Topic: New one fan S7 - page 7. (Read 9869 times)
Don't worry, there are so many fools and suckers who are buying these 1 fan S7 miners. Bitmain Chinamen are laughing all the way to the Chinamen's Bank.
The problem with ordering a fan from them though is the shipping that they add to that price. At least the last time I checked they charged a lot for shipping just a fan. Would have been better off getting a batch 15.
I was temped to order another S7 but with only one fan now I don't think I want to take the risk. I wished they would elaborate on why they decided to go with one fan only.
I would guess was to lower production cost. If they make thousands of miners and cut fan cost on each one that could add up. How they will run we will see once people start getting them.
I would guess you can add a second fan: https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020160105104607947aoAkWsJK06D0 . I can't imagine them taking fan pins off IO board, but we have not seen the batch yet so can't confirm that. It is just a guess.

One of my hosted S7 had a shot fan and one down board. It still ran hot with only two boards powered. I wouldn't run a one-fan S7 on stock clock south of the Arctic Circle.

I was wondering others' thoughts on this new model. At the ever dropping but currently 1.386BTC cost... its a tempting purchase.
I understand they are trying to cut costs... but...
I think the single fan is a bad idea. I rely on the fans on either side to attach ducting and for it to handle the fact I have ducting to and from the miner on both ends.
I think the open outlet is going to be creating an issue for people without passive cooling in the room/space. Presently my 5X7 room I have my S7's in do not get above 78*f on hot days with the miners closed in there.. Having to manufacture a new outlet housing or gut an old fan body to make an appropriate ducting attachment.... is going to be annoying.
Any opinions on running the fan solely as a puller fan, and not a pusher (oriented to the miner)
? This would 1/2 solve my issues; because its easier to manage the heat through the exhausting; not as much as it is to duct cold air into the fronts.
