What's the best way to minimize noise on a current mining rig? I've been considering a few options:
-Lower the fan speed of the graphics card
-Put a water block on the graphics card
-Get a fanless graphics card (one that only has a heatsink)
-Use a special cooler (such as Accelero)
-Use sound dampening strips (such as Dynamat)
Any suggestions on how to make a current rig less noisy or tips on building a new, quieter rig would be greatly appreciated.
It is kinda a visual joke for myself, but I keep my mining computer in the newegg box it came in (it has no case) with 2 large 120mm fans providing overall airflow. Seems to keep it a bit quieter than the aluminium case I was going to plop it in.
Please note this is a fire hazard technically. Do not store you computer in a cardboard box on top of used/filled oil drums. Thank you.
