Maximum Fan count

At what point will my PSU just say "hey I cant power anymore fans!" Reason being is I am working on a project to see how I can cool everything with the most unconventional way possible. Since I just rigged up this little chill box with 3 120mm fans sucking in cold air then a 140mm pushing it out. I am down 3 fans as I swapped them out of their original spots. Will my PC still be able to handle another 5 fans via molex?

Your PSU will probably not give a damn about fans. Just make sure you don't put too much stress on a fan header, they can't handle a lot, but that's about it.

 

Also, where's the rest of the build log? Seems quite special :P

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Spying on everyone to fight against terrorism is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon

I never thought someone asking for one, I will do one sometime in the future. Since I got to take this down and rebuild everything as I am upgrading my mobo and cpu

fans use like, 5W at full blast so you are pretty much good

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Yeah, but you get better performance and less noise with the ML120 RGB for the same price.
