Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my PC using a Lian Li O11 Mini case, paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (or maybe a 9700X) and an RTX 5070 Ti. The cooler I'm considering is the Peerless Assassin, and I'm wondering about the fan situation. I notice the case comes with 3 fans included, but I want to know if that's enough or if I should add more, especially since my PC will be sitting on the floor and it's going to get pretty warm in Europe during the summer. What do you recommend for the best cooling setup?

Three fans should be sufficient for your build, especially with a good CPU cooler like Peerless Assassin. However, if you're going to have your PC on the floor, consider getting a more powerful version of the RTX 5070 Ti, as cheaper SFF models might run a bit hot—sometimes reaching above 80°C during intense gaming in hot weather.
There's really no set number of fans you need as long as you have at least a few for airflow. Having extra fans can help decrease the workload on your CPU and GPU coolers, which might make them quieter, but remember, it’s also about finding the right balance to keep noise levels down. Plus, more fans can give your setup a cooler aesthetic!
