tw33k: That really seems like a lot of fans to me. I usually run with 1 front intake, 1 rear exhaust and 1 roof exhaust. Out of curiosity, do you see a massive temp increase if you were to shut off at least 1/2 of those fans? I'm just trying to figure out why some people run with just a few fans and others seem to feel that tons of fans are necessary. I've overclocked a number of machines, built at least 10 over the years, never put in tons of cooling and have never (as far as I know), ever had a heat related hardware death.
I added the fans in stages and my temps continued to get lower each time. Do I need this many...probably not but air cooling's kind of my thing and I wanted to see how low I could get. Plus I had fun working out the best position for them and how to add them
