Antminer U3 Fan replacment

[sam1987]

Hello ok so I've had 2 antminer U3s for like 4 days and I cant stand the noise, any tips from people that have these, can I just buy some new silent fans and just replace the current ones ?

IIRC there were few who did this (with their S series but haven't seen anyone to do it with U series so far) and the results were really better (assuming you go with the lowest dBA of noise. Since the U3 has 25 dBA, go with anything less than 20 and should do the trick however, It's going to be harder than replacing the fans on other units. And also by doing so, the warranty of your products will be useless so have that in mind too.

I don't know if this will help you, but for my old pc, i bought a zalman. It's really quite. But  there are at least 5-10 other companies that produce silent pc fans.

Thanks for the replies guys, so it is possible but what your saying is that its not as simple as plug in and play, that I cant just buy a low Db fan and plug it in.

I don't think I have warranty as I bought them used off of Ebay.

And yes I really like zalman I installed one on my pc a few years ago.
