Hello, can someone explain computer cooling to me.
I am in the process of getting some new pc parts for a new build. Check out my other thread in the forum right below this one if you want a list of specs.
Anyway, I know I need fan cooling...but I don't know how much, and how fany fans of what type I should have. I was planning on spending $20 for a pair of 120mm fans. Is that enough?
The system I intend to build is only an $850 budget system but I plan to be overclocking to a mediocre degree perhaps when playing games or using video editing software. Which won't be all the time.
Right now, Im planning on getting these items:

http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=10450AC7040
Is that ok? Is that enough? How loud will it be? Do i only need one 120mm fan and and a couple 80mm fans? Why do people go for 2 80mm fans instead of 1-2 120mm fans?
Thanks for any help.
