No such thing imho until the added airflow doesn't affect temps anymore.

This. Generally 2 in 1 out is a good combo

I'd go with having a lot of fans so you can run them at a lower RPM to get sufficient airflow while also running quieter.

At a certain point you're just blowing hot air around. It needs proper air flow

That's how you know there are too many fans. If your computer doesn't take flight, you're golden.

You can never have too many fans.

Had a feeling that'd show up.

When the fan motors produce more heat than what your fans remove.

If your pc isn't flying off the instant you tuned it on, then it's good. But if it hovers about 0.5-2cm above the desk then it is golden.

>infinite cool air


No if the hot air already inside the case has no way out, pushing room temperature air into a case full of 70ºC hot air won't make much difference, not unless your room is at 10ºC or less.

Never too many fans, as long as they're right fans.

I fell for the 2 in 1 out meme and the push-pull cooler meme and the high rpm meme.
That shit is overkill, ideally you want low rpm 140mm fans and as few of them as possible.
>>
>>54644057
That many

>>54644373
Still can't run Crysis

True, less is more.

If you have more than 2 case fans you better have a damn good reason.
>>
About 500 watts of delta mega fast fans is probably too much

Also remember that having slightly higher intake with dust filters on them is better than more outtake.
As dust control is harder with "negative pressure"
