u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon 1h ago

just collected them over the years. Sometimes i'll buy used systems that have them in there, and I swap cases quite often.

u/Ill-Mastodon-8692 2h ago

I have a box of fans. I have a box of coolers. I have a box of cables and extensions and adapters.

Noctua has a significant piece of my basement

u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon 1h ago

not that small, most of the fans in here are 140mm. I do have one of their 40mm ones on my 3d printer though.

There are like $1000 worth of fans! The cheapest NF-A12x25 Noctua fans are lik $70 here. Why do you have so many spare Noctua?

u/Kolegra 2h ago

I sell my old PC crap. Somehow, for more money than I've bought it.

1

u/BeerGogglesFTW 1h ago

I have too many Arctic fans because I'm sucker for deals.

I don't have too many noctua fans. Those are pricey. If I'm buying some of those, it's for a specific purpose

u/JessLoveGaming 1h ago

I have too many CPUs

u/Gaming_devil49 PC Master Race 1h ago

u/Moist-Dependent5241 1h ago

u/chewedgummiebears 1h ago

I had a box for 15 years and never touched them. I finally sold them at a garage sale last year.

1

u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon 1h ago

I probably should sell at least half of these off.

u/awfulpcgaminger 1h ago

I actually finally just got rid of the last set of mine the other day. Went over to a friend's house noticed his AIO fan was making a buzzing noise so I replaced all of them. Lol

u/Hammer6619 1h ago

No such thing!

u/ionV4n0m 1h ago

1

u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon 1h ago

Should i have included my cooler collection? I think i have 2 DH-15's, a 280mm aio, and handful of other smaller coolers.

1

u/Dapper_Profession 1h ago

u/Competitive_Ad6989 1h ago

u/AnalogFeelGood 1h ago

I currently have 1 spare 120mm; A Sanyo Denki scavenged from my late Seasonic X650 PSU that I outfitted with a standard PWM connector.

u/Gombaoxo 1h ago

You can use them to cool weed plantation led lamps. 😎

1

u/Evil_Kittie 1h ago

that box... you could buy a stick of ram with that...

almost all of my noctua fans are second hand (finding used 40mm ones is real hard)

1

u/_Litcube 1h ago

Maybe if you're Nickelback.

u/Own-Ad1497 1h ago

i have so many that the number circled all the way to 0 🤣

Oh you mean case fans...

u/YuukiHaruto 7950X3D | 48GB 6000 C30 | 9070XT Taichi 56m ago

I have a whole shelf of fans, not even a box, 2 whole shelves. Now that i'm leaving the diy pc industry its pretty much personal collection LOL

1

u/weirdbackpackguy 9800X3D / RTX5080 33m ago

I have like 9 92mm noctua fans just sitting from an old project, 4 NF-A12's and one NF-A12 G2 + at least 3 thermalright fans and probably 12 other fans just sitting somewhere. Would be a nice sun of money to sell them but small enough that bothering to do so would be more inconvenient than rewarding

u/Impossible_Past9673 32m ago

Care to share your spares?

u/magog7 25m ago

I'm convinced they breed and multiply when not looking. I know keyboards do that !!

I am in a shortage

1

u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon 2h ago

I'm not even sure how I ended up with this many.

Most are noctuas, and not even counting the 17 noctuas I have across other systems I own.

u/gibbarish 7600X3D | 9070XT | 32 GB 6000 | X870 Eagle Wifi7 | 1440p OLED 2h ago

Too few honestly. I forgot extra fans when I was building but temps were fine so I never got any. Still on 1 intake and 1 exhaust lol.

1

u/DesperateAbility2999 1h ago

hey you can recycle them and make a decent desktop fan with some 3d printed parts.

1

u/DesperateAbility2999 1h ago

PC fans work much better than average 'USB cooling fans'. here is the link for the 3d model: Makerworld link

I have about 13 extra atm. Case swaps so had some previous ones and a couple from a 5 pack but didn't need all 5 lol

Not sure why I got downvoted for answering the question but I'll be here all week 😂

Edit: it's 15 not 13 I forgot a couple 🤷
