Hey everyone
I’m using a Lian Li Water Cooling Kit for my Hydro ASICs 12KW with the Antminer S21 Hydro.
Right now, it has two knobs to control the heat exchange speed, but I want to set up a thermostat to automatically keep the cooler running at a constant +35°C. The ambient air temps are all over the place right now, swinging from -10 to +10 °C in just a day.
Are there any ready-made thermostat systems for the Lian Li out there?
If not, has anyone come across any guides on how to create something that can adjust those two knobs based on the water temperature?
you could look at car thermostats, it opens or closes depending on a set temperature, usually 90c but im sure you could find a 35c one, maybe some DIY pipe, could work
You do NOT want to be throttling the coolant flow! You need to control the fan speeds. Just get a PC fan controller - they have a temp sensor and change fan(s) speed to hold whatever temp you set on it. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/BESTLIFE-Controller-Computer-Temperature-Cooling/dp/B08HMRDLT1
Just make sure it can handle the current that the fans draw.
Ya that would be a lot better, actually, in their upgraded 12KW model they have fan speed control built-in, it has 4 modes as follows:
OP, can you post a picture of the cooler? look at the front do you see any tiny buttons that can adjust the above settings or is yours just flat?
