It's time to try a new pool. Can I still get in on merged mining here?

With a closed case rig that is air cooled there is really only one thing you should worry about, turbulence. You can have 20 fans in your rig but if they don't work together then you just wasted $200 on fans and degraded yours gpus god knows how far. A lot of people tend to think the more air they get into their box the better but with all those fans working against each other, you are just circulating hot air inside of your machine. Be aware of where you want the air to come in, where you want it to pass through and where you want it to exit.
When you put an intake fan on the front of the box, you need an equal fan exiting that same amount or more on the back to 'clean' the dirty hot air from the case. Think about it, you have X amount coming in absorbing H heat and Y amount coming out. If X is less than or equal to Y the there is always H left behind and will continue to build until you reach the system plateau and level off at an operational temperature.
There are numerous guides on the web about air turbulence in cases but your best bet is to do it yourself because our setups are completely diferent from anything most people have ever seen or dealt with.

Your best bet will probably be aqua, but it's extremely expensive.

free electricity ?

From the thread...

"Electric costs
The current rate of electricity is 4.09 Thai Baht or .1323 USD per MWH after all taxes. Electricity will need to be paid local in Thai Baht."

Worthless posts you make are worth nothing.  Go grab a book and learn to to read.

You should probably go read as well. Goat made a thread about having free electricity in a restricted are. Don't be a knob, you could have just answered his question and moved along.

Be sure to hold the fan when you blow it.  Spinning fans w/ compressed air is never a good idea.

Please make sure you do this, I'm quite surprised more people don't realize this.

Be sure to blow out the inside of the fan. If you have furry animals around, their hair likes to go up inside and can unbalance the fan greatly. After you get it out hit it with oil, not grease and not wd-40!

Oh! okay, I get it now. I don't use CGMiner, didn't know this was possible.

I'm not positive but, shouldn't you keep your fans at a static speed? If you have a target temp set for a fan control, wont the fan speeds be constantly changing? Wouldn't the constant variance in speed wear your fans faster?

I know from watching my cards with a static fan speed that the temps often dance around +/- 2°C. I would think that this would cause your fans to be constantly adjusting +/- 500-1000 rpms which would wear heavy on the fan.

There was an isp issue and fan speeds dropped; when the issue resolved, the fans soon back up, and the 5970 destabilized, and destroyed itself...fairly spectacularly. I woke up to a loud fan sounding like a blender with rocks in it, and the smell of burning circuits.

How does this happen? Are your fan speeds set to an auto setting? What are you using for overclocking?

I'm using CGMiner for overclocking and fan control. The top limit of the fans is 85% so it wasn't a running too fast issue.

And sometimes things just happen. Albeit not often, but it does happen. Given this card was also a little over a year old, with fans running >50% at most times it was bring used, it just may have just had too much.

I must be missing something...the fan died? or The fan slowed down when it stopped hashing and didn't speed up in time as the card started hashing again causing it to overheat?
