It's the energy efficent model so it's doesn't draw a lot of power, doesn't run hot and is silent and I got it for £50 so I can't complain.
Metro 2033, Batman AA, Mafia 2....there's quite a few games I play that use it

Hey davros, There's 10 fans in my system and the reason for that many is pretty simple.....NOISE.
My fans have 61cfm of air flow at 20dBA at 12 volts which is quite audible so I run them at 6 volts which makes them completely silent but halves the air flow. So I run twice as many fans to make up for the cfm I lost by running the fans at half speed. It also eliminates dead spots ( Parts of the case with no air flow ) because the fans are spread out more
And they just look pretty
10 fans at 30cfm gives the same cooling results as 5 fans at full speed but without the noise.

Now back on that theme of computer photos...I realize it's not water-cooled (gave that up in 2006 when I came home to a burnt-out pump, but at least the computer had shut down gracefully), but this is my new upgrade and it's very sweet indeed.
The Asus Sabertooth 67 is a bit gimmicky in that it has a piece of plastic covering the motherboard, but there's a 50 mm fan (not included) pushing positive pressure under the plate and my hope is fewer dust bunnies. So far it's a great board having no problems pushing the i7-2600k and 16 Gigs of Gskill to 4.4 GHz (the memory is running stock 1600 though).
The top CrossfireX card is a real (HIS) 6970 and the lower one is a flashed (Vistontek) 6950. believe it or not this rig with no water-cooling is actually very quiet thanks to having very large fans (Coolermaster HAF case).
Now I just want two more Dell 2405 monitors so I can run three in portrait mode on eyefinity...alas I think I've pushed my toy limit to the edge for now...

And pushing 90-110 fps with vsync off...though of course I play with it on so locked at 60 fps.
Nope, 1 fan would meen my cooling performance would suffer so I would have to dial back my overclock to keep temps in check = Not on my watch
