You have to remember...the people who post on these boards are enthusiasts...most "normal" people could care less about adding any extra fans to their PC. I used to be all about trying to overclock the hell out of my systems but the older I get the more the noise from all the fans seem to bother me. haha getting older and lazier I suppose

I have 4.
1 x GPU
1 x CPU
2 x PSU

I did have 9: 4 case, VGA, Chipset, CPU, 2 PSU but was having problems with my 350W PSU.

Took 1 case fan off, and everything is working fine(so far), strange how that one fan was bringin my PSU down.

Because my case is designed for storage. It comes stock with 10 case fans (8 x 92mm in two hot swappable sets & 2 x 120 exhaust). I don't have that many fans because I want it cooler. It's just how the case is. In fact, the side panel is off right now, until I complete a few mods.

because my comp is already running so loud.... I had to disconnect a couple fans from a power source, so now they are idle, I don't have to worry about overheating issues anyway, since the ones I disabled are just case mod fans, everything is cooled well enough.

2 x 120mm Case
1 x CPU fan
1 x Artic Silencer
1 x PSU fan
1 x Chipset (to be replaced with passive cooler)

Total = 6, soon to be 5

Idle Temps: CPU: ~28, GPU: ~29
Load Temps: CPU: ~42, GPU: ~46

once i get the stock CPU fan replaced with a zalman 9500 it should be almost silent

All you guys that have so many fans, thats very bad air flow. It's to much negative pressure, less is better not more.
