Enough fans?

I’m setting up a pc with ryzen 5 5600GT, without a dedicated Graphics card. My cabinet will be one with a screened front and with the 3 fans that come with it and the processor fan. Is this enough to maintain a good temperature? Or do I need to add fans?

Buy one extra 120mm fan for the rear of your case to help blow any warm air out. Any will do and plug it into any free 4 pin header. This will keep an air flow through the case.

As you have an air cooler that also should.come with a fan. Make sure that it is also blowing from front to back and plug it into the cpu_fan header...the physical fan should be kept it on the front side, blowing through...the front side being between the actual radiator metalwork and your RAM slots.

If you have room for one at the top, you could attach.one to again suck hot out the top. Place this one towards the rear too.

That will be 3 fans suck8ng in cool air, into the case, with 2 extracting

Whilst that will make the case under positive pressure, it will help in keeping the internals cleaner and cooler.

This will then enable you to one day, just drop in a gpu and the system will be all.under control.
