Is the included fan acceptable in a small case, or will I likely need a low-profile fan?

I actually had mine in a pretty small, mini-itx build. It stayed reasonably cool during most day-to-day operations with the stock fan, between 35C and 50C--and that's without any other case fans. As long as you aren't doing anything too CPU-intensive, I'd consider the stock fan pretty adequate. Good luck with you build

Included fan is indeed low profile, you will have no issues. The thing is tiny

sure will great product. you can either get these small fans or get bigger ones. depends on your needs but they are good and quiet..

Seems like it would be okay. There's fan mounts on the front, rear, and sides. You can still get plenty of ventilation through the case.

Can't say for sure, I took a look at pictures of the case and there's some sort of circular pipe looking thing on the side panel that would probably interefere if it's there. The fan tower will be taller than a high-end graphics card, by about an inch or so. If there's anything on the side panel over the CPU area I'd say there's a good chance there will be interference.

I haven't seen a need to use any additional cooling on the mainboard itself and I've been using it for moderate gaming. Keep good airflow in the case and it'll be fine.

The case comes with 2 top mounted 120mm fans. That is all that you can fit without some serious modding.

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

No room for a fan from what I remember. Stick with a low TDP Haswell/Ivy Bridge CPU and it will be fine.

No LEDs on the included fans. The included fans are quiet enough. My CPU fan is louder than both of them. As for coolness, I have all the fan slots filled so... yes? I think its a decent case for the price. It's got enough space for most GPU's and plenty of space for cables.

Agree with Pbear's response. Love the fans -- I have installed three of them.

Sadly, no. The back of this case only allows for an 80mm fan. However, you can put a 120mm fan in the front and on the side. I had a bad experience when I bought this case, but if you can overlook the 80mm fan in the back and the cheap feel then go for it. Just remember, you pay for what you get. I'd recommend a Lian Li case for an ITX setup. Good Luck!

No too small get a 6in fan and filter you need Atleast 400cfm for that square footage

This mini tower works for me. It will be tight if you plan to install a separate video card. The cooling fans are quiet.

Right now I have 9 fans in it total not including the fans on like the video card and stuff. Only 2 of them are the quiet edition fans, the rest are either the fans that come with it or other corsair static pressure fans I have had extra. It's honestly pretty friggin quiet even like that. I would think you would be safe filling it completely up, especially with quiet edition fans. I mean you may hear some slight noise cause of so many fans but that is normal really. Like I said, I have those 9 fans in it right now and it is super quiet, those fans take up all but like 2 or 3 spots in the case. Now I'm not including the spots at the bottom where you take off the cent stuff, but even then I don't think it would be loud. I'm kind of a quiet freak myself and it doesn't bother me, just make sure your fans have rubber one them to help with vibration haha. It's an amazing case, definitely worth the money. It's quiet, huge, lots of space for cards and cable management. I would definitely get it :)

Don't know precisely but I can tell you that you will most likely need low-profile RAM. The fan extends out over the RAM slots on many boards.

Be careful with the power requirements for your Graphics Card. Many 1GB+ Graphic Cards need 400 watts or more. Also, you need low-profile cards. Standard are too tall. For the CPU, a standard fan that comes with a CPU should be fine. I have only used standard in them and no issues. You only get about 3.5 inches of height for that fan. You may want to confirm the measurements of your CPU fan against the width of this case (3.9 inches is listed in the seller's description).

Greetings,Both Saeed's and P. Rachels' answers are spot-on. An optional CPU cooling fan is included for applications that require additional cooling.Best regards,MITXPC
