Quiet Asic Miner

[cromsps]

Hello,

I know there is a lot of topics with noise boxes and silenters for asics, normaly expensive ones,
but I cannot find anyone talking about this system,

there is this company https://www.silent-miner.eu/ wich sells the system for about 210€, wich seems to have good results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcFLHAj1bnQ

Has anyone try to use an inline fan duct with an Asic miner ?

for example this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0D0UEQ/

costs only 60€, has 395 CFM and high pressure, and there are some cheaper, about 30€.

I think that the system of that company its something like this Fan with a Fan unlocker to the Board, so the system can pass without the original fan.

Has anyone tried this ?

Do you think it can work?

Thanks,
Regards

Not a bad idea. As long as the systems can produce the needed pressure to push the airflow needed any blower can work and will be far quieter than the 120mm high pressure fans that BM and others use.

I think I'm gonna try it,

The first time I saw this system, I thought the miner had to control the big fan, but I was wrong... They have 2 speeds on the big fan controled by the input power, so the little cable that connects to the board its only for the miner could boot up without the original fan.

its much cheaper than the boxes and all the other things to quiet the miners out there,
just have to find a way to fix the big fan to the miner. 3D printing ??

Seems interesting. I couldn't see form the video if they had the front facing case fan on or not. I imagine this would use more power than the stock fans but essentially this is all their trying to sell.

Well do remember that the stock fans are rated to pull 2.5A each @12V = 30W each.

It's not a bad idea. I believe the 395CFM amazon link you have listed is rated for 60w. I believe your electricity consumption would be the same as what you miner would be with the 120mm fans.

As far as attaching the fan to the miner, 3d printing is good. You can print an attachment that has a duct connection. You can then duct your miner to the 395CFM you have listed.

Hello,

I know that I've away for a while, but I dont want anyone to burn their miners :-)

I still think that it is a good idea and there are Fans less expensive, ~20€ with the same CFM that solve the noise fan problem forgetting all the boxs and all the others things.

But beware with high CFM... I tried with 400 CFM, and when I turn on the fan with the miner off, the FRONT fan started moving quickly... When I turned on my miner, after some minutes it went off... I still think that is a good idea, but if the REAR FAN (inline 20€) as a big higher CFM, the front Fan will burn or will burn the board ... Dont make the same mistake that I did... if someone buy one of these inline fans, it will solve the noise problem with 20€, but choose one with the CFM closest to miner REAR  FAN CFM as possible :-)
