I'm planning to build a PC with a 9070 XT and a 9600X processor, using a Montech Air 903 Max case. This case comes with three 140mm intake fans and one 140mm exhaust fan. Since I primarily play games and often do so for long periods, I want to know if this fan setup will provide adequate cooling for my components. Thanks for your help!

Honestly, I think that's plenty of cooling. Graphics cards and CPUs today don't run as hot as they used to. As long as you have a good air cooler and a couple of fans for airflow, you should be set!
Yep, that setup should be more than enough cooling for your 9070 XT! It's a well-ventilated case with the fans you mentioned. Just make sure that your cables are tidy to help airflow.
I did some quick research, though, and found some sources saying it might not be sufficient. Maybe double-check reviews?
Consider looking for YouTube reviews on your case; they often test stock fans' cooling performance. That could really help you know if you might need to upgrade or if you're good to go.
You can never have too many fans! I mean, I even have fans for my fans! 😂 But seriously, check out the RPM of your fans; 1600 RPM is decent, so you should be fine unless you're overclocking.
Thanks for the reassurance, that's super helpful!
