Ok, I have 2 BFL 60 GH/s machines and they are louder than heck. I am moving into a new place next weekend and the units will have to be in a room with me and I do not think I will be able to handle the noise. For this reason I have heard that you can replace the fans with quieter ones, but I am unsure about which fans to use.
Could someone who has replaced their fans in their 60 GH/s units please recommend a fan to use? Will any 120 MM fan work?
Thanks for your help and experience.
Hi there.
If you just remove the case (leaving the stock fans) - it will literally cut the noise down by 50% and gets rid of that "whining" noise you also hear. I did that to mine and I can no longer hear it through the walls, ha.
To answer your question- yes any standard fan will work (it's just 2 fans with extension rods holding them).
Case removal + silent new fans = silent and great performer
Will the temperature be fine for the boards by removing the case fans? What temps do yours run at without the case?
