I now have the capability to test PC components and other peripherals that I can’t properly test using my old workstation, which is just an entry-level laptop.

Initially, my budget fell short when it comes to the graphics card and other miscellaneous parts of the build like case fans and a decent aftermarket CPU cooler. Luckily, there is a ton of available used graphics card out there, albeit from cryptocurrency miners, that I can grab for a huge discount compared to buying a brand new one.

He also gave me 6 case fans that came from a mining rig and I figured, why not make a content about it while in the process of replacing my old case fans. So today, we’re going to find out if it’s ok to use mining case fans on your PC!
