I have a few questions:
How noisy are the fan?
How hot do they get? - do fan need to run at full speed? If not overcloking and running scrypt only

If you have a lot then it gets NOISY.... I have 2 and on one the fan made a lot of noise, i cutted it out and inserted a new 80mm fan. Now it is silent and works great.

As someone already said, if it is for scrypt only you don't need then fan and it gets only warm to the touch... for SHA you have to have the fan..

interesting. I'm only using scrypt so maybe I'll try dropping the fan off.

If you are not certain that you want to use scrypt for the rest of your life then add a micro-switch to the cables and you can turn the fan on and off...

The fan in the gridseed only connects across the 12V supply so just unsolder or cut off close to the board. Should you want to refit the fan later you can just connect it to 12V (or 5V for a slower fan), no need to connect it internally again.
