12 Delta fans!

This is with all 12 Delta fans running. Enjoy!
This is a water cooling setup for a custom computer! There are three Black Ice SR1 480 radiators under those 12 fans.
Since the Deltas are very effective at moving tons of air (theoretically a maximum of 3000 cubic feet/minute with 12 fans!), we wanted to use them, but they are so noisy. Thus the Baffle Box was designed to absorb the noise and route the air flow through baffles.

those Delta fans are mostly used for servers, where you don't even have to think about noise, and you surely NEVER want your server(s) to overheat and always stay as cool as possible, so yes, those fans are neccessary, and this is WHY servers are kept in a thick-walled sound-dampened room most of the time.

Isn't the point of watercooling to be quiet?

[@Lamaredia]

No, the point of watercooling is to cool better than regular cooling.

[@Eggsr2bcrushed]

Lamaredia IK that, but it's usually meant to be quiet too.

[@fegga638]

Water cooling isn't necessarily quiet. If quietness is your primary goal, then you might as well go with a NH-D15.

[@Eggsr2bcrushed]

sippa A lot of times you can afford to run a slower and quieter fan on a water cooling rad since water cooling is so much more efficient at transferring heat, therefore is better at cooling, and often quieter too.

[@Lamaredia]

Eggsr2bcrushed That depends on the amount of overclocking that you will be doing. The 12 delta fans are probably a BIT too much, but when you overclock the amount of heat will increase quite a lot.

+Matthew Duma and this thing doesnt go into a server rack either. if it was to go into a proper server rack, you would not give a flying fuck about noise, and you would certainly not limit the cfm by creating this pisspoor "airduct". on top of that its fairly overkill. i ran a desktop for a long time with around 850-900W heat that had to be dissipated and i used 2x240 and 1x1080 and it would run silent with just 4 fans running 60%. you dont need to go overboard with deltafans like this because it will not give you any benefit whatsoever. you just end up using more power for 0 gain

Hi, very nice setup. I like that custom box a lot too! So I have one (only one) delta fan and I keep finding that my fan controller over time gets weaker and cannot run the fan at full RPM. I have gone through two fan controllers, both were 6-channel 30w output, the most powerful I could find. I have a 1,000w power supply and plenty of power.

Set up a "J" shaped intake vent, and set it up outside (The hook of the J facing downwards, so chance of ingestion of rainwater or other particles is minimized), and it will perform much better.

[@FATASSSOVIET]

That fan noise though

[@KZHX]

Can someone tell me why there is a large circle in the middle? Surely it would be better if this was smaller so it can move more air right?

[@blackopsbiffen]

y'know, I needed an extra fan so I took one from a dead psu and on full power that thing was crazy strong and fast, I almost sliced my finger when I tried it out. I had to place a fan grill on that thing, and you are running delta fans without grills xD Crazy crazy! Btw, you should try to place that box of cooling outside of your house somewhere and do like LTT did and have the cooling from the outside of the house :D

[@audinos4827]

[@rebel3353]

definitely less noise but this would move a shit ton more air than 1 little $20 one

***** Unless you put a ring on her HOHO

[@bait28]

it wouldn't box fans generate no static pressure. This generates quite a bit. with much greater cfm than a box fan could ever hope to achieve

[@l337pwnage]

Bait28 This guy claims a theoretical max of 3,000 CFM, a $16 Home Despot fan does 2500. I haven't looked for a better quality fan, but I wouldn't be surpised if there was one. The static pressure capability would be the main difference.

ol, I have a 120mm and 140mm fan in my system from delta, I pushed about 15,550 RPM off the 140mm and 18,950 off the 120mm... don't think I'll be putting my fingers in the fan blades at any time!!

[@bait28]

I can tell you for a fact you haven't done such a thing. Delta's 120mm fans NEVER have been manufactured above 7K RPM.

[@TheSoxmania]

depends on the voltage and the purity of the DC input... the fans work best on 18V with a filtered and choked regulated DC supply, the ripple must be less than 25mv for a good drive though, or the RPM is decreased... laos, the bearings have to be well greased... if not, the most you'll get is 10K and a popped controller!! and they can only be driven for so long at that voltage since the controller gets pretty hot after a few seconds... again... fingers and Delta fans don't mix!!!

[@bait28]

Note true. Have tested this long term. The fan at 18 v hit now where close to 18k with a lab power supply. Tested with multiple fans. Along with that they all burned through the controllers in 2 or so minutes. Also this doesn't exactly count as you are you of operating spec. The fans under lab conditions only safely operated up to 13.4 before losing its perfect switching between magnetic fields.

[@cardinaldriver]

[@bluedistortions]

wow, that's an awesome idea. radiator fans are really powerful, and you can get them for like $10 from junkyards.

[@LORFCASTER]

That first piece you wedge in must absolutely decimate air flow though. Fans at the opposite end of the small and only opening are being starved of air and will spinning at a higher RPM due to lack of air resistance (creating even more noise potentially). Very impressive amount of power, but going by the visuals, most of the fans are NOT, absolutely NOT, achieving even close to their potential. Just make sure that air flow is even to all fans. Visualize your device in quadrants.

[@harish2309]

[@SassyOnline]

Your computer isn't exactly a high end gaming build considering most builds use 600W of power on a 1000W PSU

[@harish2309]

The Podcast Gaming Most builds use a 1000W psu and draw 600W power. No and no. Too much time on overclocking forums might give you that idea, but things are efficient these days and a kick ass gaming PC needs no more than 500W at full load.
