Who is Gonna Buy these Phi So I don't Have to

Idk, I think that's decently fair. The pcie version isn't all that common. Only seen them roll around once or twice. These are the 7200 series not 3100/5100/7100. I suppose they aren't as valuable after the mining craze though.

Not intending to be a buzzkill, but just a heads-up to anyone thinking about these.... I can't see any of the ratings on those fans but those could be 3-5 amp fans.... which means they would be pulling between ~35-60 watts each so factor that in. There are nidecs and Deltas like these which only pull about 12 watts but I dunno how effective those would be for these cards.... possibly in pull style vs push style it might be more effective but I dunno

anyway, if they're 5 amp fans they'll cut your finger off if you accidentally get it caught in there so keep the fan grills on! :)

as someone who has many 3+amp fans they are fine unless you actually poke them. the smaller ones are better as they only take off some skin. With that said i once jabed a 120mm 5amp fan with my toe and lost the nail

these cards are only 220w so its not terribly difficault to cool them with less dangerous stuff
