Looking for waterproof PC fans.

[DCWarhound]

I'm looking for some waterproof pc fans around 80mm,the reason for this is because they will be mounted inside the canopy of a fishtank (which is wet due to condensation) to drop the temperature a few Celsius (it's hovering around 30-32celsius,i've been able to cool it down with frozen water bottles but they aren't a long term solution since the temperate will keep increasing and then dropping again when i add them which will cause stress to the fish)

I would go the chiller route but i'm not paying 10k+.


I also posted this on a fish forum,the reason i posted it here is because i hope that someone might have come across some by chance while buying some PC accessories.

You'll need special fans, most PC fans won't last long in high humidity especially with condensation involved

Instead of pc fans, why not just buy aquarium chiller fans?

You can inquire with these guys below:

I saw that CoolerMaster's fans worked well with water... However I am not sure how they would fare when submerged :/

They he said about putting fans into a fish tank . I was trying to work out why someone would want to build a pc into a fish tank (you could just buy a cheap case for cheaper) It took me a while to realise that he was wanting to cool water for fish XD

This was probably mineral oil or Deionized Water. but even deionized water will cause problems in the long run.

Could you not have a radiator outside the system (fish tank) with a pump system to cool the water?
