Is a Single CPU Fan Enough for 24/7 Use?

[manik hossain]

Single fan is enough for 6800K?

I want a ans which better for me 2 fan cooler or single fan cooler?

2 fan is best, but make sure one is intake and the other outtake.

Unless you plan to overclock your system, a single fan for your CPU is enough. My system runs 24/7 and I just have the stock intel heatsink/fan on it, works just fine.

I think Greg is talking about case fans when he said intake/out-take fans. I would further add that the bigger fans (high airflow fans) should be used for exhaust. Having slightly lower than ambient air pressure inside the case will help with airflow and provide better cooling for the case.
