I`ve been searching and reading a lot, but cant find anything related to Batch 7, most of posts are for batch 8.
I have S7 B7 with September`s firmware. On Bitmain website available is December`s version-does anyone have any issues with the newest firmware? Does the newest firmware make any difference?
Another issue is loudness.
Did anyone change fans-any opinions.
Right now my fans are working on 60% -3960 and 3720 with average temp 62C but even they are in different part of house, behind locked door , still can hear them really loud.
should i lower fan speed percentage to make them quieter?
Does it make sens to put big pedestal fan -40cm to get extra cooling?
thanks for any info
drop fans to 55 % and look into this material if gear goes over 65c go back up to 60%
the whole miner fits into this

Phil gave you some good idea's. As far as noise if you don't do a mod like that the S7 is noisy it is not for people who need it quiet, unless you plan on doing some sound proofing. I would not switch fan's though anymore even that voids warranty. Phil's idea to turn down and watch close is better.
My biggest advice is don't upgrade unless you see a big flaw needing fixed or feature you need. It just is not worth putting the miner through chance of bricking for little updates in my opinion.
