How Many Fans do you Run?

fps justin · January 23rd, 2006

I thought this might be an interesting thread and poll. My case is an antec sonata II with a case fan on top. I run 8 fans including hte psu, cpu cooler and video card cooler. I use mostly 120mm fans from panaflo(best company) sunon and antec.

:D

My Antec TX1050B Server Case has slots for 8 fans in total. I expanded the two side panel fans to accomade 120mm instead of 80mm.

eight fans in total...

This includes:
2 psu fans that don't run unless temperatures exceed a certain threshold.

Two 120mm side panel fans: blows on cpu and vidcard

Two 80mm intake: One on my raptor and maxotr

One 120mm exhaust

One 92mm panaflo on si-97

thats about it. What a monster.

Only counting case fans, I have one 120mm exhaust, one 80mm intake and a top 120mm; so I voted 3. Then there is the typical PSU, CPU, and GPU fans...
I like it as quiet as possible. I think computers should be like small children...

well i counted my psu and stuff, but without all that, i got 2 exhaust and 2 intake plus an internal 120 fan that just moves stale air around. lol

Sounds like a nice setup justin!

Hes got a sonata 2. hahaha. So if you need an opinion you can ask him.

If i don't count psu or any of that and only case fans then i've got 5.

3x120mm case fans, 1x120 PSU fan and 1x120 CPU fan. All running at or about 1200rpm.

I'm using a Silverstone TJ-o6....decent case, very nicely built, poor airflow for everything except the memory and the CPU.
I have a 120mm and 80mm intake as well as a 120 exhaust and the PSUs included 120mm exhaust.

I'm using two 120mm case fans in my Lian-Li PC777B, in which most people consider an eyesore (I dig the weird stuff).
