with this case
http://www.thermaltake.com/xasercas...a/va9000swa.htm
it comes with a 120mm front fan and on the bottom under cooling system is has 2 front intakes that are 120mm. does this mean that i can have a total of 2 120mm fans on the front. im asking b/c i wna get a radiator with 2 fans.

 

[Charchris]

yea i think its a total of 2 fans but if you can get a Fan Controller then you could have a case full

 

[ripken2004]

no its not, theres actually 2 cases there talking about for some reason just to confuse us. but it does have 1 120mm front fan and can with this case
and i was wondering if i culd somehow add another b/c it is has enough room for a total of 3 but i only want 2. is there a way to do this?

lol you can get as many fans as your PSU will support .... and considering they drain at most ~5W, you can fit a lot

In the pc I built for my daughter I have 6 ( 4x80mm, 1x120mm, 1 CPU fan).

more fan = noisier i had 7 fans and it is like a jet engine and i thought i was the psu.

lol ... yea when I crank up all the fans it sounds like I put a hair dryer in there.

im not worrying about the noise b/c its for water cooling

I should work, get out the dremel. But you can run a radiater without fans.

 

[ripken2004]

what exaxtly is the point of those fans then?

 

[tg900]

If you dont need the fans for the cooling, I would probably try and not use them. I had two fans blowing out, and my computer was a degree cooler when i only had one fan blowing out. Weird, but thats what happened in my place. You can get a program like motherboard monitor 5 to monitor the temp, or you could try to go with heatsinks.

It's not so much about the quanity of fans but rather the efficiency, the placement they get to work in is important.

Yer not complaining are you? I'll let ya hear a hair dryer setup next time...

Absolutely, hence there isnt a solid rule for placement and such ... trial and error!
