How many fans do you have?

[Floyd]

Simple question is how many fans are you running in your PC?
Count EVERY fan PSU, chipset. If its a fan and its on your PC count them up!
Im interested to see what numbers we come up with...

[Shoggy]

Five

3 x for radiator
1 x for PSU
1 x for system (runs almost never, only for EXTREME hot days)

[Floyd]

Personally I have 7
PSU (140mm)
Rad Fans (3 120mm)
Rear fan (1 120mm)
Mosfets (2 60mm)

[Greedseed]

woops i putted 8 but i have 10 XD

1CPU
1PSU
3Front 120 mm
2back 120 mm
1top 200 mm
1side 120 mm
1HDD cage 120mm

edit : oh wrong again i have 12

1 on GPU 1
and 1 on GPU 2 XD

[Floyd]

Its ok greedseed, im sure others will miscount also.
Most people dont realize how many fans they have until they count them up. Im all for removing fans to lessen the noise.

yeah replasing it all by watercooling ???

i wont it twoooooooo :D:D:D

only i cant aford it :(:(:(

YET :guitarhero:

[Icemaz]

3x 120mm for front intake
1x 140mm upper exhaust
4x 80mm on the side window that replaced a 240mm stock fan that didnt move any air
4x 60mm beside the PCI slots just cause they fit there haha
4x 120mm on my lower rad
2x 120mm on my upper rad
1x 135mm(?) on my PSU
1x 60mm on my ram (will be gone once my tubing/parts arrive for it)

so: 16 total now.

I had 28 before when I was only using air haha.

[slpdLoad]

9 currently

5 on rads (will go to 6 soon) 120mm
2 for chipset 90mm
1 in PSU 140mm
1 on fan controller 80mm

I hope to remove the 2 on the chipset with a fullcover waterblock, and the fan controller will likely get better sinks an pull the fan from it.

I prefer as much silence as possible.

[Floyd]

Just save up some money.
Water cooling my GPUs was one of the best things I did to quiet down my PC.
I cant imagine how some people think the stock Nvidia fans at 100% isnt loud. I thought mine were loud at 50%!

[mattgmann]

10 for radiators
1 for hdd's
3 exhaust fans

14 total

[Greedseed]

haha nooo dude
if i pay like 500€ for a watercooling system
my girlfreand willl killlllllllllllll me man xD

and i still need a new monitor and a new keybord and a new mouse and a new CPU cooler and so much more xD

i olready spend 1080 on the Hardware xD

[Floyd]

Ive talked to a few people in person about this before and most people dont really know how many fans they have.
I start out with fans everywhere then I do loaded testing removing fans one by one reducing noise and power usage. I just removed 2 120mm fans the other day and my temps didnt change one bit. Im going to try and get rid of the Asus chipset fans because they are a bit loud.

[funkysnair]

well im changing my front 3 fans too noctua fans and im sure there more quiet than the standard antec ones!

if they dont change the temps ill change all fans too noctua, i find the gpu fan too be the loudest

Total 23.

andyc

[Floyd]

Wow so it looks like most people on here are using 10+ fans in their rigs.

[Septim]

yes, not because we have watercooling, that we forget the other parts of our rig needs airflow too...

[Floyd]

True and with some people running push pull on their rads it really makes the numbers climb.
IMO the less fans you have the better (temps permitting)

[Tiny]

18 fans total
4 on each 120.2 rad (12 fans)
1 for HDD cage
1 for back panel
1 on PSU
1 on video card
2 blowing air in from the ac
------------------------------
After update there will be 35 fans. It's all about the performance for me. It can sound like a jet if it stays cool at 4.6GHz
6 on each of 3 120.3 rads (18 fans) rads going on the right side panel.
4 on each of 3 120.2 rads (12 fans)
1 for HDD cage
1 for back panel
1 on PSU
2 blowing air in from the ac

[AmuseMe]

I have nine. Five Sharkoon 2000RPM on the tripple and double res, two 92mm Sharkoons on the back of the TJ07, one 120mm Sharkoon on the HDDs, and the PSU.

[MrCheekyBugger]

9 fans here too.
6x Gentle Typhoon on radiators
2x Noctua for chipset and HDD's
PSU

[jacobroufa]

4 at the moment. Hopefully soon down to 3.

1 - PSU
1 - GPU
2 - Radiator

[Cutless009]

5, and nothing water cooled, wtf are you people doing with all these fans?! o.0 (he says staring at the 11 ultra kazes waiting to go into a single build)

[Morae]

44?

2x 92mm Zalmans
3x 120mm Cooler Masters
2x 120mm Noctuas
6x 120mm Yates (Red)
2x 120mm Yates (Green)
4x 120mm NZXT
2x 120mm Scythe S-Flex
1x 120mm Akasa Apache
4x 140mm Acutakes
4x 140mm AABs
4x 140mm Silentiums
4x 140mm Yates
2x 140mm Cooler Masters
1x 140mm NZXT

No idea what's in the PSUs. 4 PSUs (using 3). Atleast one 135mm Sanyo Denki and one 140mm Yate. Also a bunch of no-name fans leftover in old machines that I wouldn't ever consider using these days.

Edit: I'm hoping to replace all those cheap 120mm Yates with Tacens Spiros.

[Cutless009]

I thought this was about how many we had in our main rig? Fuck me if you want the count of total fans I own... shit let me go to my garage..... eh nm. There's... shelves of them :)

[scottc19]

To count the total fans on my rig would go to a better cause. Lets see, 3 external fans I count, could safely lower it, but how cares right? Bench cases ftw!

[AquaMuscle]

18 x Sharkoon 2000rpm 120mm for rads and system
1 x Yateloon 140mm for PSU (HX1000)

[sn0man]

3 radiator, 5 case, 1 RAM.
