Searching quiet miner

Hi all

I am searching a quiet miner, I tried the AntMinerS9 but is extreamly loud, what can you recommend?

The R4 is extremely unreliable and isn't really sold anymore, and the other best options are very old, including the S3 and Avalon 4.1s. Miners are just loud and if you can't handle it, just sell. They're designed to pack as much hashpower and power into as little space as possible with small heatsinks, which means the fans need to be strong and need static pressure to do that. philipma1957 uses ducting and some hole cut outs to make the miners quieter but they are still not silent.

By the way, this is terrible from a thermodynamics or quality engineering standpoint. They do it because they get a slight increase in profit margins and as long as they last longer than the warranty the manufacturer doesn't really care if they burn up or not.

Which is pretty universally terrible.

There really isnt an answer to your question.

Bitmain has stopped making the R4 and that was the only current generation bitcoin miner made to be run at home. The rest of what you can find are all industrial miners meant to be run in a datacenter environment. People still try to run them at home which is why you will see tons of threads on how to try and make it quieter but it really just isnt feasible to run one of these at home without a constant buzz you will hear through most of your house.

If you want silent miner, maybe you should look for cloud mining.

Antminer R4 if you can get yours hands on one Undecided

The only quiet miner's a dead miner!

I'm pretty sure that there was a discussion on this forum about silencers for industrial minners and a guy who wants to put them in mass-production. But for the love of of me I cannot find it right now.

i think your only choise is to buy an R4.
otherwise you need to planning to build a sound insulator box arod you miners, if you want to use and ASIC like S9 or avalon 741

There are some ways to decrease the miners noise you can try to build noise reduction using cooler box there is some video in youtube that actually can gives you idea how to decrease the noise to minimal noise
check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbAjh5q1Tzw
I was looking also to buy bitmain s9 since my room is small i was looking in youtube if what is sounds look a like but it looks like its too noisy but i saw that there is a way to reduce the noise just check the video that i share to you ..

A quiet profitable miner, isn't really available. There are options, but your best bet is to sound proof, or reduce.

What sort of setup do you have? Is it a spare room? Basement or garage? One option is to look into studio style noise reduction; the cheap option is egg cartons lol. The pricier option is to buy the panels off amazon or ebay.You can also build insulated wind tunnels to cut it down a little. I lived with many musicians in my early years, and more than once a home recording studio was thrown together.

Best of luck

okay the old s-9 controller allows any s-9 to down clock

I have 2 of them I purchased them as spares last year.

so I can set and s-9 at 450 freq do about 10th and be a bit loud

I will put them in this box made for avalon's

at 20th I will use 2100 watts which is 300 watts less the 2 avalon 741's
running at 15th

so I will save 300 watts and get 5th more hash.

not sure how loud this will be if i get to 56db it will be a success .

you won't see this until bitmain sends me my s-9's about 30 days from now.

The only option I can see here is an antminer R4, mining with your GPU or multiple GPU's if possible and cloud mining.

Any ASIC miners will be good to start mining but the price and expecting quietness will be not happened with the mining platform. If wish to start mining you have to go with the GPU miner rig set up but the profit you can't expect you can get in ASIC series. As everyone said, I will also suggest you to go with the antminer S9. Don't suggest cloud mining to any one because the profit is not expectable in this option.
