Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs
Imo, the sp20 is a tempting offer in comparison, but the noise and low buying power of. A bitcoin right now are holding me back. Anyone managed to sub in quieter fans to make this acceptable for living in the same floor of a house with?

Gone from 1.3x to1.5x 1.665TH and climbing now, back temperatures gone from 37 to 67°C 77°C!
Keep your room cozy and warm in the winter ...Gone from 1.3x to
I am going to have to do something about the fan though, this thing is loud! Louder than all my other miners combined.
If I can't do anything about it I'll have to sell it I think
This is the fan used in the SP20.. beast of a thing!
Damn, fan uses a 4pin PWM Graphics card type header. Going to have to get one of these if I want to try other fan types:
PWM Fan Adapter for VGA Cooler Fan
Don't buy this adapter its a different fitting on the SP20
Good news is that it runs without anything plugged into the header so I'm testing another solution
Latest update (from other thread)
I've currently got two Coolermaster Jetflo 90+CFM fans powered from the PSU, one replacing the internal fan and one on the outside pushing air in at the back.
Not-so good news is thats not enough airflow to keep the unit performing at spec, sweet spot seems to be just under 1.4TH
Temp Front / Back T,B
33 °C / 86,87 °C
But its now normal miner sound levels
I've got two other fans to try out at between 120-150CF<, still haven't got the connector sourced, its some sort of wire to board molex micro or pico connector, I guess you could solder the custom connector onto the fan wires if you wanted a stock look.
At the moment the wire comes out the side of the lid and to a 4 pin molex from the PSU, not pretty but I'd rather quiet than pretty.
Hopefully will get a chance to test the new fans today, so can update with pics.
