I replaced the fans the day I got them with these http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/product.php?pid=136&area=en

4 of them running and almost no sound.

rgdz,
bhai

I just removed the fans completely, no need for them with LTC and I wont be using BTC mode.

Is there any chance the BTC core can be come "active" and start hashing?  Lets say some kind of cgminer bug or something?  Worried about that at all?

I hope it never does but I have only got a 100W power supply driving 10 of them so I expect the supply would just die if BTC mode turned on.

The reason I asked is because I know earlier versions of cgminer were keeping the BTC core powered up (but not hashing) and so I saw > 500 watts being pulled...at the time I had all 10 of my miners running off of 1 PSU so it got hot super quick but I pulled the plug before it could burn out.
