Does anyone have a link to replacement fans for the S3? I have several that I'm using as space heaters and the fans are rather noisy when the room temperature is 70F.

These should do the trick for you.

1. Performance edition - lower decibels than the stock S3 fans: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007RESFYK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

2. Quiet edition - lower decibels than the stock S3 fans and the the performance edition:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007RESFYK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Both the above are PWM fans, so they will increase speed according to how the S3 feels the need, unless you do the proverbial "blue wire hack" (not sure whether its a blue wire on these fans though). Or, looking at these items' page, you can get the none PWM fans which are a tad cheaper but will run at a constant speed.

Your links are for the same fan. Just the performance edition.

Like many other mining enthusiasts no doubt, I have migrated from S1's to S3's and now have S1's gathering dust. So what to do with them? They are undervolted and lowered frequency using 150watts at 128Gh. Running costs are £0.50p per day each. They run almost silent. l intend using one per bedroom to warm the room up and maybe point them at a solo pool.. you never know your luck or l could stay with my usual pool and then the running costs drop to £0.10p per day.

As an aside I have 6 S3's all providing heating. It's winter here in England with outside temperatures ranging from 0 to 10C. One S3 is in the shed to keep the place from freezing, 3 in the lounge hidden in a corner.. the temperature there now never drops below 22C.. and 2 in my study which keeps it comfortably warm. Fan noise is not a problem having replaced all fans with much quieter ones.

Contact bitmain and ask them to sell you hash boards and controller from s3. I ordered 8 kit's with shipping to Moscow for 1240 usd. I think this is good upgrade for my s1's -)

What model fan did you use to replace the ones are your S3s?

You can use this Silverstone Tek 140mm x 38mm Fan for CPU Cooler and Computer Cases Cooling FHP-141

Keep in mind this fan will block the Lan Port on the S3, so only run these if you plan to run wireless.

I was gonna get these but decided against it because someone else here mentioned that issue to me and I prefer to stay on LAN.

I am sure it has been asked and answered but this thread is so long hard to go through it all. What is a good quality fan to replace the two fans on the S3+? I would want ones that push a lot of air, run lower rpm and are much quieter. My S3+ is very loud when the fans kick on to higher speeds.

Use something better
http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/Noctua-NA-SRC7-Low-Noise-Adapter-for-4-pin-PWM-fan_46291.html

from the desc for this item:

Connected between the fan and the power source adapter to reduce the speed and noise emissions.

reduce speed == reduce cooling == increase heat. Seriously, this is a bad idea.

Nope. They are high CFM fans that can push more air at lower speeds and lower db levels.

HUh? sorry but the items shown are "adapters" not fans. they reduce the speed of a connected fan.

I was not talking about any adapters. I was talking about replacing the fans with more efficient units. Anyone who would put something between the fan and unit is a dumbass.

What is the CFM of the stock S3 fans?

Bitmain,
fyi...

Still NOT buying any S3's while cost+shipping cannot ever be recouped.

yeah but there are a lot of people that are..

ppl lacking basic mathematical skills, of course

Guys, what's BITMAIN shipping charges to US - let say for pair of S3? And are there any paid customs?

Thanks in advance

No import costs to the US. Shipping cost for two S3s is ~$140 to West Coast (not sure if it depends on location).

Thanks S, Looks like shipping really kills any S3 order for me.
