Great looking unit! Any temp data?

sorry I forget to write that :(


-94*C unloaded / -74*C on 315 dummyload

Sound level 57 dB (loaded unit).

was that a 14AWG power cable? or 12AWG? it looks so thin ..ehhehe

Fantastic job!!!

Question on the fan noise: With all of those fans doesn't it get loud?
Again very nice work!!!!

Sorry I don't know whats AWG. We use in Europe measure in mm2 for cables (surface of copper in 1wire in cable). That's 3x 1.5mm2 cable.

Yes, all those fans produce a bit of sound, but as You know it's almost impossible to make 100% silent unit ;(.

Looks incredible and clean. As always, wonderful work! :up:

Gotta love a 24/7 cascade :up:

great looking project there!

and just add 2 6 port fan control units....when not benching...one could reduce the noise level by at least 20 to 50 percent. (on fans only - them compressors are loud enough on their own - :D )
