Topic: Just got a 1T/hash 'FancyBitcoin Miner' - LOUD! (Read 6000 times)
If you get bored before your hearing packs up give it to me. Problem is my wife is louder
Hello. I just picked up one of these: http://coinsfortech.com/shop/coincraft-1ths-28nm-asic-bitcoin-miner-with-power-supply
It works very well right out of the box at the speed promised and I am already getting coins out of my pool after only 30 minutes.
However it is LOUD! It is like having a hair dryer running.
It is in my apartment and it is just unacceptable how loud it is. Does anyone have some advice on how I can solver this problem? Some sort of some proof cabinet or perhaps a quieter cooling system?

About 6 months ago i had 15 BFL singles all running in a spare room.
The noise was unbearable. I really do think that the sound was messing with my brainwaves lol.
I cant even concentrate around miners i am sure they fuck with your mind somehow.
I had mine in a dedicated room with extra cooling and the doors shut but could still hear throughout the entire house.
Try pulling air through heat sinks, more efficient than pushing.
Try switching to water cooling if possible; I run an 8 chip jalapeno which runs at 30c with a Corsair H100 water block on the back of the board and the stock heat sink on the front. Yes, it's that simple. :-)

just buy some sound dampening cover your thing but make sure air flow is ok...
It looks like I can collocate it in a data center in my city for not too much. It should pay for its months rent there in just a couple days of each month.
At the rate it is earning I should break even in about 11 weeks even after paying the data center.
It was only 8.4 bitcoins, not 10 and I have 1/4 bitcoin back already after just a couple of days.

How did you calculate that?
The estimate earning in the whole April for 1 Th is 2 BTC. How did you made 2 BTC in a "couple" of days in March? How did you get the 11 weeks ROI?
From cex.io for 1Th at 50% increase/month:
BTC
Apr-14 7510 373 2.02
May-14 11265 560 1.34
Jun-14 16898 840 0.90
Jul-14 25347 1260 0.60
Aug-14 38021 1890 0.40
Sep-14 57031 2835 0.27
At 25% diff increase you should ROI by September. But at 50%...winter is coming.

You can not have a rig without noise
You just need accept the noise
Sorry, not for $5000 or 10 BTC it isn't, dude. No chance to ROI in fiat or coins.
$3000-$3500 maybe. There are many other places around in this forum (Group Buys section?) you can get it sub $4000 at least.
This isn't sub $4000, but it's definitely not $5000:
http://minersource.net/collections/frontpage/products/1-ths-28nm-miner
Either that or get in line for an Antminer S2.
You guys gotta do your homework....
I didn't say it was profitable or not, I just said, if you want 1th/s mining power *now*, there's not many options. There's clearly a couple, but not many.
YOu do need to do your homework though, I agree with that. There's still people pre-ordering BFL's Monarch, which they probably won't see for 9 months. They see a pretty website and think it's gotta be an OK company...well, I dunno what they think really
See here for $3k miner. Use escrow of course:

5,000 bucks? DAMN.
There's not many options if you want a miner today. Where else can you get 1Th/s in stock ready to ship? THe pre-order game doesn't seem to be panning out for many, the numbers look great, but your months away from getting anything, even then it's only a possibility, alot of those companies are playing games, overstating their expected ship dates, or just downright scams. Having something ready to go right now is, well, worth it to many .

Update.
This group buy is for the same miner at around $3,000. As always proceed with caution and always use escrow:

Water cooling is less loud (I think 
)
) 
You could consider putting it in a datacenter, but it probably wouldn't be cost effective with that weird form factor.
Does your apartment have a balcony? There have been some interesting rigs outdoor rigs that have been posted on here.

Just a question which is not related to the noise: What hash rate do you get on different pools with this machine? Are you limited to BTCguild?
This is why we advice people to just buy the coins! You'll have to put up with the heat and noise for 6 months just to get your investment back. Is it worth it? For most people, no!
As for pools, BitMinter also works fine with my A1 chip based boards. You need a pool that supports 0 Diff (auto) or large Diff 512-1024.
To get the noise/heat down you'll need to underclock to about 800GH and change the fans for quieter ones. (The 4 board 32 chips version is working 20% harder!)

If you were expecting a miner to sound like a computer in terms of loudness, then... welcome to the reality of mining. I bet it pumps out a lot of heat too huh? You will have to deal with the noise and find a way to vent the heat. Welcome to bitcoin mining.
5,000 bucks? DAMN.
did you test your miner on other pools and not just on there own web interface?
