10 fans in a case?! WOW!
I usually hold on to older working fans as backups. When a fan goes out in a production rig, I'll grab from my "spare" pile and keep the machine producing. Otherwise, get rid of them.
If your temps aren't controlled by 10 fans, you need to look at how they are arraigned. lol

Psha.
18, +4x 80 mm that aren’t currently attached. The 18 are all (IIRC) 120mm Gentle Typhoons.
At what point do you have to stop and consider what you are doing? When you see ginormous cases with 56 fan slots and provisions for just 1 ATX system.. like what's the point?
An airflow case with say 6 spots, and room for 1 ATX system, and maybe use a little stronger of a fan? You would get better performance, and it would be quieter, even if using high performance fans.

Not me man. Noise is my mortal enemy at the moment. All current house projects include some sound deadening to improve the noise level throughout the house.
My computers are no exception except, they are currently loud. Two of them are in my workshop and are remotely accessed. Noise is not a problem if I can't hear it. My main rig is in bedroom #2 and requires the door to be shut at night. It will move into the basement when my remodle project is done there.

I've got a total of 16 fans in my case. I also have a stash of about 10 or maybe even a dozen new fans. Can never have enough good fans. Old fans my teen gets for school experiments

Thats cool the amount of fans you have in your rig. I am trying to sell them as my new gaming rig that I am building is going to have new fans.I've got a total of 16 fans in my case.

I don't bother selling my fans. Kind of a waste trying to sell when you can get new bundle fans for a few dollars more. I usually give mine away for just the cost of shipping to a brother in need.
