Reddit mentions of ARCTIC F12 Silent - 120 mm Case Fan, Extra quiet motor, Computer, Almost inaudible, Push- or Pull Configuration, Fan Speed: 800 RPM - Black/White

I now have 2 intake and 2 exhaust with my CPU fan pointed towards my top exhaust for a small amount of neg pressure.
Question: Its my understanding that the side with the logo is the intake side. But when I stick my hand in my pc to feel airflow, half the fans feel reversed???

The specific fans im using are: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQ2YDCY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -- The fan on that CPU was replaced with this fan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0119T0D4I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 --- So that the cooler master fan is the frontal intake and the other fan is the CPU fan.

Then I have these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6S10KK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 --- one intake and one exhaust.

I just built this for something to keep me out of trouble, didn't really expect to make any money, maybe free heat in the winter. So far I'm pleasantly surprised it's making ~$40 weekly (at rates as of today, lol) after deducting power costs. No sure how long it will last at that rate, but I'm having fun. Got one more 8pin (to dual 6pin) corsair type 3 cable arriving next week, then will be able to throw another card in there (PSU has six 8pin ports). Making about 100+ RVN daily right now, probably gonna look for newer coins once in awhile and just HODL them all and see what happens...that's my stragegy so far.

I was very surprised how well the 3 front fans do only being 800 to 1000 RPM, then again I don't have monster GPUs in this rig, just 6pin 1060s. Heat did NOT increase after closing the top, BUT I had to remove the front door because it cut down airflow too much and things heated up very quickly. Mining X16 seems to keep heat / power usage down I guess? Haven't mined much else yet, I suspect ethash might be a different story.

EDIT: The four 1060 GPUs are only pulling 330 watts at the wall...pretty sweet. I haven't mined in years, I was predicting a lot higher.

For a budget option, Arctic F12 silent fans run at 800 RPM and are $7 a piece. You could also buy the higher RPM PWM ones and just adjust the fan speed in the BIOS to a setting that is to your sound liking.

ah okay, I'll give it a go I think.


Would this be suitable as a rear exhaust fan?

Thank you for your time, I really do appreciate your help!

I reckon one of these fan at the back of the pc would contrast with the black components really nicely.

IMO your build is good to go with a MSI B450M Gaming Plus motherboard, gold rated 550w psu, and a different cooling solution. As a first time builder I would not recommend going with an all in one liquid cooling solution as cheap as the one you have marked, or even liquid cooling at all. Instead I would recommend a quality aftermarket air cooler like a noctua nh-d15 or a be quiet! dark rock 4 for your 3600. Also for cooling, your case has space for 6 120mm fans. I suggest getting at least two to intake air through your front panel. These dirt cheap fans have done the job for me quietly for over a year now: https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-Silent-Ultra-Quiet-Configuration/dp/B0119T0D4I/ref=sr_1_6?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhdTqBRDNARIsABsOl9-GoBBs8uxsBkuOLBNEd5UClGx_eMwhBSSoVZDzPerqvj95uVDGen4aAl6zEALw_wcB&hvadid=327169894500&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9027875&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=10740546714904610960&hvtargid=aud-649564993678%3Akwd-299624337774&hydadcr=18005_9842187&keywords=pc%2Bcomputer%2Bfan&qid=1565894594&s=gateway&sr=8-6&th=1
