How many fans?

[yh125d]

How many fans are in your comp. I mean all fans, cpu, case, psu, chipset, everything. I have 9. 5 case fans, a cpu fan, a chipset fan, vid card fan, and 1 psu fan

 

[iscsidude]

9 - 120mm (slow turning) case/radiator fans in a U2-UFO case. Controlled by bigNG.
1 - PSU fan on a Seasonic Energy+ S12.

Everything else is watercooled on an EVGA 680i MB.

I think there was a thread like this awhile ago... Oh well my case has changed now!

I have 8 fans right now. 3 case fans, 1 CPU fan, 1 GPU, 2 in one PSU, and 1 in the other PSU. Currently running tandem PSUs until my replacement PSU comes (my 9 month old Antec died). Once I have just 1 PSU again I'll have 6 fans since the new PSU has just one 120mm fan in it.

 

[oogabooga]

1 80mm in my PSU
1 92mm for CPU
1 cooling set on my graphics card
2 120mm for front/back intake/exhaust

and If I could.. I'd remove fans still 😉

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Current... Um, 1 (laptop). Old machine, now in storage: 8x92mm intake, 2x120mm exhaust, 2x120mm on CPUs, 2x92mm on hd enclosures, 1 on video card.Oh, and 2--one in each PSUs. So, that's 17 total.

I used to use this monster case, a Supermicro SC-750A fully loaded with (high-speed) fans - 12 total. The damn thing sounded like a vacuum cleaner when I fired it up.

4x80mm - side intake drive bay cooling
3x80mm - front intake
1x92mm - CPU side intake
1x80mm - rear upper exhaust
1x40mm - rear CPU exhaust
1x? - PS fan
1x80mm - Heat sink fan

Edit: forgot one, added details

 

[trOver]

2 120's
2 80's
1 120 cpu fan
1 120 psu fan
1 gpu fan

7 fans in all... the main case fans are on a controller, so overall its very quiet.

 

[Bob Anderson]

One rear 120mm case fan on low

One each for gpu, cpu, chipset

One in the PSU, and a second one in the PSU which has never come on because my rig never gets hot.

I have 5.

1x120 PSU fan
1x92 VF900 - undervolted to 5v
1x120 Scythe Infinity - up to 1200RPM - silent.

With everything dialed down, I can barely hear it and I sit RIGHT next to it - it's on top of my desk.

 

[ShockwaveVT]

6 including CPU fan, the other 5 are 120's

 

[Jibboom]

1x80mm case fan
1x120mm PSU fan
1x120mm CPU fan (tuniq tower)

Total of 7 fans, the computer is very quiet doing everything but gaming where the fan on the X1950XTX can get quite loud.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

4x80mm side fans
1x80mm HS fan
1x120mm rear fan

And this is in a Aspire X-Qpack.

6 fans

 

[Passingout101]

now, who cares about the amount of fans. isnt it more important for them to all be working together?? you can have 10 fans but if they are all working against one another its pointless and bad for cpu!!

so, the better question I think should be.

what is the best way to arrange the many fanes one has??

 

[2Dead]

9 fans
4x80mm case fans on a fan controller all the way down (still blows)
1x120mm exhasut fan on a psu fan controler
1x120mm psu fan
1x92mm cpu fan
1 chipset fan
1 vga fan (Nv Silencer Rev. 3)

 

[Icepick]

2 92mm in front of case
1 120mm in rear of case
1 on 7950GT
1 in Corsair power supply
1 on Scythe Ninja

= 6 fans total and the PC is still near silent when not gaming.
