Title: SP10 VS S2 - Comparison of noise, can anyone comment on this?
Post by: wpgdeez on May 26, 2014, 02:59:07 PM
I have a SP10 that is WAY too loud and was wondering if anyone has had a chance to compare the SP10 to a S2? If you have both how much more tolerable is the S2 in comparison with the SP10? The SP10 is ridiculously loud, it sounds like a saw running 24/7.

easy - the S2 rattles in the box when you shake it, the SP10 does not  :D
sorry, couldn't resist.

I could care less about that, cards are easily reseated.

From what I can tell the SP10 is ~9db louder than the S2.  The S2 also emits a much lower frequency and there lies the possibility of installing quieter fans.

Sounds like the S2 is a better option for me. Hopefully BTC spikes to $600+ today so I can order one.

S2 is effectively silent under 26-27C ambient. The two do not come close to comparing.

I downclocked my S2 to 175 MHz (890 GH/s) and the noise level at 1m dropped by 3dBi.

Just in web gui or using pencil? What became of the power usage after that? Thanks
