It really depents on your setup, 2 can work but my cpu cooler alone is pushing so much air for that to be enough. front, 2 back, top, bottom (power supply, which does not really count)

200 in the front. 2 x 140 at the top, 140 exhaust, and a 120 + 140 on my HSF.
I could add a third 140 at top, a 140 at the bottom, and switch the front to 2x140 but they're a different brand and I don't think having everything run at the same rpm would make things any better.
Old case, I just ran 3 x 180 at the bottom, then had a 120 for the exhaust up top.
CPU 1 Fan
GPU 1 Fan
MB 2 Fans (tiny)
Case 2 Fans (one I stuck kinda 'loose' just to cool my old HDD that started overheating - fixed it)
So I guess 6.

My 40" 4k monitor came in yesterday. Didn't include the display port cable and when I checked the listing it looks like it isn't there. But I could have sworn it was there. Other people on another forum are saying they got a display port cable included. Thinking there might be some shenanigans going on.
In any event, my R9 290 handles 4k with a bunch of stuff maxed pretty decently. It's not superb but still much better than I anticipated. Now I just need to wait for a DP cable to come in and check out the Freesync.
Ready for Fallout4k

Thats pretty much optimal for a small/medium case. Adding fans in some cases can actually make temps go up because you end up not adequately pushing cool air over hot components and getting the now hot air out of the case as quickly as possible. Once you move up to the larger towers, things get a lot more complicated.

I'm sitting with 4 right now.
2 140mm on the front that came with the Case
1 120mm on the bottom middle (Cougar Vortex)
1 120mm on the top back (Cougar Vortex)
+ GPU and CPU coolers
Things stay pretty cool and don't get too noisy unless real heavy load.

I don't even have one on my case. I think I have one lying around though.

I had forgotten how incredible that first half hour/hour is in Mirrormoon EP.
Solving that clever first puzzle planet, experimenting with the controls, figuring out the star map and the controls, cruising through space...
The game doesn't have much staying power beyond that (imo) since they literally put every single element of the on-planet gameplay into that first puzzle planet, and every other planet you visit after that is an often simpler rearrangement of those puzzle elements - but for the price they're currently selling it, I'd definitely recommend it just for that magical first hour,

I think I have 2. Both came with the Define R4 case.

It's not so bad, it can get a little loud sometimes but it's enough out of the way that I can't really hear it, never have to worry about overheating because I got more fans than I probably need and everything stays nice and cool.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I can appreciate that.. I'm digging it enough to make an OP.. but then again not sure anyone else is into this kind of game.

This is bullshit advice without knowing more about the original poster.
You have no idea if his cards are going to drop sub 2-hour idle time or not. Whatever change was made was not global. It may very well have to do with the "I've requested a refund before, so now I have to idle for 2 hours before a single card will consider dropping."
To the original poster asking the question:
You can try what Fish suggests if you're unsure of when you should be seeing the first card for a game drop. If you see no drops after the first 2 hours, odds are you will have to idle each game for 2+ hours to "enable" cards for that game.
What Idlemaster is currently doing is expected behavior -- it will save you a ton of time in the long run if you're in the group that needs to idle for 2+ hours to get drops. Idlemaster will cycle back around and idle each one individually to get the cards from it once you have the entire backlog moved through the 2 hour interval. If you're kind of tired of not seeing cards drop, you can go into settings and chose the behavior that says to idle individially then group. This will idle games with 2+ hours first and then deal with the masses of games you have under 2h playtime later.
TL;DR: You can try what Fish says, but if the games are taking more than 2h to drop any cards, you should continue with the default setting for the most efficient idling algorithms.
Probably not. Asking gamers for $30 when the game isn't even guaranteed to come out is kind of a tough sell. Hell, I'm still feeling ripped off by a bunch of the $15-$20 kickstarters I supported that are taking their sweet ass time coming out (Hyper Light Drifter, Shantae, Soul Saga, Mighty No. 9, and the list goes on and on and on). I didn't back Bloodstained because it was $30 to start and I didn't back Shenmue 3 for the same reason. Add in the Indiegogo vs. Kickstarter differences and their goal seems reaaaaallly lofty.
I love Lab Zero, I think Skullgirls was fantastic and I supported their DLC campaign through IndieGogo, but I'm not sold on this one. And I feel like a lot of other potential gamers feel the same.
Tizoc said that they were going to release the demo on PS4, so maybe that will drive up exposure and help them reach their funding goal, but I doubt it.
Purposefully coming into a thread just to attack someone is a bunch of bullshit.
Whoa. Arthea being reasonable... this is the Arthea I know and like.
This. So much this.
Screenshots are a horrible thing to base a purchase on. The game could look fantastic and play like shit. Or it could look iffy and play fantastically. It could look better in motion than in screenshots. There may be things considered spoilers by someone who knows nothing about the game intentionally. There are many reasons to wait.
This is not one of them.
Good luck with that... and if you got some spare cash, I have a bridge to sell you.
Nice. Not even I have made it on there yet, I think.
Nothing that will really affect you currently, buddy. You don't tend to buy guys from other regions, so most of it will not affect you most likely.
It seems that pre-orders where keys are provided before release can have region locking shenanigans imposed on them at any time prior to the game's release, as JaseC has seen with his pre-order for Black Ops 3 DDE from Nuuvem.
Something you want from your wishlist. Or hold on to it as the next sale is coming soon.

Gameplay videos were leaked, but is there any chance the actual game plays better than it looks? Well, it's modern Fallout combat, you shoot people and you shoot people in V.A.T.S.

Eh, and here I thought, I with my two case fans am on the fan-heavy team. Some of you guys have serious cooling.
Those who don't have any case fans should watch the video. Even a single case fan helps reduce temps drastically and thus increases life expectancy of hardware.

Case fans dont have make some noise in a quiet room though - they do become background noise pretty quickly thankfully

Drama don't help no one. We just closed one. Hopefully this time we won't go too much into it.
Could you explain why you opted for a down-to-up cooling solution?
But then again, I remember you having some exotic CPU and RAM as well. Wouldn't be surprised if you had an exotic cooling too
Interesting setup really. Front-to-back is more common.

I go with "Giveaway" and "Raffle"...very unoriginal
Thanks a lot for the explanation - and thanks to you, Fish, too.
I will leave IdleMaster in default mode, I am not in a hurry to get cards right now and what you say above about some warmup time (I didn't know about the initial 2 hours being special) makes sense. The games are mostly untouched, IdleMaster touches them for the first time. I just wanted to know if I was doing something wrong, it helps knowing that what I am seeing is probably expected.
Name of the game I'm entering for, usually.

Same here.
In the beginning I was using "modbot pls", but then after a repeat ad from ModBot I forgot whether or not I already requested a particular title and "modbot pls" transformed into the name of the game.

Well, just bought Fallout 4 from GMG. When will they send out the keys? Is there a preload on Steam?
Will easily be better than PW and MGSV for sure.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The good news is that after it's done with the 2 hour idling time for each game, you should start getting cards like mad once it starts idling them individually. If it's been running for 14 hours straight that means you have at least 210 games that are eligible for card drops - meaning that if you're in the group that needs at least 2 hours (it sounds like you are) then those 14 hours have already saved you 420 hours vs. idling games individually. Just take the number of games which are eligible and divide by 30, then multiply by 2. That should be the number of hours you should have to wait in total before cards start dropping.
I usually enter with some kind of pun or word play revolving around the name of the game.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
They usually send you they keys on the day the game launches, so no pre-load for you (and me). At least that's what usually happens.
I try to make funny jokes about the title of the game because robots want to laugh too.
