Just add more fans. ALL the fans. Purple fans. Or maybe red? Because “Red ones go fastah”. You know, more bang for the buck

Red fans with red stripes?

lol, that’s for kids 
I have only x2 140mm fans (water on CPU) in a gigantic tower with perfect airflow, since i care about silence 
btw, i’ve noticed that 140mm fans are perfect in terms of noise, anything higher or lover either sounds like space ship or vibrate too hard even with rubber stuff around.

This is my usual toss around computer. It’s been my distro hopper, my computer to break and learn on. It travels with me, it’s my work computer if I need one. I bought it with a broken toplid from a local. Replaced the toplid for $100. It’s my favorite computer I’ve ever owned. I LOVE the keyboard. I don’t think after owning this, I will buy another computer that isn’t a thinkpad.

Wow, that’s enough power to launch a rocket!
Why do you need such a powerhouse?

This is going to sound dumb considering I have 9 Corsair LL120 RGB fans and a Commander Pro, but I am not a fan of RGB at all. When I first started this build, I was looking for a case that was easy to build in, and easy to make upgrades to since I always am swapping out hardware to the latest. Then when I decided on that case, I was looking at pictures of other people that had built in the same case and it just seemed to look strange without any lighting. But knowing what I know now, I will never ever do another build with RGB ever again if I can help it.
I’m just simply a PC hardware nerd, and a former competitive overclocker turned casual overclocker, so I always like to have the latest and greatest.

That is great actually
Always good to have feedback from people with state of the art hardware.
I stopped overclocking when I bricked two mainboards and/or processors. One of these processors now serves as a key fob

And at home at my stand up desk. Ye old faithful (although I think both computers are technically from 2015).
It’s my superstable home computer. I don’t change much of anything on this. I update, everything works. I don’t mess with anything. It’s where I pay bills, calendar, and no major nonsense. This is the “save my ass” computer.

I agree! This is my first Build with RGB lighting and i wouldn’t do it this way again. I would probably just use led fans where i want one if i even do.

Sounds like you need a bigger laptop.

Or a smaller tower
Well it’s good for air flow.

Maybe I can fill the tower with a couple of Raspis
There you go! Setup, your own server, INSIDE your current computer. . .

Very good idea actually!
Did you make that case yourself?
For your Raspy.
