You can't make it much quieter. Since it requires like 1200 Watts and its very dense.

Sell it and get some GPUs and those are usaully larger and run almost silently.

Its not worth it getting the mineral oil immersion cooling on such an unprofitable miner.

If you don't want to get GPUs then get like a Z9 Mini which only uses 300 Watts and you can mod the fans on those and should be fairly quiet.

i have bought a box with sound proof foam , i think it might get it to 50db

That's good, don't forget to makes that soundproof box was able to handle the heat that produces by your machine. Adding some cooling systems may help (DIY cooling systems) don't let your machine sweating. LoL

There are other more interesting options to get it to near much quieter.

1. Immersion Cooling - 3M Novec
2. Submerged Aquarium - Miniral oil
3. Replace the fans with Noctua fans.



Basically this. Though mineral oil is really nasty stuff after you take the ASIC out of the aquarium or when the aquarium starts leaking. It leaves oil stains everywhere. Also, mineral oil can corrode some plastics.

Turned it off this end, that does the trick. Only just breaking even...

Only the use of water cooling can make this equipment quieter. But not profitable. Firstly it is expensive. Secondly, it entails additional energy costs. Are you ready for this? It seems to me that the use of asics is hopeless. They never pay off. Plus create discomfort in the room where they work.
