I'm a complete mining newbie.

Can anyone point me to instructions how to operate the moonlander silently?
Which settings etc...?
Or even without fan?

Hashrate is not so important for me, but it should be as silent as possible.

Thx in advance & sorry for the strange question.

sell it to me  it will be completely silent Roll Eyes


To be serious  it needs a fan.  So I think  you won't have silence.

Even if you set  low settings it would over heat.

I suppose if you attach a monster heat sink it could work silently.



Yes the stock heatsink is not designed for fanless operation. Even at base frequency and lowest voltage you risk overheating with no airflow.

Keep in mind those little fans have about 2cfm coming out of them, so you can easily get a ultra quiet 120mm fan and that will provide more than enough airflow at close range to keep it cool with very little noise. If your going this route I wouldn't do it unless you have a heat gun and can directly measure the temp of the small heatsink on the top (should be under 80c max).
