has anyone tried these fans on the s5 im just worried about the noise? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835213001

you need a 4 pin, you can get delta 120mm fans from ebay for about 60% off that cost. Go to delta's website and pick from the catalog and go on ebay and search the model you want. I have suggested foxconn fans, they can be had for $9 a pop. they do up to 3500 rpm and 150 cfm.

So, I ordered a few fans to compare, one of them was this one. For info. even though the newegg.com site states 2.45A = about 30 watts which is the limit for most fan controllers, this one on the back is actually labeled 3.24A = about 40 watts. Probably would burn out the fan header on the S5 if you hooked it up directly. Also, this fan is powerful and loud. Believe it or not, this fan is even louder than the original one that comes with the S5.

yes, this looks like a hurricane (250CFM!). It looks like it comes with 3 pin connector which you can only connect through adapter to molex chain on PSU, not to pins on the miner.
I found another two "monsters' if you want to go for the maximum flow and don't care about sound:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Shipping-Delta-120mm-12cm-PWM-TFC1212DE-252CFM-12038-DC-12V-cooling-fans-/171630309537
and
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Delta-120-mm-5500-RPM-PWM-TFC1212DE-12V-DC-Fan-S1-S2-S3-S4-Brand-New-/271666540843
the same fans, but one is coming directly from china and will take much longer.
same on amazon:

With these fans you can probably set a record in S5 speed-I am sure that there are quite a few people here who might try Grin

These fans are about the same at the the newegg one. If you notice the flow is slightly more, but the static pressure is the same. That's probably because the blades of the Delta on newegg is the width of almost 38mm, while the others on eBay you listed are about 25mm with with a 12mm flow director on the back. So no need to try those, they are the same as the one that comes with the S5 but with a higher rpm.
If you've got $125 each for a fan, here's the ultimate I could find, posted this a couple days ago. You'll need a 140mm to 120mm adapter for the 6,000rpm, 410cfm fan.
"So noise isn't a factor, you want the most extreme. Here's a laugh. Get 2 of these ebm papst http://int.rsdelivers.com/product/ebm-papst/5312-2tdhp/dc-axial-fan-1396-x-1396-x-508mm-410m-h-43w-12-v-dc-5300-series/0557672.aspx in push/pull and a pair of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811995076 "

Cool, get all of them, get deaf, then it wouldn't matter when "bitcoin" goes to whatever whether will it make a sound or not-I wouldn't be able to hear it!
hey, this is not the first time I wasted a bit of money on something and enjoyed doing it. YOLO.
