Hello. I just picked up one of these:
http://coinsfortech.com/shop/coincraft-1ths-28nm-asic-bitcoin-miner-with-power-supplyIt works very well right out of the box at the speed promised and I am already getting coins out of my pool after only 30 minutes.
However it is LOUD! It is like having a hair dryer running.
It is in my apartment and it is just unacceptable how loud it is. Does anyone have some advice on how I can solver this problem? Some sort of some proof cabinet or perhaps a quieter cooling system?
Just a question which is not related to the noise: What hash rate do you get on different pools with this machine? Are you limited to BTCguild?
This is why we advice people to just buy the coins! You'll have to put up with the heat and noise for 6 months just to get your investment back. Is it worth it? For most people, no!
As for pools, BitMinter also works fine with my A1 chip based boards. You need a pool that supports 0 Diff (auto) or large Diff 512-1024.
To get the noise/heat down you'll need to underclock to about 800GH and change the fans for quieter ones. (The 4 board 32 chips version is working 20% harder!)
