Title: Need Recommendation What's the quietest, most power miner for use in home-office
Post by: mike029 on November 04, 2015, 01:16:53 PM
Hello all. I've seen this question asked over a year ago https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914006.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914006.0) and was hoping that there is a newer solution to this question.  I'm looking to buy a miner and want to know what miner can I run in my home-office that will be quite?  It needs to run on 110 volt as I"m in the US.  A friend is running a SP20 down-clocked to 1.3 and it is still a bit loud.  I'm running two Rockminer R-box 100's.  They are quite by not producing much. 
Thank you in advanced for your recommendations.

SP20 is not really a quiet miner.   Avalon 4.1 is most quiet factory made and you can down clock it a lot, but it's a little higher priced miner the say S5.   Some run S5's on lower freq and do fan mod's.

It really depends on if you are willing to mod.  Phil has a thread on making S7's quiet.  So really all depends.

I will teach you how to get it to be quiet.

if you are usa based I can send you some muffler material. I have a lot left over.

and the s-7 batch 4  is a screaming bargain at 3.43 coins plus a bit more for shipping.

you can under clock them to  3600gh- 4000gh lower the fans use the muffler and they are very quiet.

Thanks for the replies. I have 2 Evga 1300 G2 psu's laying around that I could use.  Will the S-7 Batch 4 run on 110?

did you put the order in when I said to?

the s-7 batch 4 sold out and now you have the

the s-7 batch 6  it cost more btc 4.00 vs 3.43 and it ships on  dec 17 the batch 4 was shipping in nov.

I really hope you listened and ordered the  batch 4 when  I said to .

Basically if you did you saved about .6 btc and the s-7 batch 4  will hash at 4660gh

the s-7 from batch 6  is a different design and will hash at 4050gh.

No
I did not.  I just got back into town and just read the post.  :'(  Should I be concerned about the different design for batch 6 and does it change anything with respect to noise and modifying?
