Title: Dumb Question - My GoogleFoo is bad right now (Antminer S1)
Post by: dmpotter on February 02, 2014, 10:14:23 PM
I wanted to add another fan, but which way should I face it? Airflow into the antminer or away from the miner?

1 intake and 1 outtake, a push pull configuration.

Also instead of adding another fan, you may just disconnect fourth wire from your current fan and it will blow at 100%, giving you huge cooling force compared to normal 30% speed.

Oh that's interesting, maybe I should of ordered a special fan which is ultra quite then... Any suggestions?

I'm sort of new to case fans :) I do like how quite the fan is on my corsair PSU is, and think that has something to do with the double ball-bearings.

I would just outright cut the current one, but I don't want to directly affect the original stuff.

This.  Proper big motor with FDB bearings (same bearings used in hard-drives).  They're solid.  I've had 5 of them going flat out for years and they're still running smooth.

i just bought the grey metallic Arctic F12 Pwm Pro(same brand as knc uses)
This one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186033.
if you do a push pull configuration(which i recommend) make sure you put rings on the one that pulls otherswise it will hit the screws of the Cooling rib.
