Here is video

http://youtu.be/TzA_5QA7Pog

This video exaggerates a bit, mic doesn't reproduce sound perfectly (or perhaps it is noice cancellation algorithm in phone) it is not THAT silent.

Maybe i but another case fan to pull position. Those case fans are almost silent, so no problem adding another.

Yeah it sounds very silent. Do you have an Antminer S3? Is it quieter than that?

This is my first miner.

A video would be very nice indeed.

The construction is simple enough, but I was wondering about the impact on board temperatures, even with a two-holes construction with pull/push air configuration. I had experimented a bit with S1 and S3 before and always found open air to be the most reasonable configuration.

Yes please post a video of a before and after.

I think the best way to silence these S5 is to add a second fan and undervolt them.

I'm using this;

Just a two open ended rectangle of these covering 200 degree of the miner makes the S7 at 3500RPM quieter than the S5 at 2600RPM.

WHere do you buy that in Canada?

Home depot. Its pretty common, i'm expecting to be able to find some at Rona, too. There's most likely other places but i did not ask where he bought the panels originally. I just got left overs.

Ps. how can I hotlink those pictures?

You need to be Jr Member to have them displayed, so i quoted them for you. But the url you input are not the direct link, it has to be the direct link to the image, you're using redirecting links all over. However the onedrive links seem truly invalid. Anyways they arent working for me.

I wanted to make S5 as silent as I can.
So I built a case which I lined with silencing mat. I brought a basket from IKEA and a heavy duty silencing mat from auto parts warehouse.

My first attempt was only to drill holes to basket, but temperature rose fast too high.

I bought case fan to push air inside the box and it helped. Temperature is now 63 on hotter board on default 350 setting. Hardware errors is almost 0.

Ps. how can I hotlink those pictures?
