Hello,

This is what I'm building.
Motherboard : Asus H110M-A LGA1151 Micro ATX, CPU : Core 15 6600k, RAM 8GB G.Skill 8GB DDR3, STORAGE : 240GB SanDisk SDSSDA-240G-G25.
I am planning to custom-build a rack mount case from a metal fabrication service. So it will safely be stuck inside the corner of my room. My friend told me that rack mounts can cause heat issues. Will I have to use cooling fans for air intake? If so, please suggest me a good one.

Thanks.
 
Rack mount case is only going to have an overheating issue if you fail to design in adequate cooling for the case or the rack itself (for example if you stuff the rack in a small enclosed closet and there is a ton of gear on the rack)
 
Okay, Is it better to use a triple cooling fan for the case in that case? Will it become too noisy?
