Title: GAWMiner Falcon - Making GAW quieter
Post by: ncsupanda on July 29, 2014, 12:11:55 PM
Anyone have any tips on making the GAWMiner Falcon and other miners more quiet? I'd like to buy some replacement fans that match the specs but put out less decibels.

I've been looking around for this answer, so I'm hoping that by making my own thread others can find these answers.

Fan specs (I believe):
-120 mm
-120 cfm
-???  dBa

Thanks all!

remove the top of the case, disconnect the fans, use cable ties to attach 1 large house fan to the case pointing directly over the circuits.

Thank you both!

Yes mines a bit noisy too. It would be good to find decent quieter fans.

May be a dumb question... But can't you guys put the unit in another room? I suppose limited space wouldn't allow, but I've always had my miners hosted in a data center so really have no clue how loud they get.

Is it really noticable? I mean I use a fan as "white noise" to sleep all the time.

It's not crazy noisy but you can hear it if its in the same room. Like a hair dryer on a low setting. I actually have mine in a room in a lower part of the house that is cool along with some Furys, Blackwidow (also noisy) and Gridseeds (not so much) and 5 gpu rigs (quite noisy). It has fan noise and gets warm in there anyway. Best bet is to have them in a separate room if you can but if you can't put them in a area away from you and others.
