Is It Okay to Use My Fishtank Case Without Intake Fans?
Asked by

I recently got the DarkFlash DY 470 case and realized it doesn't come with any intake fans. Right now, the only fan I have running is the AIO fan mounted on top. Is this setup okay for my components?
Answers
Overall, while your current setup can work, I recommend getting at least three intake fans. They’re cheap, and they'll protect your components from overheating and dust buildup. Plus, they look great!

Check your component temperatures, that's key. If they're good, you might be fine, but keep an eye on it. If possible, try running the system with the side panel off to see if it helps.

It’s really not ideal to run it this way. You should definitely consider getting more fans. A basic 3-pack from Thermalright is super affordable and works well!

Honestly, it might work for now, but your GPU could overheat without sufficient airflow. If you’re into aesthetics, definitely max out with RGB fans for both function and style!

It all depends on your hardware. My temps sit around 55-56°C, which is manageable for some setups, but I'd still suggest additional fans to improve airflow.
