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?
PCB can never go to 80 or it will break...
Try to keep it at 60-70 for best results.
I recommend opening your window and pointing the outtake fan towards it. Also, You can only lower the fan if you are going to lower the frequency as well otherwise it will overheat.
I recommend getting earplugs to sleep because it will be hard but would be best for right now. Either that or call a friend and ask them to run it in a spare room for the next 1 week while you buy fan shrouds, cooler, and insulated flexible duct to make a box to silent it a little.
Window is open and people walking outside can hear it very well. It is like a vacuum cleaner running lol
Right now, the fans are at 5800 RPM (auto mode), PCB is 65-70, chip temp is 90-92. Getting 830 GHS
I tried setting fan speed to 70%. That significantly reduced the noise but chip temp were at 100 within few mins. I switched back the fan speed to auto. If I let it say at 70%, chip temp would hit 110 I guess. lol.
Now, what is the max chip temp that is "ok" for device to at least last 6-7 month?
If I want to lower the noise, I guess I have to underclock. Is "frequency" the settings to underclock? Can you tell me what range I should try changing and play with so I can lower the noise (and also hopefully keep the temperature ideal)?
Sorry about too many questions. This is my first ASIC. Have been running GPU rigs always...
You could always just stick an AC in front of it. Thats what i did. Two x10s (50% fan speed) and one Bitman A3 (30% fan speed) . They only thing i hear is the AC and thats just a hum. When you change the frequency low or high you need to load firmware that will support it or its possible it will reject all your blocks. P.S. Im gonna work on making it look nicer when the second A3 gets here lol Good luck!!
