16 fans best way to instal them all?

[backstabbin]

Hey guys I will be having 16 fans in my build

 

[backstabbin]

What's best way to do this buy 2 fan hubs ?

I guess my question is why 16?
You will have to use some sort of fan controller.

You'll need two of these eight way splitter PCB's and a Molex to PWM adapter so that you don't draw too much power from the connectors on the motherboard.

Please note that you can have one speed per Molex/PWM adapter, all fans will be running at the same speed but you can control said speed.

Update: The Molex to PWM Splitter I linked above is an outdated model and this newer one has better wiring. Here's the new one.

I don't know of any case, ever, with 16 fan mounts. Even a case like the almighty Cosmos 2 only has ten fan mounts.

Which case is it?

16 fans????, what do you plan to do with your machine?

With 16 fans I think I would consider tying a brick to the case so it doesn't start to achieve lift off.

I'm a fan of having 16 fans... One of my machines has 13 in it. I'm down with this idea. Having more fans means each one can be run at a lower RPM, resulting in a quieter machine.

Well I have 3 360 rads so that's 9 fans there 2 in bottom 1 at top then there is room for 4 120s at the front and 1 120 at the back the case is parvum l1.0

Three triple 120mm rads? What are you trying to cool?

I'm doing dual loop 1080 strix sli and 6850k

I tried a build in which I used a 5960X and two GTX Titan X (the first ones) cards... I ended up needing one triple 120mm and one double 120mm radiator. I don't really think that you need all that radiator space just to keep from overheating, but it will help your machine to run quieter.

Oh yeah for sure I don't but I have 3 rads 2 from a old build so I figured I might as well use them if I have them

Best way to utilize 16 fans is to sell 2/3 of them and mount the rest.
