Title: Looking for reco on uber-quiet fans for S9/S7 Post by: Und3rd0g on September 07, 2017, 12:50:08 AM I am interested in any recommendations on super quiet replacement fans for the Antminer s9 and/or S7. Thanks!

They require not only high CFM but also have that flow delivered at high pressure to overcome the internal resistance and that = LOUD. Search the s7 and s9 threads, this has been discussed to death in them.
However, that said: At least the s7's can be under volted/under clocked and that in turn leads to fairly quiet operation. Search for Sidehack's thread un undervolting the s7.

I guess this puts my quest for the perfectly silent miner to bed. ;) Title: Re: Looking for reco on uber-quiet fans for S9/S7 Post by: QuintLeo on September 07, 2017, 11:58:44 PM R4 is your "quiet" miner option.
S7 and S9 need too much airflow (unless you GREATLY undervolt the S7 like the Sidehack mods did) to be able to survive with a "quiet" fan outside of the Arctic or Antarctic.

Lol - I've become fond of the S7-LN. They make for quiet space heaters as Fall weather enters my area. |
