How many fans..

[Ash]

Well, how many fans would you say a PC wuld need if hosting a server 24/7?? atm i host a server 24/7, pc seems cool and fine and it was last turned off about 7 days ago for about half hour due to power problems lal. It has three fans, one in the power unit, one on the motherboard and one just in the tower. Is this enough would you say?? its just i dont want anything overheating and messing up. I asked someone on msn and they said 3 fans is fine, just want to make sure he is correct so i know nothing will overheat and mess up etc heh.

Thanks punk:

4 Delta Fans... (If your case is aluminium it'd probably hover)

Optimally, 1 fan if it had the right airflow in a cool room.

Yours has 1 case fan correct? Where in the case is it positioned and is it blowing air in or an exhaust.

And ye, post a pic of speedfan while running the server.

The 1 fan in the tower is placed on the back, just below the power unit.

Download CPU-Z and post a SS of the Mainboard tab. Also, is the back fan an exhaust?
