Title: Noise fans from Avalons, any ideas of cooling and bringing the noise down Post by: maupert on January 09, 2014, 11:50:55 PM Hi,
I received two Avalons from Chine this week. Put them in my basement next to my KNC and started mining. Only problem is, compared to the KNC they are very noisy. Can hear them up till the first floor bedroom. I can tell, the wife is not happy. >:( To keep my machines running I was thinking of cooling them another way so the fans run slower reducing the noise level. Has anybody any good ideas of is there a working solution? I was checking out gpu water coolers, they might do the trick. Thx in advance Title: Re: Noise fans from Avalons, any ideas of cooling and bringing the noise down Post by: pontiacg5 on January 09, 2014, 11:57:27 PM How much are you looking to spend? Water is expensive yet efficient, but those avalons are hot and quiet/cheap air cooling might not even be possible. They only dump 1kw a piece, right? That really doesn't seem too ridiculous to me, not for the size of the thing. Are you sure the fans aren't just cheap Chinese screamers? Would high end PC case fans fit?
I could make some comparatively cheap and simle custom waterblocks for your avalons, like I have for custom gpu chipsets in the past. You'll need to spend a lot extra on tubing, fittings, heat exchangers, and pumps etc. The heat could be useful though, you could plum the water to another room and just mount the radiator there. You'd need a lot less fan speed through a radiator.

Thx in advance Yeah I have an idea...why dont you locate your balls, put them back in your sack and tell your wife to cook you some dinner. That poor schmuck that thru his hard drive away with 10 million in bitcoins stopped mining because his wife complained too. Some poor bastard i bought my avalon from sold it to me and all of his bitcoins for 100$ each in september because his wife was bitching. So if I were you, Id tell your wife to fuckin deal with it or you will find someone who will...best free advice youll ever get Title: Re: Noise fans from Avalons, any ideas of cooling and bringing the noise down Post by: miter_myles on January 10, 2014, 12:41:22 AM Hi, I received two Avalons from Chine this week.

I know with PC fans, the larger you get, the more cfm the fan generates, at lower speed So if they use 80mm fan Maybe you can get 140mm fans Try to google the model of the OEM fans, and find out what cfm they put out Then try to find a larger fan that has similar cfm The other benefit of larger fan that runs slower is it draws less amps So there is a power benefit there too Another thing to test, is with pieces of cardboard To try to direct the most airflow straight through the heat sinks So you want to put a piece of cardboard on either side of the fan, and direct all the air through the heat sink Keep it for a few minutes and monitor the temp on the software If it goes down you can use the transparent sheets they use for overhead projectors instead Because I don't recommend using cardboard that's flammable :) Title: Re: Noise fans from Avalons, any ideas of cooling and bringing the noise down Post by: AmericanBit on January 10, 2014, 11:38:12 AM Hi, I received two Avalons from Chine this week.

Marriage is the worst business decision you can ever make. Im not bringing kids into this shithole so what is the point...Plus I like some flavor in my life, marriage is a nightmare for 75% of guys cause chicks are crazy. Once you get married you lose all control. Why do you think so many guys kill their wives instead of divorce? Its actually easier than divorce, thats why Title: Re: Noise fans from Avalons, any ideas of cooling and bringing the noise down Post by: repairguy on January 10, 2014, 11:43:26 AM Yeah I have an idea...why dont you locate your balls, put them back in your sack and tell your wife to cook you some dinner.

I don't gamble actually, gambling seems stupid to me, just a place to hand over your money. Probably how a marriage sounds to you :) Title: Re: Noise fans from Avalons, any ideas of cooling and bringing the noise down Post by: repairguy on January 10, 2014, 12:30:20 PM I don't gamble actually, gambling seems stupid to me, just a place to hand over your money. Probably how a marriage sounds to you :) Marriage is a gamble, The reason so many people loose is they don't know their wives or don't let their wife get to know them before they get married. When you really know the person you are committing to the odds are so far in your favor, it is a win no matter what.

I've been trying to find out of I can get an avalon shipped without the case because of the weight or at the very least, when I get it, I'll take everything out and build a custom cooling rig around it. 1KW is a lot of heat to dissipate, without water cooling, I figure a set of 120MM fans in a push-pull setup should help out. |
