from the desc for this item: Connected between the fan and the power source adapter to reduce the speed and noise emissions. reduce speed == reduce cooling == increase heat. Seriously, this is a bad idea.

HUh? sorry but the items shown are "adapters" not fans. they reduce the speed of a connected fan. clearly more air at lower speed would reduce air vibratinos and therefore reduce noise while reducing heat effectively, the adapters will not do that.

Keep in mind this fan will block the Lan Port on the S3, so only run these if you plan to run wireless. I was gonna get these but decided against it because someone else here mentioned that issue to me and I prefer to stay on LAN.

Like many other mining enthusiasts no doubt, I have migrated from S1's to S3's and now have S1's gathering dust. So what to do with them? They are undervolted and lowered frequency using 150watts at 128Gh. Running costs are £0.50p per day each. They run almost silent. l intend using one per bedroom to warm the room up and maybe point them at a solo pool.. you never know your luck or l could stay with my usual pool and then the running costs drop to £0.10p per day.
As an aside I have 6 S3's all providing heating. It's winter here in England with outside temperatures ranging from 0 to 10C. One S3 is in the shed to keep the place from freezing, 3 in the lounge hidden in a corner.. the temperature there now never drops below 22C.. and 2 in my study which keeps it comfortably warm. Fan noise is not a problem having replaced all fans with much quieter ones.
Contact bitmain and ask them to sell you hash boards and controller from s3. I ordered 8 kit's with shipping to Moscow for 1240 usd. I think this is good upgrade for my s1's -)

The best fans for my S3's are Corsair SP150 performance edition blowing in and Enermax UCMAA12A blowing out. The Enermax are not PWM but have a choice of three speed settings. I use the lowest 1000rpm setting. The S3 temps hover around 48-50C at ambient 22C and are a rock solid 440Gh at 218.75 Mhz, very quiet too. For lower temperatures I use Thermalright TY-143 both ends, not so quiet but easy to live with and the S3 temperature drops to 44-45C

DONT USE THAT> "In no case the NA SRC7 may be used with fans, having more than 3 W power consumption." The S3 fans are rated at 1A (12W) max draw.

One of my 6 S3+ that I ordered a couple months ago stopped working, time for warranty service. Turns on but red light stays on, reset button doesn't work. Able to log in to interface.

Same with mine. I was able to get it to start working after powering down and then powering back up a couple of times

Only issue I had with my S3+ so far is one of the mining boards shuts off once in while, doing a power reset fixes it though
Though this issue seems to be disappearing the more I run it, at first it happened within a couple days, then it happened with a week, then it happened with 2 weeks, its like the miner is breaking in or something, seems to last longer before each time it happens.
