2 Intake, 2 Exhaust Fans Enough?

[Sasage]

This is my setup:

Chieftec - Dragon
Power Supply:ENERMAX Noisetaker
Processor:AMD Athlon XP 2500+
Mobo:ABIT "NF7-S" nForce2 Chipset Motherboard
Corsair XMS Extreme 512
Hard Drive:Seagate 120GB 7200RPM
Graphics Card:SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
Cd-Rom(CDR/CDRW): Lite-On Black 52X32X52
Floppy Drive:SONY Black 1.44MB 3.5inch Floppy

Do you think these four fans running at 27 CFM will provide adequate cooling?
Thanks.

[Storm]

it will me more than enough

ive got:

AMD 2600+
512 MB RAM
200GB HDD
9200 SE VIDEO Card

now im running 4 fans......... the one controlled by my mobo is running under 600 RPM!!!!!

2 of them are running @ 7 volt (one of which is nearly totally blocked cause of wrong intake placement i just noticed yesterday)

i could prolly do with just 1 fan

if you havent bought them yet, dont do it, get 1, see what your temps are and you can allways ad more ;)

[Sasage]

So far I only got two so I can use one as my HD/Intake fan and one as an exhuast fan.

It's all about temps, not the number of fans anyway, if your temps are good, it's cool.

4 case fans could even be overkill (noisy).

I have a 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ speeds with only 2x80mm exhaust fans. No intake. Also the 2 fans I have are spinning at about 1500 RPM which is way slower than most 80mm fans. (Antec Case (http://www.antec.com/us/pro_details_enclosure.php?ProdID=80843))

Temps stay under 50˚C under continuous load (folding@home for months now).

volt mod them then. :P

I have 2 intakes, 2 exhausts.

I could probably take out one intake and one exhaust and it would still be just as cool, but the fans have LEDs in them so im keeping them. :lol:

edit: and forgot to say, all my fans (except the cpu fan which is now also an 80mm :D ) are volt modded to 7v. B)
Pretty quiet now :)
