Hi Philip,
Good review so far.. I'm liking it better than I did in the first 24 hours. I guess I was a little annoyed at everyone calling the miner a dud, before you made that proclaimation.. probably because I ordered one.
One thing is for sure, it sounds like its a noisy beast...
#1 Do you know what the stock CFM/RPM, etc is for the 12038 fan which is included.. and what its model number is, or a link to the specsheet?
I may have found a nice, quiet, pretty high cfm fan for a push/pull, or strictly pull configuration which would be sufficient for home mining. Looks like a great combo of watts, cfm, and noise levels. How do you think it would fare on the S5 in terms of achieving proper cooling >1TH/s in terms of environmental requirements, room temp, or anything else you can think of. I'm thinking this may be a nice upgrade for myself or anyone concerned with the sound levels of the miner.
