Title: Fan Speed
Post by: tipsysnake on August 24, 2014, 08:52:20 PM
Hi sorry if this has been covered I cant find it doing a search.

Is there a way to control the fan speed. My Antminer is running a little hot if I can turn the fan speed up hopefully it will help.

Thanks in advance

The S3 uses a PWM fan with 4 cables, one of which allows the speed of the fan to be controlled by the device, according to temperature.  It is possible to make a 4 pin fan run flat out (check out google).  I wouldn't be able to stand the noise, personally.  I've been trying alternative fans to quiet mine down and I have to say that those standard fans are pretty effective (if very noisy).  I would see if you can improve the fresh air ventilation to it to start with - that made the most impact on mine.
