Title: ADVICE - Powerful replacement 120mm fan for miner ????
Post by: bilabonic on September 21, 2016, 02:18:08 PM
Hi All

As some might know i run a few Dragon/LKETC miners and they contain 2 fans for cooling.

A variable speed top fan (120mm/38mm -4 wire) and a smaller lower fan (120mm/25mm -2 wire)

I recently replaced a lower fan for one of these and it is ABSOLUTE rubbish compared to the airflow of the older fan !!!

New 120mm 2400RPM Black System Computer PC Coolant Cooling Case Fan | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231625394926?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

The OLD fan is generic LKETC one, 12v and rated as 0.6a, therefore it is 7.2W...

Is there ANYTHING compatable to this ?

Or can i 'FRIG' a bigger 38mm fan to run at full speed at all times ?

Cheers

Sanyo Denki SAN Ace 120 3.0 Amp 12 Volt 120mm PWM Fan 224 CFM

I have this with my Avalon 6.0 miner and it's working great!


edit: Or for a second choice there is the Delta fan which Tupsu posted above.

Sanyo is a little more powerful with 224CFM vs. Delta 210CFM.

Cheers guys, i have no problems with replacing the server type 4 wire fans...

I require a 2 pin high ouput fan (or a way to 'frig' a 3 or 4 wire to run at full speed.

I am based in the UK as well.

Cheers
