Well..do yall think like one exhaust fan would be enough to cool a underclocked system?

The only real way would be to try it (watching the temps closely).

hell yes. i have a total of 3 fans. 2 in the back for exhaust, and one that i think is intake on the side, but it's completely covered by a thich layer of dust, so not much help there. thats 3 case fans. and then i got the massive heatsink and my tornado. if i place my hand on my case, the only place i can feel a weee bit of heat is near my 2x 200gb hdds. they run hotter than my cpu now. rite now both are above 45 C!!!

dude, u really don't need 7 fans. get like 2 exhaust and 2 intake. that's prob the max u'll need.

my setup rite now, my cpu never goes higher than 41C during games. my graphx card goes up to 40 on really really hot days (80-90F). what u might be doing is overexhausting. ur blowing too much air out when u don't really need to.

take out a few fans. seriously

You really thought you'd slide that one by us, didn't you?

Ahem.

ok fine, u got a better more concise word for the act of exhausting too much and unneedly?

oh clocker

oh clocker

I rather think he was referring you to the laws of physics (again).

You can't remove more heat than is present, unless you can supply that special HDD again.

after moving my PC to the basement i decided to take out all the case fans as it was too loud when i tried to watch movies, play games on my xbox....

and with all the case fans out my oced cpu still runs quite cool

btw its at 2.4ghz

yep, my magic maxtor 120gb hdd. it's sitting in my shelf rite now. i replaced both my 120gb hdd's with 200gb hdds. now they get pretty hot. when defraging, they go up to 50C!!! rite now they're doing 40'sC. sigh. i miss my magical self cooling 120gb maxtor. lol

y is clocker always trying to make me look bad?

i mean, 2 years ago, i was a serious noob, but hey, i'm only 16.

and from personal experience, what i said makes sense. i only have 3 fans, and one of them is completely covered by a thick layer of dust. my cpu's still pimpin 30C rite now.
