two built-in and a house fan when I take off the case so my shitty X1600XT doesn't catch on fire.

I converted the CPC fan from the Deathsauer and hooked it up to the back of my PC. I'm just that awesome.

9- Front of case, back of case, side of case, one on my 7950 GT KO, one on my nForce 680i SLI heatsink, 3 on my 680W PSU, and one on my (P4 2.8Ghz) processor (the worst part of my PC, upgrading to a C2Quad Q6600 by the end of the year). Oh and 2 heat spreading coolers on 2 of my 4 1Gig sticks of DDR2 667Mhz RAM.

I can't count that many, being Pro at the internet has gained myself the respect of millions of Internt users, and my :awesome: PC has their respect as well, only a tool of supreme win and epic :awesome: could handle my :awesome:ness.


Also, Two 120's, Two 90's, and a 250cm. A 120 PSU and whatever the 8800 uses and a 92 on the CPU.

gpu, cpu, a side, a front and back. just stock standard boring fans.

5x 80mm on the case itself, 1x 120mm on the heatsink, 1x 80mm(?) on the VGA...

Five. Two on the side, two on the back, and one for the CPU (heatsink).

e: Wait, my GPU has one too- Six.

My old shuttle that I dont use much anymore has a 120 on the heatpipes cooling the CPU and whatever's on the 9800 AIW. My notebook, who knows. I dont feel like opening it up. I do know that the memory has passive cooling. Very bad passive cooling at that.

Emmzee

I don't use a fan. I have an insulated air vent that goes all the way from my computer to the Swiss Alps. The ice-cold air cools my computer phenomenally.

The new case alone I will be ordering for my new PC will have 8 fans, 4x 120mm (on the side), 2x 120mm on the back, 1x 120mm on the front, and 1x 80mm on the top.

after I add the CPU fan, 2x graphics card fans, plus the 2 fans on the motherboard, my new computer will have 13 fans total.

Two. One at the front, and one at the back. The one at the front sucks in air and the one at the back blows it out.

I'm not your god damn fan.

Oh, and my computer has 6:
3 built in the case :awesome:, 1 GPU fan, 1 CPU fan, and 1 PSU fan.

It's all about liquid nitrogen cooling at my work. At home I have 9.

Cortexian
August 19th, 2007, 07:23 PM
6 fans total:
2x 80mm side-by-side on the front.
1x 120mm on the back (it's the internal water cooling fan for the CPU).
1x 80mm on the side.
1x 120mm on the PSU.
1x w/e the 8800 GTX uses.

legionaire45

2 120 mm fans in front on my radiator, one 120mm in the way back, one 80 pulling air over my HDDs, one 120 in my PSU, another 80 in my PSU, and I'm assuming a 60 or something on my 7600 GT. It's a stock cooler. One 40mm on my northbridge.

The 2 120mm fans on my rad and the one in the back are going to be replaced with my 140 CFM beasts when I get a chance. I forgot what the CFM on the 80mm bringing air over my HDDs is, but it'll be replaced with something much much better then the crappy thermaltake fans my case came with.

Four fans, soon to be five.

Dr Nick

2. One in the front, and one in the back.

And the fan I use to get to sleep when I'm playing R6Vegas.

I thought we were only counting what was in your case?

Well, if we're counting PSU as well...5.

InnerGoat
August 20th, 2007, 05:13 PM
Everyone else is :eyesroll:.I didn't. It doesn't really matter though. I just counted fans that you can get to without having to take the whole rig apart. :p

SnaFuBAR
August 20th, 2007, 05:57 PM
the question is how many fans does your PC have, rather than how many your CASE has.

Snaver
August 20th, 2007, 06:42 PM
Seems rather low compared to most people here :o

1xCPU
1xGPU
1xCase
PSU?

I almost got that case... like, I was in line with it, and went back and got another.

counting the psu, i have 11.

Zalman CPU fan
PSU Fan
2 x Case Fan
GPU Fan

So 5 in total.

And bloody hell Jahrain, that things going to be loud as fuck.

Terin
August 20th, 2007, 09:55 PM
On my desktop computer, one on the motherboard, one of the graphics card, and one in the PSU.

jahrain
August 20th, 2007, 10:20 PM
Oh wait, counting my power supply unity, which has 2 more fans, I will have a total of 15 fans in my PC. Wow...

Now that, I highly doubt. :eyesroll:
I don't, phase changing. Or water cooling without a fan, just a big ass radiator.

Or possibly that fucked up weird method of cooling your PC via Vegetable Oil or Mineral Oil:

Freelancer, thats the most disgusting and wasteful way to cool your pc..

Also, it can probably stick up some components and whatnot. Good luck replacing things. I've heard of alternatives to energy but this is just ridiculous.

Did I say it was a competent solution? No.

Anyhow, I may try this on an old computer, mineral oil though, I don't no funky smells.

Bastinka

The oil will eventually seep through and get into the plugs, causing them to not receive any of whatever data/energy is being transmitted. I don't know about the oils conductivity but I'm sure its not healthy, a good thing to try if your bored.

Yea, I mean a REALLY old PC, I have an old Intel Pentium 1 computer sitting around downstairs...

120mm for PSU, 120mm, in the front, 120mm in the back, 60mm on Videocard, 92mm on CPU, 50mm on NB, 40mm on South Bridge.

So roughly 7 fans :D

Like Im so totally awesome. Cos like, I use words like totally and like, like.

Seriously, I think I have 1 fan or something in my PC. It's very old.

The oil will eventually seep through and get into the plugs capacitors, causing them to not receive any of whatever data/energy is being transmitted causing them to pop. I don't know about the oils conductivity (Mineral and Vegetable oil are non conductive, hence why they don't short out your system) but I'm sure its not healthy, a good thing to try if your bored.
ftfy.

Using Mineral or Vegetable Oil as a coolant is a dumb idea. Period.
I IS AGREE =D

O alright then
3x 120mm case fans
PSU fan
GPU fan
CPU fan

so uh, six.

I also forgot to mention I made a cooling base for my laptop out of a cardboard box and 3 fans from old computers.

I know its hideously big and ugly, and its put together with tape and chewing gum, but this manages to cool my laptop down about an average of 15C cooler. It plugs into an AC adapter, and that nob on the back controls the fan speed. I built it with what ever I could find laying around in my room, and had no real design plan to it as I just made it up as I go along. The fans were placed to push air up into air vents in various areas underneath the laptop.

jahrain
August 22nd, 2007, 10:49 PM
It actually works better than one I purchased for $44 which was only able to cool my laptop down up to about 5 or 6C cooler. With that base I build, I can even overclock my GPU and CPU and it still stays cool.

ExAm
August 23rd, 2007, 03:00 AM
1x120mm rear case fan
1x120mm (?) CPU cooler fan
1x~55mm GPU fan
