Hi all,

I just hooked up three different IBM Bladecenter H 2880W PSU's to my brand new S7's, and boy the fans on these PSU's are incredibly loud! These PSU's have a high pitched sorta whistle sound, almost kinda like the whistle you hear on a turbo. These PSU's have a pitch more noticeable than the actual miners in the room.

My question is, is there any way to make these fans quieter at all? Or a replacement for the stock fans that are quieter? Otherwise, do I have any other options? I ideally wanted to run platinum PSU's to these miners, so if there is no solution, is there a recommended replacement that you guys suggest?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Server PSU's are not known for being quiet. I doubt you are able to make it what you consider "quiet". If going for less noise I traditionally would send someone twords ATX vs server psu. I don't know that I have seen much as far as making them quiet. If someone can think of one please post, I could not find quickly.

I think they are just loud PSU's at end of day. They are great for their price and amount of power, not for quietness.

But the problem with this is the 10 PCIE cables the S7 want's. That get's most ATX psu's where they are not to good for the job.

Do you know of any ATX PSU's that are gold or platinum rated, that have slots for the 10 PCIe cables? Or a quieter sever grade PSU (I hear of people using Dell PSU's and other PSU's that run about 2000w max).

Or maybe Jabberwack knows of a quieter sever PSU with one of his breakout boards?

The 2880w PSU can be modded with holes in the top cover to fit 120mm fans. I believe MarkAZ did something like that.
I have the reference and the pinout for the original fan plugs somewhere from when I did the mod for someone locally.

The DPS2000BB can be much quieter (you can choose the fans you use since you need to add external fans). Mounting the fans with my single and dual DPS2000BB sideplates for the 4K breakout board is a little bit easier than without.

EVGA 1600 has 9 PCIe ports, you can easily add a splitter to power S7 controller. They come in Gold, Platinum and Titanium, they are whisper quiet but expensive.

I think that EVGA 1300 with two extra PCIe extenders is OK for S7 batches 2, 4 and 6.
For batch 1 could be OK, depending on your optimal mhz setting and without overclocking
For batch 3, 5, 7 (and especially 7), EVGA is probably insufficient.
Batch 3,5 were close to borderline w/o overclocking, but probably insufficient if overclocking to 625.
batch 7 jumped to 1345w at the wall on EVGA 1300 from the getgo without any oveclock, so 1600 is probably needed, but they are expensive.
Batch 6 is OK even when overclocked to 650-4.3Th at 1160W at the wall.
batch 8-also probably needs Bitmain's PSU or EVGA 1600 (or 2880W IBM for two, of course).

Ear plugs. Or mod the PSU by adding 2 powerful 120mm fans to the top of it.

I stopped using my 3 PSUs, just too damn loud. I had them in a detached garage and they were still too loud, could hear them in the house and down the road 100 feet away easily.
