Going with 2x engine cooling fans from a local carparts warehouse.

14" 2200rpm 80watt 12V - 530cfm, so 1060cfm total.
70$ new for both so fairly cheap, hopefully that is enough and if not a third will be added for 1590cfm total.


I tried these fans in the GPU days in 2012.  They are extremely fucking loud and they get very hot.  I had to disconnect them after a few days because they smelled like burning.  I don't think they are meant to be run all the time.  I used gable fans from home dept instead.  2200CFM.
Car radiator-fans do not spin every second your engine is on, only if the engine gets a little pushed and warm.
They are simply not meant for this usage.

Btw, like these setups, but I still like the ghetto 100 GPU 5870 setups better hahaha...
