Minimize the noise of miners in a closet

[rubensteffens]

Hello people,

I am installing miners at work with a few colleagues. We got 5 miners.
we install the computers in a self-made closet made of wood. We can't have to much noise in the building because of the work we do.
So my question is does anybody know the best way to mute the noise and letting the heat escape?
I'm new on this forum and I'm in for all advice.

thanks for the comments!

Congratulations!  Your using an industrial miner in an office environment and wondering how to make it more quiet.

This is a topic any search would find dozens of hits on, suggest doing so if you don't like my short answer:

Your screwed, and noise is the least of your problems.  Your running 5 space heaters in a closet that require in total about 1500 cfm of fresh cool air to keep from overheating. 

You need to THINK about what your doing and run some highschool math.

You didn’t specify what miners you purchased, but regardless of the choice, you’ve going to need to under-clock and undervolt the devices to reduce the power consumption and therefore the heat output. This will let you turn the fans down, greatly reducing the noise! This is easier done with certain miners, so if you could specify that would help people give you advice.

As for the wood closet, what do you mean by closet? Is it kind of like a wardrobe? Is any side of it open, the top maybe? If you use ducting attached to the output of each miner and bend it into S shapes, that will further reduce the noise output.

Good luck! The Avalon 741’s were easy to run quiet, control over voltage and the heat sinks were one continguous along the length of the miner, greatly reducing noise resulting from air turbulence.

I'm continually amazed at how people spend so much money with zero thought. Did you even read anything here? Have you read anything since making your account and this post?

Anyway, what "miners" do you have? GPU, ASIC, what?

Yes, we could actually choose to help someone asking a question as well. Really, it IS possible, look:


You can find a lot of info by googling silencing antminers.
If you read topics around here and/or do a search, you can see that most is done by separating front and back, thus creating a hot outlet and cold intake.
For 5 miners, my opinion it to choose insulated soundconnect hose of approx. 4-5 feet for intake and outlet, and have them run in a small corner in order to absorb the noise.
Feed them fresh and cold air and get rid of the hot air.
the miners themselves make noise as well (resonation) wich can be dampened by sound absorbing material. For ideas you can take a peak at my topic about a small mining farm.

Good luck!
