Now the money is free, and so the people will be
If you have vibrations, put some foam under the fan.  cheap and easy to find, the foam "carpets" for kids.  Maybe you have too many gpu's for the size of the room/air...36c is too hot to live in !  idk homedepot has this https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.20-inch-high-velocity-air-circulator---greyblack.1000770300.html
or (but 200$ lol) https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.4-inch.1000745619.html just put some ducts on it.  i dont know about the noise though.

I use one of these but not  sure if you can get it in Canada but it works great on top of my Script miner with a open case with two stock fans it is a lot quieter to run .

there is a cheaper version when i bought i was gonna use it in a window.

If its -10C outside you really shouldn't need any fans, the high pressure/low pressure should force the cold air inside your room. Maybe open the door to your room so there is cross ventilation.

Can't you just wait another month until the snow falls and -30C weather ?


Also I use the same crappy $25 fans as you and they never vibrate. You can take them apart and lubricate the bearing and see if it fixes any issues.

I added a filter on intake to prevent the snow from coming in and one without for exhaust (but i want to put one on both to sorta hide the Boxfan during the winter).

I have to run them on max for the farm not to overheat. They hum like a old fridge and they barely pull any air through the filter. One is only 1 month~ old as the one before just died.

The farm get at >80C with near maxed gpu fan speed with -10C outdoor temp.

What is your indoor temp ?

36C at -3C Outdoor, with both fans at speed 3, one out of two filtered. GPU fans at 75 to 100% and temps are 80C~

I've seen those window fans at homedepot and rona, all over Canada.
They may however be off season, so something you would need to search for.

and a less cool looking cheaper option

Ah yes, i got one of those bionaire. They basically don't do anything, it has about 1/10th the CFM of a box fan or 1/25th of a metal one and near negligible pressure, But while they are useless at extracting heat, they are useful for blowing air in between GPUs.

I'm currently venting with two 20" plastic crapbox, you know the box fans you get for 15-20$ at... well everywhere. I'm looking for an upgrade, because these fans vibrate like crazy but move very little air, most likely due to their horrible static pressure. (Wind blowing against basically stop these)

I mine in an appartment currently so i have to minimize low shaking vibration to not annoy the neighbors.

The only thing i can find is the Lasko b20725 20" box. I would have to import it from the US. Takes time and money. Worth it?

-So is there an alternative i missed that i could get better/quicker from Canada?

-In the case not, if i am to import and pay a hefty premium anyways, is there something better i can get? (Good airflow and pressure, setting with lowest noise/shaking as possible)
