Why didn't you just swap the plastic connectors on the fans? The pins are easy to disengage and remove. The metal part looks to be mini jr. molex on both, would be a direct swap.

If it was a longer one this would be route to go. As cord is not very long on the sanyo. But I had tools sitting there from electrical wiring so I was able to make that one fit in less then a minute. It also is a nicer cord with some shielding, I wanted to keep it personally. Very good question though.

Is the S4 able to control the San Ace's RPM? Or is it always running at 100%? Must be loud as hell at close to 6K RPM.
What are your ambient temps? Seems to be running pretty hot for the speed those fans are spinning.

It is able to control it. I have been working on setting up a new mining area so it's been running in 80 F or a bit higher then it normally does. They are being overclocked a little bit as well. It does always spin faster then standard fan though. If you want one closer to original there are some good delta's. Below is with some of the fans better positioned and it being colder and at night I'm hoping to get all my miners in the top of a garage/work area. Slowly I'm working out the kinks and should have all my mining gear there eventually. Have 100 amp just for miners almost so lot's of possible expansion. Currently only using around 10k watts.

Thanks for the info. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Fill up that 80A of usable power! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I'm limited to 90A right now, soon to be 200A.

I'm on a family farm house. So it was designed for lots of electricity. I have a 200 amp going to house, and 100 amp subpanal going to area I'm now setting up. So total of 300 amp already ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Just hard to justify that much mining gear currently for me. Have two electrical lines going to the electrical box. I would love to turn the old barn into a mining area up top, but I could not justify the install costs with having the area I'm moving miners pretty much set up. Biggest thing was some wiring, and now proper fan and exhaust setup.

I've got a 200A feed to the house, with 60A going to a sub panel in my detached garage. Is your 100A sub panel feeding off your main 200A from the house? If so you don't have 300A, you're drawing 100A from the 200A available. To have 300A, you'd have to have a 200A entrance to your main panel in the house, and a second 100A entrance to a different building feeding that building's main panel.

Some of tractors and stuff in winter or cold you plug into the electricity to keep engines warm and easy to start. So it was designed with farming in mind. At this point the farming and cattle land is rented out. I went the way of computers not farming business.

But farming inside compared to out in a field is much nicer ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . And if you think miners are expensive just go look at farming equipment.... it is crazy. Sorry if it got off topic because of me. Back to regular programming.... i did S4 fan replacement and working great now! - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=796839.msg11250003#msg11250003

Replacing S4 Fan First make sure you are out of your warranty as replacing fan violates it. (Warranty is 90 day's so it's a good chance yours is out of warranty). Then look at Bitmain suggestions on fan's - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204199879-Antminer-S4-fan-specification-and-possible-replacement-fansI personally chose the Sanyo Denki SunAce 120 9GV1212P1J091 Stats from Bitmain: Dimension: 120*120*38mm Voltage: 12V Power consumption: 6400RPM 36W Rated current: DutyCycle 100% @ 3A Air Flow: 6400RPM @ 224CFM Noise: 6400RPM @ 64 dB-A Air Pressure: 6400RPM 36.82 MM-H2O Life Expectancy: 40000 hrs @ 40°C Connector: 2510-4P Install: You will unscrew the 6 screws holding on the top of the case. Also unscrew the fan metal guard with 4 screws this will release old fan. You can unplug the old fan from the board. The new fan: One thing I ran into was the new fan had a plastic piece for allowing it to set up on a three pin fan assembly easy. I used a file and pocket knife to remove the 3 pin plastic. This allowed me to put it in the 4 pin slot on board without pushing the plastic far away from plug. Also mine was a close fan to the board. If your fan is far away you might need to make the power cord longer for the fan. Comparing old and new fan: Gallery: http://s100.photobucket.com/user/notlist3d/slideshow/S4%20Fan%20Replacement?sort=3And of course the end result: Thanks for detailed instructions ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Glad to see Sanyo does the job properly...

Since the warranty on most, and not exluded this, bitcoin miners are short, what would be the main time before failure?(MTBF) How long does it on average run until it probably stops. MTBF, build to run..for how long? Under decent circumstances?

Did you just get miner? I wold ask who you got it from if it was doing that. First I would try a different pool just to make sure it's not the pool. After that I would try to update firmware (caution firmware updates have risks). And if that does nothing I would start to look at the PSU.

As I have another machine and working in the same pool and is perfect , I would like to update the firmware but I need to help me with that because I read that is delicate, please help with the step by step process. Thank you.

If you swap the new fan to one of the fronts, you can replace it with a Corsair SP120 with almost no impact to cooling. The rear fans are doing most of the work in this arrangement. Might be easier to obtain for some.

This shows it for S5. Very similar procedure for S4. I REPEAT ITS SHOWING FOR S5 do not use firmware told is guide. S4 firmware can be found here - https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=00720140930114518599JXGHWWD80660If you are extremely paranoid I can give you directions to back up the sd card in it if you want.
