i saw another post about this.. only with 80 mm so i thought i too would ask.... would my two 120 mm fans be enough to cool my system... here's what you'd be looking at

abit kn8 sli mobo
amd 3700+
nvidia 7800gt

i'm hoping thats enough.. one fan for intake one for the exhaust... and another thing i'm asking... is that enough to slightly overclock????

and do you suggest i add another fan??? cuz there's a slot above the 120 mm fan for a 80mm fan

notice that upside down motherboard -_- ... and how far the psu is from the mobo.... its a pain.... my first psu failed to reach....
 
Most premium cases have 2 120mm fans, and are a good set-up.

I would stick a quiet 80mm fan to have some cool air blowing onto the GPU - which will be taken out by the PSU.
 
I am only using 2 120mm fans and I am running a little hotter then I would like, however my case is not very well ventilated. =0(
 
vantec makes some good quieter fans. otherwise, masscool is a great value for the amount of air most of their fans push. some are kinda loud, but always reliable
 
Get some panaflo fans, they are one of the most reliable fans you can buy. They have great airflow to noise ratios.
