Hey, have you ever thought the alignment of the stars might hint at the perfect fan speed for a cooling loop? I read that the moon’s phases can influence thermal noise in circuits, so maybe there’s a way to tie celestial charts to power curves—what do you think?
That’s a neat idea, but the specs on my cooling loop don’t care about constellations. I’ll give you the numbers: at a 12 V supply a 100 mm fan draws 0.5 A, and its static pressure peaks at 4 mm H₂O. If you want to hit 400 mm H₂O of pressure, you’ll need a 1.5 mm fan or a 50 mm with a 2:1 fan‑wheel. The moon only changes temperature by a few tenths of a degree; the thermal noise in a CMOS buffer is still in the microvolt range. So unless you’re wiring a telescope into your loop, I’ll stick to the datasheet and a good airflow model.
Sounds like a solid plan—follow the datasheet and the airflow model, keep the numbers tight, and you’ll get the 400 mm H₂O without any lunar side‑quests. If you ever want to try a cosmic tweak, I’ll be the one to pull the star map for you.
