Fan setup?

VolcomXLT · 05-May-03, 11:56 PM

Do you guys think that this would work, or not? (If it would work do you think its overkill)?

[sarcasm]Dont I just have l33t skills?[/sarcasm]

I think your a dork who needs a hair cut

VolcomXLT · 06-May-03, 12:02 AM

BAH watch it Bob, and plus im getting a haircut soon.

AntiM · 06-May-03, 01:15 AM

Would it work? Probably quite well.

Is it overkill? You gotta listen to it, not me.

You could probably lose the 2 on the bottom. Put a single 120 over the vid card. And go with a single 120 on top and still rattle the shingles on the roof with the noise it would make.

The advantage of a lot of fans though is you could run them all through a baybus and get good cooling at reasonable noise levels. The disadvantage is the cost and the likelyhood of sucking in small animals.

VolcomXLT · 06-May-03, 01:22 AM

(Mental Note) Keep small animals away from comp..

Yeah noise was one of the factors I was thinking about..

chiquita · 06-May-03, 01:33 AM

120mm's are pretty damn quite though, so I doub't you have to worry that much.

Frekk · 06-May-03, 01:35 AM

In my case, the louder the better. I enjoy hearing fans screaming...it gives me that feeling that my computer really isnt old and outdated...

VolcomXLT · 06-May-03, 01:36 AM

HAHA...

chiquita · 06-May-03, 01:40 AM

I got a 80mm Sunon 86cfm that makes a car rumble sound because its so off balanced. It makes nasty, I mean NASY, terrible, rattling problems. It goes will with my case theme though. HEHE. Reason why its so off blanaced; because its a sunon.

God I hate Sunon, they make such ****ty quality fans that always break, but damn their powerful; when they work that is.

jinxÂ© · 06-May-03, 02:05 AM

I'd say just go with a front 120 intake, one on the vid card side for intake. Then just flip the 120 in the rear to exhaust,and one up top for exhaust....should be plenty

Special bob have a haircut fetish?...lol...why even post that gibberish dude?....Vol just asked a simple question.

Gamma_Goblin · 06-May-03, 02:55 AM

Spc. Forces Bob · 06-May-03, 11:17 AM

yeah im just jokin around he goes to my school and i always give him bad time bout havin long hair

hawklen · 06-May-03, 11:39 AM

If I had money I'd go with a bunch of 80mm Thermaltake SmartFan II's, on highest setting, 75cfm!! w007..dunno if they make 120mm models..

alexc73 · 06-May-03, 11:47 AM

I'm not an expert, but I'd have to agree with Jinx. The 120 on the back will likely pull in a bit of the hot air expelled by the PSU...

That is assuming of course that your PSU will be located in the top/back position.

The intakes on the bottom are a good idea, provided you've got enough clearance for the fans to have air to pull in, but be sure they're filtered. You don't want to pull in anymore dust/hair/garbage than you have to... and we all know what the floor under couch looks like when we you haven't moved it in 6 months... Imagine all that dust the hairballs in your case. Ick.

Not to mention all the bugs sucked through and "minced"

Sportbilly · 06-May-03, 02:43 PM

If you do install all those fans, I'd agree, flip the one at the back to exhaust.

Then you'd have all kinds of airflow, and depending on temeperatures, you could even undervolt some or all of the fans for maximum quietitude, and still have plenty or airflow. Start with 7 volts and see if your temps change, which I doubt they will do to any large degree...

Ace123 · 06-May-03, 03:53 PM

I have 5 panaflo fans in my comp....... 2 in the front for intake.... 2 in the back for exaust... and one I replaced in the psu. I HIGHLY doubt you would need any more cooling than this. Simply because Im overclocked as hell and I have cold air blowing out the back of my computer....

me_john85 · 06-May-03, 06:58 PM

bahh dont worry about that back fan, if it works as intake check and see if it works better as exaust

Spc. Forces Bob · 06-May-03, 08:02 PM

im just goin with 2 32cfms in front lower and 2 32cfms in rear upper portion of my case that should cover me fairly well i havnt orderd them yet right now im just runin one smart fan 11 for exaust heh

hawklen · 06-May-03, 08:17 PM

As long as you don't create a section in the case of non moving air, cuz of improper intake/exhaust setup. There was a site with a good howto on case fan cooling, can't remember where..
