[kwlug-disc] New Linux PC Build Advice

[CrankyOldBugger]

Giles makes a good point: you can never have too many fans.  Best to set it
up so that the front fans intake air, and the rear fans exhaust air.  (or
the other way around).  The idea here is to get a good, unrestricted air
flow.

You could even consider cooling the CPU with water as well.  On my i9
desktop I've got eight fans blowing air around, and a water cooler on the
CPU (with fans that blow air past the water lines out the top of the case)
