2x120s in the front, 1x140 in the back, 1x120 in the PSU, 1x200 in the side. Couple of Noctuas on the CPU heatsink, can't be bothered to remember what my case fans are. I don't need fans to be cool, I AM COOL

total 2: mini gaming rig has the 80mm cpu fan, the fan built into the 750TI and the PSU fan, that's all.
total 4: main gaming rig 2 on the radiator 120mm x 38mm yate loon low speeds and two 120mm nzxt white fans, all 4 are on a fan controller run under 1000rpm
total 4: server has 1x 80mm vantec low speed intake with two resistors in the power for it quiet but moves air over my hdd's, the exhaust is a vantec thermoflow temp controlled 92mm fan quiet. cpu cooler has a 92mm cooler master fan ~900rpm and the hot swap bay has a 120mm rosewill fan 600rpm.
total 2: router has 1 40mm noctua fan with a voltage drop resistor, and the 80mm psu fan, which doesnt even run ever its a gold unit.

Dang. I thought I had the most fans, lol. Even with 14 fans my case is relatively silent. I remember the days using the Vantec Tornados

my test bench has two 120mm yate loon highs. one the hs and one blowing across the mb. those two actually make more noise than my whole rig combined.

Are those worse than the ippc-3000s? Those suckers are pretty loud at full bore.

The 3000's aren't even in the same league as a Tornado. Tornado is far worse. Almost 60db.

I remember my dads old 80mm delta rig.
I also remember him putting a pencil in the spinning blades as a lesson, and made me watch as it literally ate the pencil. He did not use that fan again, but the damage was done.
I have been terrified of fans ever since...

fractal design R5, with
2 x NF-A14 ULN intake fans running in the mid-700 rpms
2 x NF-A15 PWM fans on the heatsink
0 fans on the rear space -- I cut out the "grill" so I do not need an exhaust fan.
I had a zillion fans to choose from, and I tried several after measuring many with my SPL meter. The most recent review I did of 140mm fans on this site is here. My latest review of 120mm PWM fans is here. My latest review of 120mm non-PWM fans is here.
