poll - number of fans in your system

premrajeev · 20-04-2005, 12:08 PM

hey people i am using 8 fans in my system ..Just curious to know the average fan usage in computers around...

SMPS = 2 ( one backside, one downside )

casing = 3 ( one front suction, 2 rear exhaust)

agp = 1

processor = 1

mobo chipset = 1

total : 8 fans..

krishnathelord · 20-04-2005, 12:37 PM

for my 2.8 ghz system

1-processor
1-exhaust
1-smps

I'm going to add 3 more.

. No wonder its too hot

My 700 mhz system has just 1 fan

BONZI · 20-04-2005, 12:59 PM

oops why did I post it here?????

I think it should have been in the hardware or Q&

vysakh · 20-04-2005, 02:57 PM

SMPS ---2
casing ---4
agp ---2
processor ---1
chipset----2
sound card ----1
ram-----2

total =14

premrajeev · 20-04-2005, 04:55 PM

how weired is your idea of fitting fans in your ram sticks ? why dont you go for a fan under your hard disk instead which is rather realistic? this aint a joking place man..

and i hope u must be using an onboard soundcard !!! which u have to cool it with 2 fans insted of one.. and i sugggest u fit some more fans in your system and u can convert it to a flying machine....

pradeep_chauhan · 20-04-2005, 05:02 PM

If you OC your RAM then forced air cooling is required so the fan on the ram is justified.

I too am what i would say a fan freak my P3 has the folloing
SMPS -2
CPU -1
North Bridge - 1
case Exaust -2
Case In -1
HDD (SCSI) -2
VGA -1
And an external fan for the data one modem
so the total =10

premrajeev · 20-04-2005, 05:31 PM

COULD ANYONE PLS EXPLAIN HOW I CAN FIT FANS ON RAM CHIPS ?
MY RAMS CAN BE OVERCLOCKED LITTLE MORE, BUT NEEDS MORE COOLING FOR THAT..CURRENTLY I AM USING ALUMINIUM HEAT SPREADERS FROM A DEAD KINGSTON EXTREME EDITION RAM..BUT IT TOO HEATS UP A LOT...AND I USE ARTIC SILVER 5 STRIPS AS HEATSINK COMPOUND.

gamefreak14 · 20-04-2005, 05:40 PM

If you are using 8 fans..it's better you go for liquid nitrogen cooling @ a modest 125$ here http://www.maximumoc.com/ln2.html

premrajeev · 20-04-2005, 06:20 PM

thanks game freak..that was a nice info, but i wont be using liquid cooling in my system..for various safety reasons...

Also i need to kool multiple parts ie, processor, ram, chipset, gpu etc..I am thinking of a weired idea, after completion, i will post the results..

chinmay · 20-04-2005, 06:34 PM

Vyasram · 23-04-2005, 06:12 PM

I use only one fan in my 866mhz system but it never gets hot in there

pradeep_chauhan · 23-04-2005, 08:06 PM

Depends what uou use your system for. I have a p3 866 OC to 910 running gentoo and when it compiles a large package cpu temp reach ranges of 89+ at times.
