How many case fans do you run?

[rogerdugans]

4- 120mm (2 rad/intake 2 exhaust)
1- 92mm (psu)
1- 80mm (psu)
1- 60mm (exhaust for spot under pci cards by water pump)
1- 40mm (northbridge)
1- funky fan on GF4 video card

All (except video card) are either on 7volts or variable voltage so that I can tune noise/performance.

Case: a little old Compaq server case...
It's only about 10" wide 2' deep and about 30" tall or so

Most of my other machines have just 5 or 6 I think....

Got one in then the psu out on a cheesy midtower. So two.

That doesn't cool close to enough but mostly because of location, but what do you need the obscene numbers some of you guys are running for? A few well placed fans should do the trick and if that doesn't do it for you use a heat pipe.

 

[Barnstormer]

1 80mm intake and 3 80mm exhaust. I need another intake, maybe 92mm. OK temps tho, 46c with F@H

Midtower Case:

(1) Delta 80mm fan for my SK-7
(1) 120mm Sunon on my case side cover for my vid card
(1) 80mm Sunon on my case side cover for my HSF
(2) 60mm thermaltake for blow hole on case top cover
(2) 80mm Sunon case intake and exhaust fans
(2) fans - Antec TruePower PSU

That's 9 fans.

 

[masterchief]

alright! for the 3rd time i have a full tower with 9 fans total

thanks RedDeathDrinker!

 

[thalzaar24]

I run 5 in my chieftech.

2 intakes at bottom
2 exhaust at back
1 window intake

also have a 80mm on cpu and the PS, but those don't count

 

[pik4chu]

somewhere around 9-12 fans once I finish up with new case..

currently has
4 80mm intakes.
2 120mm intakes
2 80mm exhaust
1 120mm exhaust
1 80mm processor

speeds will be turned down and more fans added when new case is done

 

[masterchief]

hehe... most people have 9+ fans... that's a lot.

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

That's crazy. There's no way I'll have more than 5 fans. Even that's too much.

 

[masterchief]

i wonder if anyone really has no fans or if its phase-change or something...

 

[Tekime]

Well, I voted 5 since I was only counting case fans. There are a few more though:

1 x 50CFM/92mm Front Intake
1 x 50CFM/92mm Side Intake
2 x 30CFM/80mm Rear Exhaust
1 x 40CFM/92mm Top Exhaust
1 x unknown/40mm on Copper Iceberq
1 x 28CFM/60mm on JAC313C (v/c)
1 x 75CFM/80mm on SK-7 (CPU)

I also have a 131CFM YS-Tech I am installing, plus a whole pile of 92 & 80's I might be adding.

 

[dynamodaimyo]

1 intake
2 exhaust
1 heatsink fan
1 vid card fan
2 psu fans

7 fans total

 

[nealric]

I run my stuff water chilled, but that dosent mean I cant have fun fans

Ive got 1 on vid card
1 on the hdds
1 120mil I stuck in the front because I won it, have nothing else to do with it, and because it has pretty lights

[OLMI]

Voted before i read that you should include all fans, not just case fans.. So i only voted for 1.

1 Case (enermax 120 at lowest)
2 external on Radiators (enermax 120 at lowest)
2 in PSU (Antec 80 and 92)
1 on GPU (soon to be replaced by Zalman Heatpipe)

budy of mine does, he uses one of those Via Cyrix 800Mhz ones. all ompact and stuff.. however it is open case. only fan is in PSU and its very small, just to keep it from over heating. very quiet

 

[The VTech]

5 case fans, not counting the CPU or the 2 on the PSU

 

[CrystalMethod]

I as well voted for just the case cans. But here's the list of them all.
