to just throw an extra couple of fans in on top of the 3 that come as standard on my case and rely on the built in CPU cooler.

Relevant specs are listed below and the PC will be used for gaming, streaming and general entertainment purposes, likely operating for 8 - 12 hour periods.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Galaxy Evo Gaming Case
Intel i7 4790K
Asus z97 Sabertooth Mk1
Corsair RM750 PSU
16GB Kingston HyperX Fury Black DDR3 1600Mhz (PC3-12800) DIMM
KFA2 GTX770, 2GB, 1110MHz Core, 1163MHz Boost

Would noise be an issue with that many fans?

If the case comes with 3 fans, you're fine.

Really, in terms of actual functionality, all that's really needed is one exhaust fan to make sure nothing overheats and hot air is being moved out.

Moving past that, you're more getting into regulating temps to your own specification rather than addressing any actual issues of overheating.

Stock cooler is fine also. With 3 fans already installed, you've nothing to worry about.

My PC runs 24/7 regularly and I have one 120mm exhaust and one 140mm intake, with stock intel cooler and spec's are per signature.

If your not overclocking the I7 leave it as stock cooling but surely your going to want to push the I7 a small bit..
