How many fans on your Heater core or Radiator?

fin tube?

 

[Diggrr]

FizzledFiend's buried radiator is a fin tube from a liquid baseboard heater...the origional passive radiator (not counting those big cast iron monsters ).

 

[[DAD]MeR|iN]

two 120s, push/pull... works pretty well for my application.

 

[sunrunner20]

Oh, ok. Should have figured those things would be called "fin tube"...

One Nidec Beta V 120x38mm pulling air through a chevette heatercore and tupperware shroud. The fan is turning 1700-1800 RPM at 5V.

 

[HammerSandwich]

One Evercool 120 at <4V. It's the case exhaust and the 2-333 is sealed to the intake, so the case is the shroud.

8x80mm fans no shroud

[sunrunner20]

tehnull: what case is that?

 

[tehnull]

Raidmax Elite very cheap and decent cooling (needs a bit of modification) newegg linkage

Is your computer watercooled?

ya, idles around 43. still waiting for the 12cm sanya denki's to arrive.

 

[sunrunner20]

I rember mine taking like 4-6 shipping days (buissnes week) to arrive.

 

[Sneaky]

right now i have 2 80mm sunon tonados on a black ice extreme 2 micro

when i get my new lian-li case, i'll have 3... or 6 if they'll fit, 120mm fans (dunno what brand yet - but its gotta be 35db or below

Well I'll soon have 4 sanyo denki's on my rad! All 7volt but do they make a whine noise on 7volts or is it just a woosh sound? Oh btw Sneaky I heard the CM 120mm fans are pretty damn quiet and push around 50cfm. Silenx are the quietest tho (or so they say). Vantec makes the 120mm stealths which are 53cfm at 21dba. So theres lots of choices

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

They do have some motor/bearing noise, but depending on your noise tastes, it can be reasonable. At 12v it's drowned out by the air.

 

[sunrunner20]

I have written a small guide on what the Sanyo-Denki fans are like.http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?p=3230804

Eventually I will write a MUCH more detailed guide on the fans as they are the fans I am using for my Voltage regulation vs. PWM science fair. Will include RPM, aprox. CFM (calculated by total CFM/RPM’s at 12v, then multiply by the current RPM.), average amperage, and more accurate voltages(I can get accurate voltages with a bit of work)

 

[eXCeSS]

540 CFM Blower

 

[Sterculus]

One Comair Rotron.

9 92MM fans, on 2 Bville radiators. The fans are the ones that Directron had on sale, about 1.5 years ago, for 39 cents each. They are drawing air through the radiator, and also drawing air through the LEGO case. The next time I rebuild the case, I will be installing another 12 fans, as an intake, on the other side of the case. (Oh, there are 3 motherboards IN the case, along with all the required hardware.)

These fans have a temp sensor, that will speed up the fan if it gets too warm. I have 4 of them, on a Chevette sized radiator, with the sensor shorted out (runs at full speed) on a NF7. They are quite loud, in that configuration.

Yaya! The thread lives on.
