silentknight329 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Just wondering how many fans people use.. this poll does not include your cpu, graphics card, psu fan just to let you know 1st poll i dont know if it works so lets pray btw i have 4 Quote
K1u Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Most people should be 5+ at least 3-4+ on case, then cpu, then gpu, northbridge, etc... so pretty much i think its gonna come out most 5+ Quote
Sparda Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I have 4 12CM case fans, plus a CPU fan, then another on the graphics card: 6 I has: Older version of this for CPU (The design is the same, it just has a diffrent name I can't remeber). Four of these (they are the shit when it comes to air cooling, they come in 8CM as well). What ever the fan is on the stock cooler for a EVGA 9800. Quote
silentknight329 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 ... i did say NOT including cpu psu and whatnot... Quote
Sparda Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 ... i did say NOT including cpu psu and whatnot... I did select "4" in the vote ;) The others are 'usfull' information. Quote
silentknight329 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 oh ok it was me getting confused my bad my bad Quote
Deags Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 the mainframe has 0 but the harddrive(commonly called the CPU) which the mainframe sits on has one I think. Quote
markhimself Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 im watercooled. i have 2 12cm at the back for the radiator and one 12cm at the front for the harddrives Quote
lazaruswws Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I got 1 in my laptop and a ghetto homemade stand with 2 underneath which are powered by my old desktop which also has 3 fans. Quote
deleted Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I dont have any fans or water cooling, I live in Scotland, I set the computer outside and let the natrual coldness keep my machine cool. Seriously, I have 4, in the usual places Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I have three oldschool fans in my case. Ilya, Kainchick and DarkSenay. They can get kinda loud in there so every now and then I just kick my case and they shut up. Quote
SomeoneE1se Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 my main computer has one(1) it's my tz my tower however has 3 on case 1 psu 1 gfx card 1 2nd gfx card 1 psu and another one if you count the small one I have blowing across my rack Quote
tim.vangehugten Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 just one fan on my motherboard and guess what, it just works fine. Quote
bluephoenix Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Just wondering how many fans people use.. this poll does not include your cpu, graphics card, psu fan just to let you know 1st poll i dont know if it works so lets pray I only have one fan but put 0 on the pole. Because that one fan is attached to a heat sink that covers most of the motherboard. So it would be a cpu/gpu/every-other-chip fan and you said to exclude those. By the way most laptops fall into this category (one fan cools all) :) Quote
nicatronTg Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I have one water cooled system, and one fanless cooling case system. My last fan pc got fried. Quote
natural_orange Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 w00t laptop = 1 fan Your average cheapo computer probably has 2, one in PSU, one for CPU. Most cheapo computers typically don't have a case fan, or GPU fan. The slightly above cheapo computer has mabey one case fan. If you built the computer youself, it should be something like 1 for PSU 1 for GPU 1 for CPU 1 for Case Front (for Cooling HDD's) 1 for Case Back 1 for Case Side or Top (optional) 1 for Second GPU (optional) 5 to 7 is typical for a custom built computer.

Keiyentai Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I have three oldschool fans in my case. Ilya, Kainchick and DarkSenay. They can get kinda loud in there so every now and then I just kick my case and they shut up. hahaha thats epic. Currently I have 2 large fans in my desktop not including the GPU/CPU/PSU got more so adding them soon. Quote
snakey Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 do they make ultra quite fans my computer sounds like a supercharger constantly Quote
Spikey Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I only go off of fans now I tryed water cooling but was hooked up right and the pipe pop and anifrezze went all over my PCs inside and on my monitor. that PC case It still smalls like anifrezze. on a side note . I modded a 250watt to work on a AMD Athlon board I super charged it with 6 FANs with 1 switch per fan it sounds like a Jet engine Quote
moonlit Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Actually, I voted 1 fan, I completely forgot about the really big, obvious front-mounted 120mm fan glowing blue at me from the front of my case. The other is at the rear, also a blue LED fan, but a slightly smaller 80mm. I do have space in the side panel for an extra fan but the current setup seems to be working just great. Quote
sintax Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 lets see: One water Cooled, one with maybe 3 fans, and two with 2 fans Working on a system now thats gonna need a lot more than 3 fans :) Quote
