I bought 3 120mm mining fans that top out at 6k rpm which are 12V at 1.60A and I have 2 options on where to plug them in at.
There's the Corsair H150i Pro and directly to the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge Motherboard.
They will be mounted to the Corsair's 360mm radiator. I do not want to overload my hardware but I do want my rig to have that extra air if needed running a 5950x and RX 6900XT.
The case I'm putting it all into is pictured below
@gettheclicker -
6,000 RPM fans for mining? Does it lift off your table, lol?
Have you considered liquid cooling?
Have you considered how NOISY that box is going to be with three 6K RPM fans going?
Hope you have a good pair of noise canceling earphones and no roommates.
I prefer AIO, I know the custom kits are better in many ways and have many more options in the way of cooling but I am cursed when it comes to ANY kind of pipe.
I tried to modify the exhaust on my car, way harder than I thought, took too long, and didn't hold together for very long at all.
Attempted to unclog my bathroom sink, snapped the pipe in half instantly.
Looked at my toilet funny and the damn thing exploded from the top.
I think I'll stick with AIO's and heatsink coolers.
Yes, I understand how loud it will be. My DDR3 setup had mining fans on it for a short time before I sold it to upgrade to this DDR4 rig.
If you want them to run at full speed, you could hook them up directly to the PSU, but then, you have no power over them, no way of monitoring them etc.
On my Z170, I have all my fans connected to the motherboard and I use the Bios to control my fan speeds.
Turns out I may not be using them. Still tinkering but as of now they don't fit in the case with the radiator but I have a few ideas.
