Installing 30 case fans into a case to see what happens! Did we just find the best way to install our fans into a PC?
need new thermal paste? check out my brand: www.yeesterpas...
Also fun fact: adding more fans does not impact the temperature of the components, it will never go under room temperature unless you use something like an air conditioning
I never thought about this 😶
no shit
Its like you are telling about some juice
True
You don't need AC, you just need a well designed house with cooling in mind. Why build a house like an oven that traps heat only to attempt to cool it.
After years we found what was in a ps4
Haha
ps4 was the worst console ever existed in my opinion
@@Lunaraz1 i wont say that
@@Lunaraz1 well the hdd edition is bad but the ssd is nice
@@Lunaraz1wii u
it is a crime not to name it only fans
It's perfect

underrated comment
Lol nice
I have 15 fans in my O11 Evo: 6 on top in a push-pull on the AIO, 3 on the side, 3 on the front, and 3 on the bottom. The end result is a 13700k boosting to 6ghz and running at ~57° at 4K in Starfield, and a 4090FE running at 53° with a 21° ambient temp. I no longer have a need to build a custom loop, since I'd cut maybe 5° from my GPU temp. But I'm in the middle of a cold front right now, which has been awesome. My ambient temp is down to ~11°, resulting in my GPU temps dropping to 44°. It's cold enough to stay below the GPU Boost threshold, so I'm not dropping 15mhz boost bins and have set new PBs in every 3DMark test
we're opposite! i live in Brazil, getting 30 - 34 °C in the ambient with a double fan RX 6600, Ryzen 7 5700G with the stock cooler and 3 weak case fans. everything is running under 85° (a safe temp) but is very very hot when im playing beside it T_T
Be a lot easier to open the side panel and aim a house fan at it when your gaming. And 15 fans is a lot of tax on the psu
@@davew4304 that's what I do when I'm benchmarking, but my temps are great when gaming. In Cyberpunk at 4K with every graphics option maxed out, my 14700k runs at 40-44° and the 4090 FE sits at 55°.
The fan hub is powered by two SATA cables. Assuming each fan pulls 5 watts, it's a draw of 75w. The 1200w PSU is fine.
@@technewb8241how the hell your i7 14700k is running 44° while gaming, mine is running at 44° while idle

You can get more static pressure if you double stack fans that rotate in different directions as well as better cooling by making spacer tubes that match the outer profile of the fan
like coaxial helicopters
i was thinking why not having a longer cooler instead of bigger, with fans inside an air tunnel
He mentioned that
Oh good, I was worried I'd have to spend my day off installing computer fans, but thankfully I've got Mr. Yeester here to do it for me
I love that fan mount spot behind the CPU socket, that’s really clever. The side cover fan wall was cool too, although I’ve done stuff like that for years, before I started liquid cooling, and a box fan or a air filter aimed at the motherboard does the same thing, probably a lot quieter
But the real question here is, will it take off and fly? :)
There is a right way of stacking. You want the exhaust to be faster and more powerful than the intake. The rear exhaust should have static pressure or a blower fan configuration to forcefully pull the heat outside. The intake's job is to simply draw fresh air in, so these can be basic airflow-type fans. If the intake is equal to or faster than the exhaust, all you're doing is circulating hot air inside the case, which is why you don’t see a cooling improvement or it gets even hotter. This happens because the hot CPU is reheating the already hot air inside.
This is actually a really interesting and useful video. I'm considering buying the case, it looks awesome!
You can use static pressure fans instead of airflow fans. More direct air flow that won't push out to the sides. Should do this again with SP fans.
Now that's what "a huge fanbase" means

we need a pc case made out of fans
this 😉
Absolutely
Where would you even put the components, there'll be no even surface and the fans might hit them
Even better
We need a computer made entirely of fans
Just use a mining case
This video has shown me that im not crazy for having 19 fans in my case. Since i dont mind the noise increase from the fans, i may swap some of them out with some much higher airflow ones just to see what happens
If you run out of mb fan header just use 12v directly from your psu. And you can easily use a second psu if yours doesn't has enough power.
@@AMPS1 my PSU has too much power. Under full load I'm barely using a little over half of the total output it can provide. (700W max load/1200W PSU). I don't know if I've run out of headers yet since all of my fans run on their own hubs or are daisy chained, so I think I'm only using 4 fan headers on my board so far.
Actually, I might not even be using 4 since my fans don't even have software control
Must be hell to clean that up
What you trying to cool off, the unmatched power of the sun?
@@FilipeB-code haven't cleaned it even once since it somehow never builds up enough dust to do anything more than a very very light coating. I've had it for almost 4 years now
There's a few issues with this for strictly air cooling, but it can work up to a certain point providing everything is done correctly. First issue you'll run into is a case that supports this concept, you're almost guaranteed to jerry-rig a design or build one. The next issue is pretty much all fans need to be pointing all one way. The next issue is the thermal floor which is not solvable for air cooling. The best temp that the case will be is the temp of the room it's in or space that it's sucking air from.
I think you should use the multi fans and 3d printed air flow directors ive seen videos on them and they seem to work combined with many fans it may work better or need less fans.
ive never found a favorite youtuber, but i think this is my favorite channel 🥺
same
Imagine sealing the space between the fan to create proper air pressure
On Intel, if your air cooler has support on the back of the motherboard, that rear fan works wonders. And even more so if you use that support with a thermal pad pressing on the back of the processor. Love this case
Had an Antec lanboy case years ago that could used with 15 120mm fans. All were meant to be intake. Positive airflow. 😊
fact] more fans eqaul more cool when you have them stacked less airflow and could cuase over heating hope you like this:)
Made a case back in 2006 made almost of just fans including a AC fan and as long as you have your flow correct it can make a massive difference.
It’s now a drone 😂
loved the wall of fans...lol, yeah if you stack them you will create turbulence as you said which will just hold the hot air
I just purchased a super massive Thermaltake CTE-c750. It has room for 11 140mm fans. If you remove the hard drive plate in the back, it can hold 14 140mm fans.
i saw the title, and thought to myself: "who on Earth would do that?!" then i saw mryeester and i was like: "Oh, ok np."
really like the case, love the blue, the glass and all the spots for cooling, but im not giving up my no airflow sleeper case
Good luck with having no cooling
On the case fan that mounts to the back of the motherboard: I have heard of some motherboards that actually mount the CPU *on the back*. Now, I donno if you could fit an actual cooler back there, (or...why you would want that for a case this large) but it would make for a really interesting setup (or maybe a 2 CPU setup if those were worth it)
GamersNexus has a video about a passive cooler that mounts on the back
Fun fact. Only use exhaust fans for the best performance. The air will flow in through smaller gaps. You'll use the power of all the fans and in the process cool the incoming air in the same way your fridge works. (Just try to suck air out of an empty can for proof of concept. Then blow and be amazed how sucking the air out let's new air come in through small gaps and cool the can.)
Ambient temperature is the first step. I've normal computers overheat just because the room itself was hot. Should be obvious. Lastly, a small splash of cool water on the cpu will dramatically reduce its temperature, expect it to be around 0 - 2 degrees after that.
Ambient temp of 20c or 30c is the difference between cpu temp of 80c or 90c. Aka, not very big. Unless its summer and u have no AC, it wont make a difference. What will make a difference is having a good case, 1-2 exhaust fans and 420mm radiator for ur cpu along with gigabyte's xtreme waterforce gpus. Excellent cooling, very silent. Exteme noise-to-performance ratio.
added some new components to my pc, made the temps worse, 180d the direction of the airflow in my case and bam, 15 degrees cooler. turbulence and hot air buildup from not venting correctly, flipped it n its fine now
i think the perfect number of fans stacked would be around 75 it would create a dynamic vacuum half way through and then a increase in vortex circulation thus acting like a turbo charger... which would end up alowing the last 25 or 30 fans to actually work as generators and once they are spooled up you could unplug your PC and have a self sufficient power source and if you wanted then plug that back into the wall and get paid by the power company for uploading power to the power grid.. one would then be a genius and may end up getting a noble peace prize
I never knew Kermit loved computers this much
More fans = more dusting = more work
Gaming in the 2000s, Open the case and point a desk fan inside.
It might be interesting to test a few (or even just one ) Delta server fan, in various positions. They have some models that take 12 volts, but put out 200 CFM. They are extremely loud, though. They have a double stacked 92 mm fan, that combines a 9 blade fan and a 5 blade fan. I think it also puts out close to 200 CFM. As for the back of the CPU, I know that it gets pretty warm. However, it's possible that because of the fancy brackets that many modern coolers have these days, it might get adequately cooled with enough air from the front.
For me, the cheapest and the most effective solution was when I used a $12 dollar box fan on a Pentium 4 + 1900x setup.
That super unique thing you mentioned is also on lian li cases, just for one example.
Dawid already did this.
If you keep stacking fans, you get diminishing returns. Honestly, one fan is enough.
Too many fans will not lower your temperature and are unnecessary. You can remove the air inside with a good fan. 3 fans will also do the job
Do you think if you used around 10 fans, 4 in the back and bottom, 6 in the front and top. Top and front intake back and bottom output. That may cool better i think. I think another issue that caused heat was probably the power consumption of that many fans. I would think that it might be a little bit too draining to keep the board cool. Thanks for the video theyre amazing to aspiring IT students like myself.
Motherboard traces don't get warm. VRMs do, but fan headers are connected directly to the PSU, not the VRMs
@@waldolemmer the cpu still has to calculate how to use the fans correct,
@carnagedestructo7388 ...you gonna finish that sentence?
@@waldolemmer it was meant to be a question mark. MY BAD FOR THE PUNCTUATION ERROR. Dont be posh. You knew what i meant.
@@carnagedestruct1520 Yeah
Fan stuff happens on the chipset
Hey Bro, could you try this with Delta Fans next time. This will be the loudest with 7000 RPM for each Fan.
+1 LMAO go full RPM Delta fans, for the science
That’s literally the coolest I’ve ever seen.
now this is my type of content
What I want to see is a Motherboard that supports 'duel CPUs' but one is on front, one is on back. They would behave as one CPU so it'd really be a single CPU in the end, so it may not work with just 1 slot filled, I don't know. It could even be customizable so that instead of different CPUs with varying clocks and different amounts of P/E cores you could swap out/upgrade just one side and it'd end up being a customizable CPU, if you don't want any E cores you could put 2 P core CPUs together, if you need a whole lot of E cores, both sides could have just E cores and then you could have different combinations of P/E cores that you mix together. I love being able to customize like that, but it doesn't sound practical so if we do ever see something like this it'll be a while. I have always thought being able to cool a CPU from both sides makes more sense, it'd pretty much double the cooling surface and the CPUs maximum size so we can get majorly more cores and/or a lot more clock speed!
Now I want to see a PC case that is just two big box fans in place of side panels.
sometimes i watch your video, it good, but i forget to subscribe until now :D
2:15 "Mom I already full"
2:20 "We still haven't into the main course, son"
I built a circulating pressurized heatpump using a type of propane that you use for air conditioning and extreme refrigerant applications, and it works so well you can keep the computer at 2c with it. Not sure if it causes damage being ao cold be ause its like a block of ice.j8i>
dang im old ive been using the cheapest rosewill case with a walmart plastic box fan for years. super cool.
It is easier to direct the air conditioner blowing direction towards the case.
cooler on both cpu sides dont work, you need space for good data transfer. cpus are this flat so the maximum surface area can be cooled, and because it is so thin the whole cpu cools.
law of deminishing return, after certain amount of fans, it just won't get any better performance
Didn't know this case but it looks pretty cool imo (especialy the fan, which are sick good).
I was looking for a case with similar Airflox and got up with a Deepcool Morpheus, which imo give better Fan placement overall and some others options (that I can't use cause I got a dedicated sound card... but ....) And it's a bit bigger and give better AIO and fan compatibility.
TBH I would have considered this cas if I knew it sooner
i thought we've all been there in the summer when the ac is out but you wanna game, side panel off and box fan added.
all exhaust no intake? great testing
Huh front ones are intake and so are the sides??
The side was exhaust@@mikaelceylan
i had never heard of that case but i love it
I would be more worried about Amp draw from my psu than anything else, as long as you have exaust it won't change much after a certain point of adding fans. But they can affect the power available to other components.
I had an old system that I ended up just leaving the side off with a big window box fan aimed at it lol. It worked and wasn't sucking power from the system itself.
try installing 30 ram sticks next
i love this guy, he talks as fast as his shorts lol
" _What happens if we stack fans?_ "
Stacked Fans: 🌪
Well after a while it’s kinda just flys away
Corsair 1000D supports 34 fans
There are a lot of builds out there using that configuration
My dream pc :
I was watching this and was wondering about what would having a singular fan the size of the glass be like.
Next video: submerging PC in water so you don't have to.
When your cooling system is so good that the problem is not over heating but underheating
Also is that an idle temp? Because my pc stays around 30-35 idle and gpu never goes over 32 when gaming
Make all case fans exhaust and blast an industrial fan into the open side of the case
Imagine if CPUs came as two parts like efficiency cores and standard and you could mix and match and mount one on the "front" and one on the "back" and have a cooler on both side for better over all performance. They would act like one processor but could be two efficiency or standard or one of both depending on the work loads and use.

Dual CPU Motherboards for consumers died out about 15 years ago. It just didn't hang on in the consumer market.
@@an2thea514 were they any good?
@@CalamityAzure Yes and No.
I'll try to compare to SLI.
Remember, Workstations to this day like to utilize 2 CPU Motherboards but we are talking consumer here.
These obviously weren't for just any consumer, Motherboards were massive and you needed compatible RAM(DDR 3 and 2 were much pickier of when they wanted to work and when they refused), Special CPU coolers as well.
Consumer Grande programms at that time were only really starting with Multithreading, you'd be challenged to find something that utilized 3 cores at once. Obviously, they were mostly bought by the enthusiasts.
If I remember correctly, you couldn't run them single or mix different Models unlike with SLI(where you can theoretically mix all GPUs of the same architecture), so you either bought 2 very expensive CPUs or 2 quite expensive CPUs, both at once.
In comparison to SLI, you had less of a problem with overhang.
With SLI, you'd pay close to double, triple or quadruple and got diminishing returns. With these, you'd pay more than double and got almost double the power, but you couldn't utilize it. Maybe it's time just hadn't come back then.
@@an2thea514 so basically, you'd pay a lot more, but it was pointless because it couldn't be utilized?
I literally have 26 fans in my Corsair 1000D though.
You have so many fans.
Next episode 30 air conditioners
meanwhile my pc chilling at a cool 31 degrees celcius with only 7 fans
I just use three fans - two intake, one exhaust. It seems to work fine, but it doesn't help that I live in a tropical country
The pc: "Dang it's windy out here"
Stacking them increases air pressure not flow, altho you might notice around 10 % increase in flow aswell btu it doesnt double, left this coment at 4:29 sry if you reached the same conclusion later
its gonna be nice and cool until the daisy chaining starts a fire
Nothing better than a desktop fan blowing through an open panel case
turbulent flow has entered the chat
I would try something this, but I don't have the patience to deal with those cables. I remember plugging in 7 fans into a mixro atx case and I have ptsd. I was legit sweating dealing with the fan cables lmao
Yep ur electric bill is gonna be high 😂
For my mATX build, I put fans in the front and back of my radiator (closed loop AiO liquid cooler for the CPU). I haven't fully tested the difference but I did notice less heat coming from the back...
Does stacking the fans makes that thing a super computer.
This would work well in canada especially winter time
This was a very fun video. I'm curious though. Could desk fans further increase airflow/ cooling. Rather than adding more to the case, what if instead you had a desk fan helping vent/pull air away from the back of pc?
bro became the insparation of a 16 fan pc in greece
Thought about doing a Thanksgiving special? How well does gravy work as thermal conductor? Mashed potatoes? Cranberry sauce?
I could do with 1 or 2 of those because I’m currently running with 1 fan and when I want to play a slightly demanding game it starts to go crazy like you can hear it from downstairs
The thumbnail made me watch out of curiosity
But also is he not using insane watts?
I miss cases like Corsair Carbide 500r with the large side panel fans. Idk why they started replacing those with glass panels.
65% of the time triple stacking the double stack do the magic every time.
Potential Issues with 30 Fans
Airflow Management:
Too many fans can create chaotic airflow patterns, potentially leading to areas of turbulence and stagnant air. Proper airflow management is key to effective cooling, and this typically involves a balanced setup of intake and exhaust fans.
Diminishing Returns:
There is a point where adding more fans does not significantly improve cooling performance. This is due to the law of diminishing returns, where each additional fan contributes less and less to overall cooling.
Noise Levels:
30 fans will generate a significant amount of noise, which can be quite distracting. Fan noise can become a serious issue, especially if the PC is in a quiet environment or used for tasks that require concentration.
Power Consumption:
Running 30 fans will increase the power consumption of your system. This requires a power supply capable of handling the additional load and may also lead to higher electricity bills.
Space and Installation:
Fitting 30 fans inside a standard PC case is challenging and may require custom modifications. It can also limit space for other components and obstruct cable management.
Heat Sources:
Fans alone do not cool components; they only help dissipate heat. If the primary heat sources (CPU, GPU, etc.) are not properly cooled with adequate heatsinks or liquid cooling solutions, the benefits of many fans are minimal.
i was just about to do this thanks for showing me what would happen
Ever thought of shutting off that fancy RGB light
Im so obsessed with rgb pc fans but them cost sind much! Where did you get them? Please tell
*Me! (Sry) id love to have That Many!! 🤤
I remember years ago when PCGH made a video Using 48 cheap fans for just the CPU cooling.
thanks for doing this, i was planning on doing it untill i saw this
Doesn't friction become an issue with all that airflow, I recall reading many years ago about how there could be an issue with friction adding to temps or am I off track here?
Wouldnt you want the three 'exhaust' fans on the side to be intake fans instead?
Can I buy that case without glass and a metal grate side panel? If not hard pass. I hate glass so much it's insane.
Zelda physics says different regarding to stacking fans 😂
