p67x-ud3-b3 Motherboard, how much case fans can I run on it?

(1/3) > >>

Sig2dat:
Hi all,

I have a p67x-ud3-b3 motherboard. I am playing Battlefield 3 a lot and my CPU and GPU reach around 55 for cpu and gpu 60degrees. My case on top gets warm, so I recon the hot air has no where to go. My plan is to purchase two additonal 120mm case fans (my case can put 3 additional 120mm fans and one 80or 88mm fan). Currently I have a CPU FAN plugged in, a front fan, which is on the SYS_fan 1 or 2. In the manual it says theres 4 spots for fans. So i can still add one in total. I find this rather strange for such a board, am I overlooking anything?

Kind regards,

Sig2dat.

There is normally the CPU fan and then the pwr fan and a couple of sys_fans at least. Sysfan_2 only works at half speed though so don't think you have a fault. The other opption and the one I always favour is to use a fan controller and then you have complete control and can use as many fans as you want because they will be fed directly from the controller and that comes from the PSU.

Hi Sig2dat,  ;)

you can install an air conditioner in the room where is the computer.?
The temperature would be better CONTROLLED.

Dark Mantis:
Yes, what is the ambient temperature where the system is ? If it is to high you will be fighting a losing battle . It doesn't matter how many fans you install.

Sig2dat:
Ambient temperature would be 19 or 20 degrees Celcius, I am from the Netherlands so no desert like temperatures :)
I think the airflow in my case (t5-sharkoon Economy) is not that good, especially cause I have Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO as cpu cooler, the top of the case as mentioned before feels warm so my quess is that the hot air accumulates and stays there, theres no fan sucking the air out at the back.
