    Greetings!!

    Sorry for a dumb question. In NP9262, if you have 1 video card, there will be 3 fans in it, correct? :confused: Many thanks.

    If you get one videocard, here is what it will look like:

    2 fans for CPU, 1 for each videocard.

    And yet, that still makes 3 fans for non-SLi and 4 fans for SLi - unless someone's managed to invent a system that runs with virtual RAM.

    5 fans? why not make the whole system a huge fan :D

    I do realise it`s ridiculous with 1 fan though.
    But for the heck of it :D

    Maybe it will take off like a hellicopter from too many fans :D

    I mean HDD needs active cooling IMHO.They don't get any air flow at their current position.

    I agree. Sometimes you can feel it is pretty hot around the HDD area.

    Sounds like something lost the isolation. Don't use it anymore. Contact your reseller ASAP, there are quite a few AMPS running through it and all it takes it 30mA to kill you ...

    No, no leakage here.
    I always thought that the chrome accents were just painted plastic and it doesn't conduct electricity but I guess they use real metal then.
