Title: Antminer S5 Post by: lemmyK on March 30, 2015, 03:26:16 PM How to reduce the noise level at the miner....
I can snip the Fan too loud and use other fan? I have set off at 80 celsius. the noise level is crazy. :-\ Title: Re: Antminer S5 Post by: Amph on March 30, 2015, 03:43:36 PM you can replace it with something like artic f12 pwn and set it at 50% speed, should be enough for cooling the miner
if you are good at it, you can try to lower the voltage to 5v, this will lower the fan rpm Title: Re: Antminer S5 Post by: lemmyK on March 30, 2015, 04:17:04 PM but where can I connect externally to s5 I see a 4 pin connector .. but I do not know what is it for..?

This is a molex to 3 pin adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Phobya-4-Pin-3-Pin-Splitter-Connection/dp/B007S3T4O0/ You can get 4 pin versions as well. If you do that you can connect your replacement fan straight to the connector. It's a good option if your having trouble connecting the fan to the PCB.

I tried to put this out there on one side. went into full 3000 rpm but not enough, miner was 93 degrees and do not count ... and on the other side some corsair fan ... it did not help, miner overheats. I think it's from the engineering point of view is very very badly designed miner. The need for water cooling in the price of $ 250 but the postage is too 200usd ... but if they put that 4000 thousand speed fan for some sort of link a speed regulator, it would be a solution for smart people. I had something like this before many years the custom fan and heatsink for the video card .. beautiful speed controlled fan. to 3000, for example, could be maintained below 80 degree S5 |
