Sure. Run it at 500 watts. It would be very quiet.

Braiins lets you clock it way down, so my guess would be yes? You could also use a plus sized fan. Those run at lower hertz for the same volume. It’s the high-frequency of the tiny fans that makes all the noise.

Got one coming in this month. Same as you, I'll be putting it in the basement, where I often record video calls. I'm curious as to how it'll sound.

I have some rough sound data in this post. If you have the right set up you can run it at about 700 W and it will be quiet enough for a bedroom (maybe just under 40 dB). I don’t know how quiet you need it for a podcast… nostr:note10kwqc92xdv0ddypjez4jhqffssgk6c42nvgjxxz6anhdz0j8dkvsk99av2

Yes it's possible but to make it whisper quiet you might need to lower your wattage while recording. Here's mine standing 3 ft away at 500 watts. I'm using the nostr:npub1lrjgpa9m2dl6esdah5pq7m005ymwh4glq4aet76q2zlz2f83esfsa2zvrj 120mm to 140mm adapter that I printed and 2x 3000rpm noctua NF-A14 in...

The silent fans I put on my S9K were only running at 700rpm and seemed to be causing a fault that made it stop mining. The stock fans are louder than a shop vac and I can't run them in my bedroom and maintain my sanity. They're so loud you can hear them down the stairwell outside my apartment. I or...

Just curious, but are your power/heating bills so high that it justifies at home mining? My power bill runs an average of .35 per kilowatt hour (average across the USA is .16 per kilowatt hour, so mine is double that of most) so I have my miners hosted and use a wood burning stove to heat in the win...

I like the quiet background noise mine providers (nostr:npub1lrjgpa9m2dl6esdah5pq7m005ymwh4glq4aet76q2zlz2f83esfsa2zvrj version). If I were recording a podcast, I would be concerned the noise would be audible in the background.

100% I run one next to me in my office at 500w and it's totally silent and is currently keeping my office consistently warm at 21° in the depths of winter. AND my life is full of the potential to win an entire block reward at any moment 🤙

You can run it at 750W and sit next to it. Use a Temp Switch to remotely control it based on ambient temps. https://miningwholesale.eu/s9-heater-guide-build-your-s9-space-heater/ https://image.nostr.build/a5f8efab394ea955c123bc26780dbdee854b918d23534a894db5b9ca4cb87ebd.jpg https://image.nostr.buil...

If it's stock then you'll want to replace the PSU fan for sure. The intake/exhaust fans can also be replaced for lower noise. I went with 140mm noctua, but I heard good things about ac infinity fans. Then you need a firmware that allows setting a target wattage. I use Braiins firmware and set it to ...

Running mine damn quiet at 800W and a fan speed of 55%. Replaced the stock fans for the recommended Noctua 140mm fans. It's as quiet as my regular wall heaters, if not quieter.
