Hi all,
I just hooked up three different IBM Bladecenter H 2880W PSU's to my brand new S7's, and boy the fans on these PSU's are incredibly loud! These PSU's have a high pitched sorta whistle sound, almost kinda like the whistle you hear on a turbo. These PSU's have a pitch more noticeable than the actual miners in the room.
My question is, is there any way to make these fans quieter at all? Or a replacement for the stock fans that are quieter? Otherwise, do I have any other options? I ideally wanted to run platinum PSU's to these miners, so if there is no solution, is there a recommended replacement that you guys suggest?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Server PSU's are not known for being quiet. I doubt you are able to make it what you consider "quiet". If going for less noise I traditionally would send someone twords ATX vs server psu. I don't know that I have seen much as far as making them quiet. If someone can think of one please post, I could not find quickly.
I think they are just loud PSU's at end of day. They are great for their price and amount of power, not for quietness.
But the problem with this is the 10 PCIE cables the S7 want's. That get's most ATX psu's where they are not to good for the job.
Do you know of any ATX PSU's that are gold or platinum rated, that have slots for the 10 PCIe cables? Or a quieter sever grade PSU (I hear of people using Dell PSU's and other PSU's that run about 2000w max).
Or maybe Jabberwack knows of a quieter sever PSU with one of his breakout boards?
