How fucked am I /g/? I ordered a Corsair Carbide 100r Silent, and didn't know that it only has 2 case fans, with only room for 3. I have a gtx 970 and a fx 8350, should I be worried about airflow? I haven't been able to test the temperatures yet but I'm kinda worried.

I have a GTX 970 and a 4790K on a 200r and it gets hot as hell.

I have a huge air cooler though, maybe a water cooler could improve the airflow a bit.

A water cooler won't increase airflow in anyway, but it could remove the need for as much I guess

The GTX 970 should be no problem, there are even 1 fan versions for ITX. AMD processors however should be used exclusively in fridges.

I have a 200R, GTX 970 and 4460. I use the built in fans plus a 120mm on the front. it can get quite hot sometimes, I then turn on a coolermaster jetflow I put on the top. It's really fucking loud,but the airflow is amazing. Now, idk how the 100r is, I'd recommend investing in some powerful fans, but again, I'm not really an expert in that domain.

Just make sure you have a good flow and it should be fine. Visualize the direction cool and warm will be going and plan out your fan setup. You probably won't be able to over clock as high as you wanted but I think you can still make it work.

You should have done your research and spent a little bit more on a decent case with more room. Three fans on a mid-ATX is a fucking joke.

There are dozens of cases in the ~$70 range that are better, including numerous Corsair offerings. OP managed to pick the worst case for the money...

Quoted By:

I have the 330R and have no airflow issues .
2x140mm at the front
2x120mm up top as part of my H100i
One fan a the rear. Ether 80 or 120mm

You should have spent the dollar on a better case .
