Is it just the fans that cause the noise? I've got a bunch of extra BeQuiet and Noctua case fans laying around that are probably loads quieter.
I'm a complete mining noob - how do you go about underclocking the machine?
I wonder how effective would it be if I built a box and line the inside with sound dampening foam or dynamite. How much would that reduce the noise I wonder... I'd also have to vent it out of course... just thinking out loud.
