Are the units located in your bedroom? How do you sleep at night!?!?
Sleep is a foreign word since S5 / S4, unless crashing at friends.
No they are not 'directly' in my bedroom. I reside in a partially finished basement with one 15x12 room that has a door where my bed is in.
The walls of course are 1/2 inch max drywall with no insulation of course.
The S4 is about 8 feet 'outside' one of the walls, the S5's about 20 feet opposite, when closing my door the S4 is taking over and I freeze my a$$ off
at this time of year ... Door open the S5's take over ... Can't stand ear plugs!
I thought the 10 S1's where loud after receiving my first S3's, but sleeping comfortably was possible. Whoever is considering S4 / S5 miners for home mining - THINK twice about it and then some more. Since I sank a lot of money into these already, I'll need to find a way to remedy the noise pollution. Hopefully the fans I ordered are going to help some. I read a review about the S5's before ordering and whoever wrote it must have been deaf, as he described it as slightly louder than S3. (The S4 I just ordered because I was tired and sloshed)
Never order miners when intoxicated :-)
