Just received the miner. It is freaking loud at my apartment. I am pretty sure someone is going to complain. I tried setting the fan speed to 70% but chip temperature is going beyond 90 C. What is the ideal fan speed and temperature guys? PCB is around 70 and chip around 100.. Is that too much?
No kidding, I love money as much as the next guy but the A3 is so ridiculously loud I had to turn it off and build my sound proofing box before turning it on back on.
Go look up YouTube and search for the cooler style sound proofing box. I reduced mine from 70db to 30db, not exaggerating. Also make sure to buy some sound proofing foam because the sound echos inside the cooler. If you have an old carpet or yogamat lay it on top of the cooler and it'll further dampen the noise. It went from holy shit call the police loud to being the same volume as most gpus at 100%.
I'm still surprised how powerful the 120mm fan is. It moves my ceiling fan if I point the exhaust duct at it.
