Update Large review of Finksy/J4bbrwock server psus compared to ATXpsu-photos up

[generalt]

the 90mms are 22 with grills  they burn 25 watts vs 60 watts and they are not anywhere as loud as the 3pack oem screaming deltas.

How do you power the 90mm fans?  A separate PSU or do they attach directly to one of the plugs from the stock fans?  I know kilo plugged the two wires from the 180mm fan to a PCIe.

they could use the plugs in the unit but you would need to cut an end off one of the fans .

I just used a pcie with bare wires it was plugged into the breakout board.  two fans are under 25 watts the stock fans are 60 watts

Can you include that in your pics when you're ready to post them please.  I'm not good when it comes to splicing wires and stuff.  Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

no worries will do.

here is the setting up of the fan power supply  pcie cables from finksy with 1 end for the 2880/2980 breakout board.

I left out stripping the wires


yellow is pos goes to red on the fan jacks
black is neg goes to block on the fan jacks



one wire is 16 awg it can carry 80 watts so 1 wire for 2 fans is much more then needed as these 2 fans only pull 25 watts
vs 60 watts for the oem screamers
note I folded the extra wires back and taped them off


these twist nuts will do  yellow or orange



the connected 3 pin fan jacks.


wtf is this for ?



black tape + short protection and strain relief



red tape more short protection and strain relief



assembled and would work at this point


so that does what?


and we tear some tp off the roll  and stuff the tube? on both ends



I left you all hanging with this shot some one ask me what is next?

[generalt]

LOL ok the wires seem to be pretty straight forward thanks for that, but I thought that they would get hard wired to the 90mm fans and not to a 3 pin terminal.  I guess I'm going to have to get a pair of those as well or can I just hard wire the fans right to the PCIe?

There's only one thing I use toilet paper for and I certainly don't hope you plan on using that toilet paper for the same purpose I use toilet paper.

well its obvious the tp is a critical part of the wiring harness so tell us already.... WHAT BRAND??

high end soft scott  


I need to put this on hold and write some stuff on the group buy. for the avalon 6's

[generalt]

So that's the good 2 ply stuff!  Scented or unscented?

Unscented cause my s-- don't stink!

yeah right.

Okay I got more photos.  like 20 of them.

okay get a box  this regional rate box a is close to perfect.

I use some duct foam/silver from frost king and  some aluminum tape

[generalt]

LMAO!  Don't keep us in suspense too long here!

[philipma1957]

look at post above  now wait for it
here it is the tp roll



and here is the other end og the pcie cable




that string is butcher twine  as the finksy/j4bberwock board does not attach to the bigger vent holes in the 2980



zip ties work but I did not have any long thin ones the back of these boards have exposed 12 volt power so non conductive ties are needed.

[philipma1957]

roll of butcher twine



the fans and the fan filters



ypu only need 1 of the two parts the none filter part.  these are a perfect match same company





black pipe cleaners really work well



these labels face in

[judypug1956]

spacer for the photos

[philipma1957]

take shape the slit on the side will be taped




those grills will protect you from the blades which will move at 3500 rpm  loud but not insane like the stock fans.


note the pcie to the fans is protected and on the other end the roll of tp blocks air so that all the air hits the psu




the back of the breakout board has live 12 volt power




this flap shields that back of the breakout board

[judypug1956]

photo spacing for neat order

[philipma1957]

tape air leaks



and 75 db screamers are now 53 db

oem fans use 60 watts to move 180cfm

these fans use 25  watts to move 156 cfm

The 2980's were tested at 2400 watts for 2 days  2 ½ avalon6's

Nice Phil thanks!  Functionality and safety.

[philipma1957]

Nice Phil thanks!  Functionality and safety.

 The easiest upgrade to this is  use an almost empty roll of bounty paper towels instead of the next to empty roll of Scott tp.

And saving 35 watts 24/7/365 adds up. 25 kwatts a month at 10 cents = 2.50 in 1 month and  30 bucks a year.

plus those freaking screaming fans have been halted.

I will revisit this mod as I have a real upgrade in mind. (fan speed controller} so that these do 3000 rpm not 3500 rpm


I also want to push the psu at closer to 2800 watts it would be nice  if this mod can do 2800 watts at 3000 rpm.

Still 2400 watts at 3500 rpm is okay.

Great minds think alike -  .
I did something very similar with 92mm fans.  I will upload some pics.  I also found a good use for the monster 180mm fans.
