-PV-Mining Box Threadāļøāļø - Part #4:
Silent S9 Antminers with Noctua Fans? Hear, hear!
As you can hear, the S9 are damn quiet. Vistors barely notice the noise. They rather notice the heatā¦
The Noctua Fans are really making a huge difference here although they do not meet the official specifications for actual mining fans. Thatās the reason why I run each of the S9 on 800W max. Then the Fans run at ~75-80% speed inside of my box. The fans wouldnāt be able to cool the miners sufficiently at higher temperatures or higher wattages. They are too slow.
But thatās not really a downside as the S9 runs most efficiently around 700-900W anyway...
On the picture below you can see that Iāve also added two random case fans to let the air around the PSUs circulate:
If you want do these mods on your own I suggest contacting the community in this telegram channel:

To sum up, at that point my Mining Box was perfectly suited for the use inside my living room. So how much have the miners been heating? Iāll talk about that in the next update!
