Worldly did you notice a drop in power since the fans have been snipped?(in watts)

Ok, just finished cutting and taping the wires on the fans for all 10 miners. 

Before:  ~110watts
After:  ~83watts

I don't have a decibel meter, but WOW its so quiet by comparison!  Hopefully these will keep chugging along...

I guess this means I kiss my 30 day warranty goodbye!  Grin

wow, these little suckers are really efficient scrypt miners... 8 - 2.7watts = 5.3 watts / 350khs lol super efficient

Yeah, I'm guessing I could squeeze out a bit more if these were connected to higher quality PSU (i.e. 80+ platinum)....also one of the silver PSU's fan always stays on...while the other has a thermal sensor and only turns on when needed.  The 2nd one I bought later from Amazon so it's not the exact same as the ones supplied by the seller.  I had to get the 2nd one because one of the 2 original PSU's burned out on Day 3 that I got them.
