Owners of fanless PC's may disagree with question 14.

Yep, seen many computers with a single fan (or none), and the way the question is worded makes it sounds like it's an absolute.

Like many here I take issue with Q14, but I know how to play the game and put the answer the quiz wanted. Then again, are you counting the CPU fan and the PSU fan, should that be 3 or maybe 4? I'll ignore the days before CPU fans as we're not talking ancient history here ;-)

Wow! I really needed to read a couple of those questions carefully. I understood them quite well the second read though. Answers come easy when you're building to efficiency on you own pcs. The fan question actually asks "positive pressure" i build to draw out more than i can feed in as i understand positive pressure is heat in itself... how diamonds are made?

I have built several PC with only one fan pulling air out of the PC case. I consider cooling related questions and answers incorrect

I agree, Question 14 is incorrect, I have 2 fanless PC's granted they are low performance email readers but they are computers and do work for what they are intended for.
