SEEDS are INNNNN
now i need to get this boxs ventilation setup right.
this is what i found out. i followed
this guide to help me calculate how much CFM i need. turns out i need 20.95 total... each 80mm fan is rated at 31. ok so clearly its my ventilation setup.
can anyone here seriously think of whats going on?
Well if the seeds are here, let's get this temp thing figured out!
The best way to reduce temperature is to exhaust out the ceiling and intake through the floor. IMO, one fan on each side of the powerstrip exhausting hot air directly off of the lights will dramatically reduce the temperatures inside the box.
Notes:
The more points of electrical connection, the more heat. Isolated electricity ventilates more easily than when spread out.
If all fans are used for exhaust, more air will be moved and the life of the fans will be reduced.
If one fan is installed as intake and one exhaust, less air will be moved and the life of the fans will be increased.
The best method of introducing cold air to the box is by placing the intake in the floor. Next best is on the walls at floor level.
Questions:
Are the fans on the sides of the box intakes or exhausts?
What is the ambient temp outside the box?
What is the temp with just the speakers running? Speakers & Fans?
What is the temp with just the lights running? Lights & Fans?
What is the temp with the lights and speakers? Lights, Speakers, & Fans?
Ventilation is tough, especially in DIY cabs. We're here to help, msh!
