Does anyone have a suggestion on a fan to use to cool 4 boards on the backplane? (Dimensions? Brand? type? Etc?)
Like a lot of you I will be overclocking the boards and would like to add a fan to them. Would rather have the fan before the unit arrives.

So, looking for a relatively silent fan (Miners are in home) to go with my yet to be purchased silent Power Supply. Grin

Thanks,

Not sure if it would provide enough airflow for these Bitfury chips, but I'll be trying some Nexus Real Silent 120mm fans. It's cheap, it has good static pressure considering it's moderate speed of 1100RPM, and it's pretty quiet even at full speed. SPCR has been using it as their reference 120mm fan for at least seven years now, for good reason.

Scythe Gentle Typhoon would be another good option.

+1 for the Scythe's. I will be using more than a few of those.

I was thinking of putting a desk fan next to the boards to blow the hot air away from the boards..
Is there any reason we shouldnt be using a desk fan?

More power usage. You will allready need a PSU for the boards, so why not use 3/4 pin fans.
