Hi,
I 'm trying to make the antminer S7 quiter.
I have put 2 BitFenix Spectre Pro PWM 140mm fans on the miner. (push / pull)
The temperature remains below 60 at lower frequency.
But the device stops working!!!
What is going wrong???
regards,
eric
Put the stock fans back set freq to 500 . Then set stock fans to 30%.
Return those fans you purchased.
Buy this from Home Depot
Flex duct 12 inch .
It is twenty five foot long
Set the unit into the flex duct about a foot in .
use a bitmaintech psu as it will fit in the duct.
This will be quiet and not restrict air flow plus the exit end is long use to guide the air out of the home.
Thats also a possibility. I have almost the same setup in my basement!
But I also have some S5 miners in a regular pc tower case and they work fine.
They are at the office and during office hours they automatically mine at a lower frequentie (low noice) and in the weekends and non working moments, they mine at 100%.
The stock fans are just to loud to do this. Thats why I looked for high CFM fans.
The S5 mines during the day at 300MHz and during night at 350MHz.
Can it work for the S7 but with lower frequenties?
Can I switch off the low rpm control in the software?
regards,
Eric
