Hi!

I have been mining in my Dorm for more than a month Cheesy

I just have a slight problem now, my Antminer S3+ fan is kinda noisy now, and I am afraid my next door cant sleep.

So the main question is, can I replace the stock fans with a Corsair SP120? Its the only silent fan I can see here in the malls. Sad

and by the way, Is it possible that my miner can burst into flames and take down my dorm?
Im afraid that will happen in the future. Sad

For those who dont know the story yet, Im mining in my dorm because I got free Electricity and Internet Connection, So Im taking advantage Cheesy

Sorry for my very Bad English Sad

Thanks advance for the help
and
God Bless!!!!!

Yes you can, it should be fine because the fan will spin up to keep the temp much lower than it need to be. Sure the miner could burn up if there was some massive electric spike. You probably have a surge protector, right? But i mean if this happen, your miner probably won't be the only thing blowing up.

Might take a while to recoup the costs of the fans, though.

Anyways, if they,re the performance edition, the one that has the best cfm/pressure, this should work pretty fine.

Hi VirosaGITS!

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yep, I already bought a surge protector. So can I leave my miner in my dorm without worrying fire hazard? By the way, does the miner turn off automatically if hit certain temperature?

Thanks advance

Its supposed to when it reach 80c but i would not thrust that much. And you'll be able to tell by the temps it gives you. Machines make the fastest reaction/decision, but sound human judgment is best.

Specially when the code is buggy.
