Title: regulating the speed of Antminer fans Post by: QuentinA on April 14, 2016, 02:01:59 PM Hello,
Here it is, I’ve purchased a 4 gpu rig recently, the heat dissipation isn’t bad but could be better. I have a few antminer fans I would like to put in a push/pull configuration, but when I plug them they go 100%, is there any clean way (IE not a resistor soldered on the wire) to regulate the speeds? Cheers PS : I'd rather not plug them on the MOBO as they suck up a lot more power then the usual PC ones :) Title: Re: regulating the speed of Antminer fans Post by: philipma1957 on April 14, 2016, 02:05:43 PM Hello, Here it is, I’ve purchased a 4 gpu rig recently, the heat dissipation isn’t bad but could be better.

thanks for the info, but on the extension cord you linked it's just an extension cord, didn't you mean to put a power plug from the psu on the other side? (something of that sort => http://www.conrad.fr/ce/fr/product/972202/Cble-Y-ventilateur-PC-Akasa-4x-ventilateur-PC-mle-3-ples-1x-alim-IDE-mle-4-ples-015-m/ ) If not, should I go mobo => extension => speed variator => fan ? Thanks for your help anyways mate Title: Re: regulating the speed of Antminer fans Post by: adaseb on April 15, 2016, 08:24:30 AM I got a S4 fan plugged into one of my mobo's, just had to set the speed to like 10% in the bios .
Don't run these types of fans on 100% because they carry too much current and might melt the pins on the motherboard. If the fans are identical then you can always easily wire them up in series, most fans should spin at 6V's. |
