someone on ocuk made a comment about my fans in my case so i thought id share what i replied with
Cupra do you think you could fit anymore fans in there to help cooling?

Is 13 enough! :D

there is another pa 120.2 with 4 on u cant see, plus 4 92mm fans cooling my hdd,s blow the psu (behind the mobo tray) there is also the psu fan itself
ill start from the front

5x orange bladed thermaltake fans (came with the case)
1x 92mm antec fan
1x 80mm fan blowing along gpu's
1x 92mm antec fan blowing @ watercooled nb (and the pll voltage regulator)
1x mosfet cooling fan that asus supply with the mobo
2x 120mm fans blowing direct at the gpu's fromnt he sides
2x fans on the gpu's
4x 92mm antec fans cooling hdd's
1x 140mm fan on psu
8x 120mm fans cooling rads
1x 92mm fan that fell over that was blowing air out the case below the psu


but without all that matey how would i get this?

You want to be careful or you might cause a local hurricane! :help:

...surely 20 fans would be a little loud/ annoying and maybe phase would be a better option :biggrin:

haha, that would be funny. Ive got 16 100cfm fans for the custom case, but there all on a mcubed t-balancer, so i will only run them upto full when benchmarking and such :)
Its gonna be 3 quad rads possible 4...
And phase, as you may see i was looking into it, but after spending many days contemplating power consumption i just cant justify it.

I've got a 568cfm (don't quote me on that figure tho) 230v fan somewhere, now that is noisy!

but realistically phase is just like having another pc switched on power consumption wise. and alot of people have a few pc's in their house!

exactly, and i know it will overclock further, but it wont be that noticable and for 210w its not worth it IMO. Maybe if i was a pro bencher, but im not :(
