Since folk rarely share the total Watts they plan to dissipate in a case, no one can know the answer. My view is that I like to start with a few then use a laser spot thermometer to see if the internal temp is out of control. Now if the build is headed to a hot server room we might cut a huge hole in the side panel to max out the air flow.

Hey guys,
I'm wondering what computer case fan to buy for my Realan E-W80 case. I was wondering if one product is better than another and I am open to recommendations. I'm not particularly fussed about noise, all I want is decent cooling.
Oh and I nearly forgot, if anyone has an idea of how much benefit the fans will be to cooling my components and whether or not it is worth buying ,that would be great
Thanks in advance
