Hi I'm keen to know how you control your fans. I would like to optimize my airflow setup and therefore install a 6x fan row. They are all molex powered (some cheap china fans I guess) and chain linked to a single molex adapter. Sure I could connect it directly to my PSU but then I got 100% (too noisy, not efficient). I could use Speedfan tool but therefore I have to connect it directly to my board. Nothing happening when I do that and is it even possible regarding watt if I connect 2 rows à 6 fans (12 total) directly? How do you manage the fan speed of your rig fans? Or should I just buy an external fan adapter like this: https://goo.gl/DoKM67 and connect with an adapter my 2 fan rows? Maybe also switch the fans to those: https://goo.gl/wFZxpuHere is the picture of my fans: https://imgur.com/a/nLBLz

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I've never had a fan for mine, they run at 55'C at 37% from their own GPU fans.
Being in UK it's pretty cold here and don't really need cooling.
Also using the AMD Crimson BETA blockchain driver it really does keep your heat in the GPU down as well as the power cosumption.
If you can tweak it before with what's available then get a fan if you still can't keep the heat down.

Thank you for your kind answer. Well I'm not so concerned about my temps, think they are still good on my rx580s and also got some reserves left. But the fans came along with the rig so I'll give it a shot and see how much I can benefit or not However I just don't know what's the best way to control the fans, you think it would work with a small fan controller and chainlink all the fans to one channel? Since psu not possible (no control, 100%) and on connected to the board they won't start.

Box fan, cheap, easy to replace, lot's of airflow and more effective than messing with a bunch of small fans that don't do as good of a job at dissipating heat from around the rig.

Out of curiosity, how much power do those two fans pull?

Don't know why there is no love at all for the fans I replaced the cheap china fans and did some hours of testing. Fan settings of gpu were on automatic, cards temperture went down at least 15 degrees without changing any settings. Even more impressive since the gpu fans were on 40% and run now on 25%. So overall the impact is even bigger. As soon as I can move the rig to a different location I'll set the gpu fans around 50% and should see easy temps below 50 degrees for my rx580. https://imgur.com/TbNrG2p
