/g/ I've got a bunch of 10x10 mm fans, do you think that they can be useful inside a case?
>>53816167
A case for ants.
Maybe on a tiny thing like an OCd raspi
>>53816167
Ziptie them together at the corners to make a case.
>>53816306
this
or if you have a custom case with horrible airflow and tiny holes
>>53816343
It'll be a really small case, I have 20 of these things
>>53816363
What about slapping them over key components?
>>53816167
You got any specs on these ant fans?
>>53816167
get larger fans and use those small fans to cool your large fans for extra overclocking potential
>>53816415
3.3vdc, 0.9L/min, 17000rpms, 0.17w
they come from scrapped rc motors
Mount one on your southbridge
got an N64? Put one in for a tiny bit of extra cooling. My N64 would overheat if it was on for many hours because there's just a big stamped aluminum heatsink inside.
>>53816394
>What about slapping them over key components?
Got any SSDs? Some extra cooling could prevent them from thermal throttling
>>53816415
forgot that they also have a speed input, cfm is 0.03
>>53816480
no ssd but there are 4 heatsinks on my motherboard, no thermal paste on those but pads if it makes any difference
>>53816525
pads are good enough for small things
>>53816437
underrated
>>53816167
Where you get the fans from?
>>53816454
>17000rpms
holy crap those will be loud if you run them all at that speed
>>53816645
see
>>53816454
You can buy them from electronic parts catalogs too, iirc there's an even smaller version of these things with a stupid size, 0.8x0.8x15mm or something like this
>>53816648
they're really tiny, is more of a mosquito sound but you can control their speed
>>53816615
good to know because I also have random heatsinks and some thermal pad stripe
>>53816729
Fuu- that is right! I use hobby RC cars and thought they looked familiar.
>>53816167
Probably not but you can mail a few to me and I could use them.
>>53816525
At 0.03 CFM, they're incredibly unuseful in an application as large as a PC Case. Whether you've got 20 of them or not.
I mean, if you had a way to create long-enough tubes in front of each, you could PERHAPS get them to create enough pressure if you stacked a couple per tube to overcome resistance that you could spot cool things, but that's pushing it.
Install them in some dumb gamer stuff and resell it for profit. Install one inside a mouse pointing towards the user's hand through a grill you drilled and wire it into USB for power, and talk about how "COOLING FAN ACTION KEEPS SWEAT FROM RUINING YOUR HEADSHOTS!" or install them pointing at some tubes in an old amp or make a clamp so they'll slot around a vacuum tube, and sell them to audiophiles claiming some dubious science that "COOLER TUBES PRODUCE RICHER SOUNDS! YOUR TUBES MAY BE HOLDING BACK YOUR SYSTEM AND YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW IT!"
>>53817170
actually an air cooled controller sounds pretty good. I get sweaty hands
>>53816306
Or a stock pi 3

Is there any logical reason why you would fucking say that post is underrated? Has anybody expressed any kind of dissatisfaction or criticism at all against it? Are you delusional? Are you reading replies that are nonexistant? Maybe you come from communities with voting systems, but there is literally no way that you could know what other people think of that post you just replied to here. Maybe it's psychological. Maybe it's your own post you're replying to, like a 12 year old fucktard liking his own facebook posts thinking his swelling autism is going unnoticed. Maybe your self esteem depends on you tricking yourself into thinking someone out there thinks your post is worth something. Or maybe you are just a retard, the worst kind of retard, the one who thinks he's smart, the one who thinks he's the only one to have gotten the joke, to have understood the post. Well, guess what, faggot, that post is by no definition underrated so why don't you do the world a favour and go check out what the bottom of your toilet smells like?
>>53817314
Calm down Natasha, you are on your pms
Where these things are used?
>>53816167
Get a Raspberry Pi Zero and 3D print a scaled down full tower case for it. Use your kawaii mini fans accordingly.
>>53817347
old small hot things
>>53817305
I have one. Can confirm, gets hot as shit at idle.
>>53817365
Like what?
>>53816167
You can mount them 90 degrees to your motherboard and use them to improve airflow direction
>>53817347
probably devices that they tried to cool passively but somehow generated too much heat. Maybe home routers or monitors or tiny power supplies
>>53819107
Does it help with OC?
>>53819134
Found this on twitter m8 probably
Lots of things. Added cooling for vrms, South / North bridge, spot cool your ram, ssd, anything small that would typically get hot and is normally passively cooled. Best application for them I can think of would be to put some in your modem and router to provide active cooling without having to put gaping holes in the Shell.
>>53817328
Shut up, he's (>>53817314) got a point. That guys stupid attention whoring reply to that post is so fucking "original" and popular now, its disgusting. He's got the right idea calling out his shit.
That's so cute!
>>53817170
miniature flying done?
>>53816167
im assuming you might be able to use them in a case if you put a shit load of them next to each other. why do these exist? whats the purpose of them?
