While I thinks it's valuable and important to get the 2nd fan operating correctly, I'd be stunned if it actually made it quieter. It might make it more tolerable, but I've yet to see a situation where a 2nd fan ever made anything quieter. The hot air and noise are to be expected when you have 1200W being generated inside an envelope that's roughly S5 in size. Bitmain can't alter the laws of thermodynamics it would appear.

Turns out the second fan was working the whole time, it was just the fan grill that made it look like it wasn't working (derp). So my previous noise level estimates were taken from the unit with both fans working.

Also, I just took a power reading and it looks like this miner takes 1200W exactly for me, using a LEPA 1600W PSU.

Yes, Video please..  i think you will first on youtube , so you can make some money from this..if..
