Just got a 1T/hash 'FancyBitcoin Miner' - LOUD!

[73blazer]

Sorry, not for $5000 or 10 BTC it isn't, dude.  No chance to ROI in fiat or coins.

$3000-$3500 maybe.  There are many other places around in this forum (Group Buys section?) you can get it sub $4000 at least.

This isn't sub $4000, but it's definitely not $5000:

Either that or get in line for an Antminer S2.

You guys gotta do your homework....

I didn't say it was profitable or not, I just said, if you want  1th/s mining power *now*, there's not many options. There's clearly a couple, but not many.
YOu do need to do your homework though, I agree with that.  There's still people pre-ordering BFL's Monarch, which they probably won't see for 9 months. They see a pretty website and think it's gotta be an OK company...well, I dunno what they think really

Hello. I just picked up one of these: http://coinsfortech.com/shop/coincraft-1ths-28nm-asic-bitcoin-miner-with-power-supply

It works very well right out of the box at the speed promised and I am already getting coins out of my pool after only 30 minutes.

However it is LOUD! It is like having a hair dryer running.

It is in my apartment and it is just unacceptable how loud it is. Does anyone have some advice on how I can solver this problem? Some sort of some proof cabinet or perhaps a quieter cooling system?

You can not have a rig without noise

You just need accept the noise

It looks like I can collocate it in a data center in my city for not too much. It should pay for its months rent there in just a couple days of each month.

At the rate it is earning I should break even in about 11 weeks even after paying the data center.

It was only 8.4 bitcoins, not 10 and I have 1/4 bitcoin back already after just a couple of days.

How did you calculate that?

The estimate earning in the whole April for 1 Th is 2 BTC. How did you made 2 BTC in a "couple" of days in March? How did you get the 11 weeks ROI?

From cex.io for 1Th at 50% increase/month:

                                  BTC
Apr-14   7510       373   2.02   
May-14   11265   560   1.34   
Jun-14   16898   840   0.90   
Jul-14   25347   1260   0.60   
Aug-14   38021   1890   0.40   
Sep-14   57031   2835   0.27   

At 25% diff increase you should ROI by September. But at 50%...winter is coming.

About 6 months ago i had 15 BFL singles all running in a spare room.
The noise was unbearable. I really do think that the sound was messing with my brainwaves lol.
I cant even concentrate around miners i am sure they fuck with your mind somehow.
I had mine in a dedicated room with extra cooling and the doors shut but could still hear throughout the entire house.

I have nine running in my bedroom and more running in the other room. The trick is this: What causes noise with air fans is the blades stalling. Try slowing the blades down a bit with an in-line resistor, remove all the crap that is blocking airflow (grills, etc) and move the maximum volume of air, not the max speed.

Try pulling air through heat sinks, more efficient than pushing.

Try switching to water cooling if possible; I run an 8 chip jalapeno which runs at 30c with a Corsair H100 water block on the back of the board and the stock heat sink on the front. Yes, it's that simple. :-)
