Title: Avalon ASIC powerful noise fan replacement, can it feasible?
Post by: leiyplane on March 21, 2013, 07:04:00 AM
Use four series connected 12CM 76CFM quiet fan to replace one noise Delta FAN.

Can it applicable?

The low noise fan specification:

Air Flow: 76CFM

Speed: 1600RPM

Bearing Type: Hydraumatic

Dimensions: 120*120*25

Get some Zalman cooler, will do the work even better, I replaced them in mine with Thermaltake

Here you have a list of 120mm fans:

Just sort them by noise (dBA) there are some ultra quiet :)

if you want to replace the fan, please use ONE 12038(or 12044) size, 4PIN PWM, 12V , with at least 3600RPM maximum speed.  ball bearing is recommend.

a 1200rpm 12025 fan (or 2 in series ) will of course kill the machine.

12038fan at 3600 RPM? Oh, my god! How the noise will be!
Looks like a water cooling is necessary if I got a machine!

For future reference those number are decoded as:

"If you want to replace the fan, please use ONE 120mm x 38mm (or 120mm x 44mm) size, 4PIN PWM, 12V , with at least 3600RPM maximum speed.  ball bearing is recommend.

a 1200rpm 120mm x 25mm fan (or 2 in series ) will of course kill the machine."

treat it as a server or workstation. this is NOT a HTPC or something like that.

if (only if) we build a 1U blade, we will certainly put 4 or more DF04056B12U (4056size, 13900rpm)on it.

Have a bunch of units with this type fans... Oh my got, this will be impossible to stay for long in room with it :) Especially if ambient temp will be high :)

worthy bump i had the same question and some more things to add, currently moding some miners so they dont sound like a jet plane taking off...
Question has anyone managed to locate 120mm fans that have a rpm of 3600RPM cause i cant find them anywhere.... ?

What fans is everyone using in the avalon am looking to change my to much noise so i need 3000 rpm fans? or 1200 to 2000 super quiets will work?

actually they replied already few posts above; 1200 rpm is too less, you will kill your hw !
