According to their web site they have deactivated a portion of their units, are installing a a Sound Wall barrier and will convert to immersion cooling. Are those things not true?
There are farms in suburban areas
without sound walls??
Always thought this was a generally accepted requirement.
i don't even think sound walls do anything. they might make the sound a little less loud but they probably don't cut it out entirely. and immersion cooling won't do anything either. since the source of all the noise is the fans that are exhausting the heat from inside the building to the outdoors. you still have to do that with immersion cooling.
some of these people want to move away but they can't because no one would buy their house! so it has also kind of ruined them financially. made their homestead worth alot less.
Immersion radiators with fans are not that loud. Compared to screamer fans at 7000 rpm. The 120mm by 120mm by 38 mm martech fan in the new s21's is really really really loud. cooling an s21 along with hundreds of others means a lot of fans. they are ways to lower the sound but they all cost money. These big mines are on tight margins. They simply should not be in that building.
