Hey,

- Fan in PSU & 80mm case fan as standard
- Intel CPU Cooler (inc. 80mm fan)
- Fan on GPU (in your case GT430)

Obviously the air flow in small cases is not as good as a standard desktop case but considering their size they do have plenty of fans to keep the system cool. From experience, the Mini-PCs are no hotter/louder than a normal Home/Office Desktop PC.
