Hi Beffje,

Can you show us how you setup the tube - I am trying to reduce the sound from my S7s - the neighbors are complaining now :-(

Thanks
TMT

I put a piece of foam in front of the intake. Before I did that the miner was running at approx 75 Decimals

After It is down to 59 Decimals here is a screenshot of the temperature. The miner is sitting in a garage with 6 other miners going.



Won't this cause the miner to run even louder since you are blocking the intake temperature?



This is the cheapest way I found to dampen the sound without buying expensive sound insulation foam or mufflers.

that little thing changed the noise from 75dB to 59dB?
I will try it tomorrow...

For sure my wife would not let me keep the S7 with that annoying loud howling sound so I had to come up with a solution.

wtf is that electricity job though Tongue

This was explained earlier in the thread, I believe that it is a ground which is tied into the existing system to the metal portions (wires & sheathing) of the duct for additional safety from any static or other electrical damage, a wise idea when there is an 8 BTC machine in there!

Yeah that's good. That's what I was hoping.. :-)
I saw the insulated one below it and was hoping you were not using that one.  Grin

If I were not going to heat the garage and basement with these I was thinking of doing the same..

my two are actually close to heating the entire 2000 square foot house.

2400 watts is about 9000 btu's of heat running 24/7

I'm running 2 S7 for heat so far, I think Im going to add a 3rd which I'm planning on supplying 75% of the heat this winter with the 3 S7's. I have then blowing into the return duct on a central forced hot air system. About 2900 sf of house that is only 8 years old and pretty well insulated. Also have a couple s3 blowing into return in my den.

Anybody had already an experience as to how S7 behaves at 0-10C? Better, worse?

As far as heating-last winter i had 2kw in miners pretty much throughout in ~2800 sq ft house and noticed approximately 50% reduction in nat gas bill during winter.
No heating so far this fall, but we were down only to 58F (14.5C) so far.
So, it does help somewhat.

My 2-up 2-down terraced house in England is being kept sufficiently warm by just half of one S1 ( 0.2kW ) in addition to the cooking and things which I usually do.  Initial investment in a second hand S1 on ebay and two scrap ATX power supplies was not much at all.  It does not make much bitcoin, but as much as it does is byproduct of heating.

Didn't look like there was a liner from the pic.

Last thing I'd want is the unit to sit 'bare' on the insulation like that..

Just for the info. Something positive....

My batch 1

Ordered 31-08-2015 Payed within 15 minutes with btc 8.192 inc ship

Shipped 22-09-2015 Confirmed e mail.

In hand 25-09-2015 DHL Amsterdam


I have had it in a tube from day one to bare the sound. At auto fan it was around 60 db. At the moment it is running for 3 weeks at 30% at 50 db. I don't have a propper db meter so it was a phone app.









Happy mining,
Beffje

I'm guessing it's not in the tube with the fiberglass insulation .......  Shocked

it is in the tube with fiber glass   but the tube is :

1) liner inside  
2) fiber glass
3) aluminum/mylar

  he most likely has it in the center of the tube with a small hole for pcie's cables

if I were him I would use aluminum tape on the fiberglass  just to cut down 'dust-air pollution' from the fans hitting the fiberglass.

I have 2 in my garage using  two sets of  hvac tubes

I found I needed a way to get air into my garage yet keep out chipmunks and squirrels see the solution.
