![]() ![]() since then they can adjust the cable trough a DIY cable-job. allowing you to expand on it, or use as short of a cable as you need. ![]() They can even use female-female cables, to make the Fan-hub universal. Though to make it work even better, by designing their own PCB's in "Kicad"Īs they can design it how they want. This would indeed be good for prototyping. (if anyone is gonna do this, dont forget to drill away the trace along the tacho pins, you dont want that to be there.) if you use PWM fans you can just bring in a +12v line from molex too. You can buy 3-pin or 4-pin fan headers off of just about any parts retailer (such as digikey).Ĭombine that with some creative soldering, or some of that 'parallel strips' prototyping board and you have yourself a fan splitter for as many fans as you want. I have like 4 extras new in box just waiting for more to die. All the ones I have running now, I've had previously fail on me. I have used at least 5 different hubs in everything from PCs to room transfer fans to network cooling etc and so far every one of them have failed. More importantly these have been in there for 7 years now running 24/7 so that poor reliability argument he maintains gets thrown out with the trash. Speaking of fan splitters/hubs, I guess nobody ever told Jake about those Swiftech 8-way PWM splitters I have four of them in my rig to run and monitor the 30 fans I have and they do an absolutely amazing job. That cardboard has stayed in there ever since and the machine ran fine for years. Oh the irony and memory - this recalls my experience with my first Windows 95 build where the cheap case I was using was so badly aligned I had to take the MB standoffs out to make it fit and then use a piece of cardboard under the mobo to prevent it from shorting. So if anything I would say it is a marginally better candidate than polyamide tape in this application. And plastic tape is generally more rugged than polyamide tape. Honestly, I think that one has bigger issues at hand if one's server case gets warm enough for the glue used for this tape to struggle. (It is just plastic tape, there is nothing that makes it specifically "electrical", and it should honestly not be marketed that way either due to its ease of melting and general lack of fire suppression, and the resulting smoke is not that nice either.) ![]() It is a decent thermal insulator if anything. I myself use it to shield surrounding components from getting heated during hot air reflow of SMD components. Same applies to polyamid tape vs sheets.)Īlso, polyamid tape wouldn't help with cooling. As a crude example, cutting through a book with a knife is easier than a similarly thick plank of solid wood. (Layering tape isn't a solution either, since it doesn't provide the same bulk. ![]() (Even a pin occasionally bumping onto the same spot will wear through.)īut one can get polyamid sheets that are of sufficient thickness to not noticeably wear over time. However, it is not all that robust and pins can scrape their way through it rather trivially. (Kapton is a brand of polyamide tape.) But I don't suspect that LMG has such in their office, and most people don't really think about it even existing. Polyamide tape is indeed a good thing for this type of application. Other than that: Nice setup, iam already jelly. 180mm width, 30 metres length for ~30 bucks.Īlso PLEASE dont use electrical tape on devices which are going to be "permanent provisional".Įlectrician tape uses to get small and the glue janks up after a year or two with heat around it. Its fire/heat resistant, non electrical, pretty small formfactor, easy to cut and lay out and also helps with cooling, by beeing able to transfer heat. Why dont you use Kapton tape for the "buffering"? I specifically created that account, just to tell you: ║ Front IO_ ║ LG blu-ray drive & 3.5" card reader, _║ ║ CPU cooler _ ║ Be Quiet be quiet!
