Anybody who run these units at home...can you comment how loud/quiet are they at default (like S3, like S5, or something less)?
Thanks.
Thanks.
assume you have a quiet psu.
I can run them a little quieter then the s-3 when providing 12 votes and setting fan at 20 freq at 500
thanks, i have a couple of EVGA 1300 left (those will do 12V just fine), no big miners in the house now (all in hosting), just gekkoscience sticks flashing blue and white and SILENCE-for a first time since winter of 2014. Thinking of bringing one or two Avalons home to break the spell. We shall see, I need them to be really quiet.
Can they be tolerable in the same room (home office) or still a bit much?
I saw your picture with 63.8 db, but it also depends on a pitch (whooshing or screeching?).
Biodom - The noise from the Avalon is just rushed air (1 Fan vs 2 on the S7), not whining Jet Engine like S7. The default speed is at 20% and it's as quiet as S3, so you can definitely have it running in your office. However that's only if your office need a 1100W heater or you can get Ebay ducts to vent out the vent thru the window for summer. You just need to make sure you run it with a super quiet PSU like the EVGA G2 as the PSU may end up being noisier than your Avalon. Right now my house is 70F and the box is sounds like a little computer FAN up close. If your environment is hotter and you need to run the fan above 40% then the sound is closer to a Microwave exhaust fan on low to medium depending on the fan speed. I'm using it in my Living room right now to heat up the house. With the TV on, I don't even notice the Avalon 6 running. This is why the Avalon 6 is still my favorite box. At this $1100 price, it definitely keeps it in the race especially if the PI is included as I paid $1550 for it just a month ago.
