[Closed] Legendaries review party of Spondoolies-Tech's SP20

[klondike_bar]

interested!

ohh.... nvm apparently im just some random hero

one day i shall be legend, just like will smith

[Biffa]

so a shout out to the legends testing please try the killer delta  fan and over clock the unit.


 I would love to see the user's show the over clock potential.  maybe a better fan for the under clock guy like my self.  for that matter maybe someone would use the super powerful monster delta fan for over clock .  it moves 25 percent more air then the stock fan.  mr teal is really handy with gear.

this is the fastest fan around.  would be the best for over clocking maybe??

Depending the application, the 210CFM QFR1212GHE will actually move more air than the 240CFM AFB1212GHE. Like a lot of fans tailored to moving air without restriction they have a shelf on their pressure-airflow curve, and once you get to around 0.5"H20 they quickly lose any advantage they have over a fan designed to really push air. The downside is the QFR is louder, spins faster and uses more power.

No what you want is the PFC1212DE-PWM or PFB1212UHE-F00 (if you want non PWM without a connector)

Dimensions:   120 x 120 x 38 mm
Power Leads Length:   300 mm
Rated Voltage:   12 V DC
Operating Voltage:   8.0 to 13.2 V DC
Input Current:   4.00 A
Input Power:   48.00 W
Speed:   7160 RPM
Max. Airflow:   252.85 CFM
7.160 m^3/min
Max. Air Pressure:   1.412 IN H2O
35.877 mmH2O
Noise:   66.5 dBA

Problem with the SP20 is it uses a custom header plug onto the controller card. Shouldn't be a problem for you chaps handy with a soldering iron though.

I have a pile of the TFC1212DE's which are the same fan, and I find them a bit of a waste. If you look at the datasheet, you'll see the same shelf I was describing with the AFB. Compare that with the QFR1212GHE where the P-Q curve is actually convex.
At around 14mmH20 the PFB is at 150CFM, while the QFR is a little lower but similar. From there the curves are pretty similar with a slight advantage to the PFB, but not one that justifies its more than twice as high power consumption.

The biggest benefit to the PFB1212 is you can get them used on eBay for a couple bucks each.

Yes but whats interesting here is the requirement is more of a case fan than of a heatsink fan or radiator fan, because the fan isn't facing a lot of restriction its just pulling air through the case and out the end.

They use a YS Tech FD1238UB Waterproof fan.



CFM is only 212 but its got a very mechanical noise to it.

I've been trying other fans with less noise but have yet to beat it for cooling. Got a few more fans coming in the next few days to test though.

You probably have a lot more sitting on shelves

I love that Spondoolies-Tech are doing something like this, they are literally giving something directly to the bitcoin community.

May be a while for my Legendary status but im happy with the 2 SP20s i have already.

Sent you a PM about if appropriate/approved power supplies will come with this unit.

Thanks!

You have to supply your own power supplies.

Okay. To remove the guess work can the OP list a few recommended power supplies so I can make arrangements to ensure I have what I need to run the unit successfully w
and supply a worth while review

Thanks in advance!

I grabbed one of these: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-1300G2-ATX12V-120-G2-1300-XR/dp/B00COIZTZM/

Hopefully that is sufficient.

[Bitchardo]

ewww, marketing. it reeks of desperation  
But of course, yes, I do wish I hadn't just been lurking and sniping accounts for all these years.
Anyway, s4 ftw. The 16 pack is the best deal available PERIOD

EDIT: I'm very curious whether or not goat claims one, he was still mining with cointerra gear last i heard

[smoothie]

Thanks Ognasty for your help.

Although after careful consideration I have let the OP know that I am declining the free unit due to my own time constraints during and around the holiday season.

I appreciate the gesture and will not forget it. You sir stand out from the crowd in the way you appear to do business with allowing reviews of your hardware free of charge.

Currently now there is ONE more available slot for a legendary member given I am declining the unit.

Aloha,

Smoothie

Thank you very much, Guy ! Looking forward to receiving a unit !

if legendary user bitpop tries to claim an sp20, know that he is an active racist on many forums, he's specifically antisemitic...

PS: Any estimates on the arrival time, btw? Just to confirm the arrival time to plan ahead for the holiday season.
