I'd recommend the Sennheiser HD series, but they plateau around the HD650. These are a bit out of the price range, but the other models in that series are also good. If you want something comparable to the HD650s, but at a lower price, the Beyerdynamic DT880s are a good choice. If the budget...

Delta fans are some of the best fans around in terms of reliability. They're commonly used in industrial systems, server racks, and sometimes even laboratory fume hoods. That one is the right voltage for a PC, so it should work fine if the wires are in the right order on the connector. I would...

Most Corsair fans are just fine, but may have issues over 30C. The ML series is fine at higher temperatures, but they have other issues if they aren't set up properly. Over 30C, you really should start looking at fans with dual ball bearings.

That cooler should work fine. It's not as good, but is perfectly adequate. For lower noise, I'd still recommend getting the Noctua, though. With that said, noise isn't linear. That unit should still be quiet enough that you won't hear it over the GPUs.

I wouldn't personally trust that PSU for anything. I'd recommend checking out the PSU tier list and picking something from the C tier or better. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/986897-psu-tier-list-30/

Running the fans 24/7 is usually fine, but it depends on the fans. Some are dramatically more reliable than others. Which fans are we talking about here, and what temperature is your room/computer case?

If you connect them to your motherboard, almost certainly. Some motherboards have issues with speedfan, but that's really rare these days.

I would definitely back it up however you can before proceeding. The damage may not have been limited to the PSU, and it's better to play it safe in this sort of situation. Regarding a replacement PSU: If you aren't constrained to a 1U rack slot, get a good ATX PSU, and then use a multimeter to...

I would recommend avoiding the ML series because the bearings can be destroyed if bios isn't set up right. You are correct about the board only having 5 headers. You will need at least 1 x two-way splitter to cover the 6 total fans. I would recommend the Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 high speed PWM...

That cooler is really bad. Like... REALLY bad. Check the review here: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cooler-master-masterair-g100m-cpu-cooler,5494-2.html Regarding installation, it appears to be a plain air cooler with a standard mounting procedure. It functions exactly like a stock air...
