I'm going to build a custom-desktop from the parts I am going to buy. If I remember correctly, I think that the parts itself include fans that will cool off the system. (CPU has a heatsink + fan?, while graphics card has it's own dedicated fan.)
Is it necessary to purchase additional fans for the system or will it be fine, considering how I will not be overclocking the system?
Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz
RAM: Kingston DDR3 2GB
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD5770 1GB
Motherboard: ASUS M4A87TD or MSI 790X-G45
Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-550VXCN 550W
Case: NZXT M59
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Blue 500GB
1As answers are indicating, you may. You also may not. If you were to be more specific about what sort of components you're buying we could probably be more specific as to 'you probably will' or 'you probably won't'.
The only way to be sure is to test, though. – Shinrai – 2010-08-27T17:25:22.937
Thanks for your reply. :) I have added the specs of my upcoming build as you have suggested. How would I test to see if it is necessary for extra fans? – JFW – 2010-08-28T11:37:24.360
