now there's irony for ya. :p


I acutally use a fanbus to keep the Tornadoes down until I need to do serious video editing, but I appreciate your sense of irony! :)
 
Intake:

2 Front 80mm
1 Side 80mm

Exhast:

4 Back 80mm (including powersupply)

Video Card
CPU Fan
Motherboard Fan


10 fans total.
 
1 front, 1 back, 1 PSU, 1 CPU = 4

all panaflos

Edit: And all low volted, and system is 2.8C P4 running at 3.4Ghz, idling 38 and loading 45

Now that, is how you roll :D
 
main rig:
80mm intake, front
92mm exhaust, top
80mm exhaust, back
fan on NV5
92mm fan for zalman cnps7000
120mm fan on neopower

=6
all rated for 20db or under

my duallie :) (love this thing)

2x 70mm on the chips
80mm fan in the PSU.

thats it. the PSU sits right on top of the processor HS's (quite literally) and with no other airflow, these chips LOAD at 43C. the fans on the HSF's are rated for 21DB, and i cant hear the system, at all. i turned it on this morning and i thought it was dead. the r7000 is passive.
 
I so read this little tid-bit today, which seems to be OT, kind of, which said that if you create a postitive pressure situation in your case, IE, more air in than out (over time), that it will result in zero dust build up... which I think is impossible, because /some/ dust will stick in there, and will create a suitable hold-fast for more of it... but I figure creating a positive pressure situation will really minimize dust build up, because air will be constantly trying to escape from all the seams, etc... pretty cool... :)
 
I'm betting it was pretty horrible with all the air turbulence on those fans. Plus the fact that he probably was running them all at 12v because volt modding that many cables or hooking them all up to a baybus would be a major pain.

For years ive always said its best to have in = out but once i rigged up my system now...the 120 pushes in more air then the others take out...I have noticed a difference in the dust buildup....
Its still there, but not as bad so lately im goin with more in than out. But if you have too much in and not enough taken out you got alot of hot air just hangin around. So itry to keep it as close as possible to each other.
Oh ya...they are all on a controller, one of those vantec with the pretty blue leds :D
 
Right now I'm pushing 7 120mm case fans and 1 120mm PSU fan. I could use a few more I think though.............. :D

2 x 80mm intake
2 x 80mm exhaust
2 x 80mm PSU
1 x 92mm CPU
1 x 70mm video card

8 total.
 
PSU=2
Rear Exhaust=2
side intake=1
front intake=2
Hard drive cooler=2
CPU=1
GPU=1

Total = 11
 
Every review i've read about it states that it doesnt do much at all.

You'd be better of filling the stock round cutout in a stacker / modding a Xdreamer side panel with a huge fan, pointed at the mobo from the top... so it doesnt have to try and blow across the mobo components, but rather blows down onto them.

EDIT: forgot fans ;)

1 x 120mm x 25mm intake (CM stacker stock fan)
1 x 120mm x 25mm exhaust (CM stacker stock fan)

I wouldn't say its the best thing ever but it dose it's job well.
Its not going to be super awesome because of the fact that the air is being blown from one end of the MB to the back of the case. So 1 stick of Ram is staying nice and cool, the other is not getting that much air. It keeps some of the capasitors cool and hits my NF4 with some extra air. like I said its not a pair of tornado's but its does a fine job of moving air over and away from the MB to be pulled out the back by my other fans.

I am glad I got it for my stacker.
