I'm thinking about picking up a HR-05, HR-03, and a SI-128 and I would only like to put a fan on one of the three. I think I can rule out the HR-05, but would it be wise to run a 7800GTX or a X2 4400+ without a fan? I've got an Antec P180 and the top and rear fan on the low setting.
 
You would be better off using slow moving and quiet fans. Or a fan at 5v than no fan at all. It won't hardly make any noise and you won't have to worry about overheating.
 
That seems to be the opinion over at DFI-Street too. One question, how do I run a fan at 5v?
 
I think I'm going with Zalman instead. Zalman VF900-CU-LED for the video card, a Fan Mate 2 hooked up to my TT Big Typhoon, and the Thermalright HR-05 SLI for the chipset. I'm pretty sure it's my chipset fan that's the loudest anyway and with the two fan controllers I should be able to lower them both to 5 volts and pretty much elimate any noise they give off.
