Is it okay to have no fan/s in the upper area of my PC Case?

[Mikko]

I bought a new PC case for 50 Dollars (If i USD), I saw that the PC case had 3 fans infront then 1 fan behind, but I noticed, there is no fan above. Is that okay? The brand is Trendsonic Eclipse EC09a

The more fans the better.

it will be ok
as long as air hot is leaving the top/rear vents

Cooling is okay, but not the better. As long as it is under 80C, you will be fine.

[Mikko]

Any good cheap fans to buy?

[Mikko]

And how to check my PC temperature?

It depends on the setup. If you have negative airflow then dust will be sucked into the machine even though there are dust filters.

there was is a cm 4pk of decent airflow fans for around $10
good airflow very quiet, even at full speed (dc voltage control, not pwm)
looks like they are $15-20 now

or amazon $18+s/h

if you want led fans to match the case, you will need to see what it uses and buy a similar or compatable fan kit

As has been tested extensively by now by virtually every hardware site, that's not true.

More fans means air currents fighting each other, creating vortices, drag and hot spots. Less fans, when properly placed, create a smoother airflow that gets more heat out of your case faster.

zipties and fans ftw

I wouldn't recommend a coolermaster fan since it is louder.

cm makes lots of different fans
those are the quiet case fans, nothing fancy just cheap and good

19db is very quiet for a case fan
1200rpm is slow, but it has decent airflow

That is what some fan claimed when I bought it, but it is still noise.

As long as cpu and gpu never thermal throttling then you are fine.

I usually set aside all case fans included with a case when that system is for myself, and outfit the entire case with better fans, like BeQuiet and configure all fans to be able to be manually adjusted if need be.

I got kind of carried away there, sorry. You're absolutely correct. It's always good to know what you're talking about. Thanks for straightening me out.

Probably will be ok with the default, best check temps once you get it all up and running. My rig currently has 2 x 120mm front intake, 1 x bottom intake, 1 x rear exhaust in a Q300L (also no top exhaust fans...)

HWiNFO64[www.hwinfo.com], just let it run in the background as you play your most demanding game, it will record the low / high / average temps to review.

I usually get Arctic F12 value pack[www.amazon.com] $22 (5 @ $4.50 each) or the Arctic F12 PWM value pack[www.amazon.com] $27 (5 @ $5.50 each)
