(2) 80mm High RPM Sunon (Front Intakes)
(1) 120mm Sunon (Side Intake, blowing on CPU/Video Card)
(1) 120mm Exhaust (Top Blowhole)
(1) 80mm Sunon (Rear Exhaust)
(1) 80mm (Power Supply)
(1) 92mm (Power Supply)
(2) Delta 60mm (CPU, VOS32), Loudest fans I have ever used.

All in a Techru built acryllic case. My room sounds like a computer lab, but my 8.2 Klipsch setup can drown it out. :Q

Windogg, I don't know what do you use your computer for, but why do you decide to use Windows 2000 Data Center? How much did you spend for building your computer?

I don't know if I have the loudest, but it is probably close. I am more concerned with cooling anyway. My Athlon "Classic" 850@1045, 1.9v never goes above 40C at the core with Prime95 "torture test" running while playing UT...

That's awesome Insane3D! under 40C is more than enough. Do you have 2 PSU? Why do you have 2 fans there?

"Do you have 2 PSU? Why do you have 2 fans there?"

No, I only have one power supply, the Enermax 450W, it has two fans. It has a 92mm intake on the bottom, and the normal 80mm exhaust..it is a bonus because the lower fan is right over the CPU so it pulls heat away from it.

BTW - I take my temp with a thermal probe attached to a small LCD screen, and I have the probe right down in between the heat plate and the die. It's not a exact reading from the inside of the core, but about as accurate as possible for a extermal reading as you will get. It is more likely a few degrees celsius inside the core.

I have one computer with a water cooled CPU (thermosiphon loop hanging on the wall), but the power supply has a fan because I don't like to have water next to high voltage (the water loop has no joints inside the computer that could leak).

The most fans I have in any computer is 3 - CPU, video card, and P/S, with the P/S fan being oversized and slow (24V Panaflo fans will run at 12V).

I've got two extra case fans in here and they are unplugged. Now my Athlon is at 58C and I'm ready to cry for my mummy.:disgust:

Six fans total. Alpha PAL6035 on the CPU, one 80mm intake fan, and three 50mm exhaust fans (and of course the power supply fan).

It's pretty damn loud right now, but I don't know how some of you guys can handle ten or more fans! :confused:

Probably 4 on Antec 830sx.
Power supply / Cpu / 2 fans coming with the case.
I'm not sure My G450 has one.
By the way, eyor, could you tell me how can modify the voltage on fans?
Those 2 fans(I believe 80mm) are quite loud. I have tbird 1 gig, and without any oc it's pretty cool.

1 PS,
1 Video Card,
1 Taisol 60mm with the forged heatsink on the CPU,
2 more 60mm Taisols as an intake at the bottom of the case,
1 80mm Sunon as an exhaust on top of the case.

Even with SETI@home constantly running, the 1.1Ghz T-Bird OCd @ 1,3Ghz never exceeds 106 degrees.
