Replacing the Main Fans

  • Required Materials
WARNING: It is essential to have previously installed Braiins OS+ on your miner, or any other software that may reduce the performance of your machine. This measure is crucial because, to reduce noise, we will install less powerful fans, which will dissipate less heat.

Required Materials

  • 2 pieces 3D adapter 140mm to 120mm
  • 2 Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-2000 PWM fans
  • 2 140mm fan grilles
WARNING: Before starting, first disconnect your miner to avoid any risk of electrocution.
  1. First, disconnect the fans and unscrew them.
  1. The connectors of the new Noctua fans do not match the original ones, but don't worry! Take out your cutter and carefully cut the small plastic tabs so that the connectors fit perfectly on your miner.
  1. It's time to install the 3D parts! Attach them on both sides of the miner using the screws you removed from the fans. Screw them in until the screw head is flush with the 3D part, and it is securely in place. Be careful not to tighten too much, as this could deform the part and cause one of the screws to come into contact with a capacitor.
  1. Now let's move on to the fans.
Attach them to the 3D parts using the screws provided in the box. Pay attention to the direction of airflow; the arrows on the sides of the fans will indicate the direction to follow. Go from the Ethernet port side to the other side. See photo below.
  1. Last step: connect the fans and attach the grilles on top with the screws that were not used in the power supply fan box. You only have 4 of them, but 2 per grille in opposite corners will be enough. You can also look for similar screws in a hardware store if needed.
While waiting to offer a more stylish casing for your new heater, you can attach the case and power supply with electrician's cable ties.
And for the finishing touch, connect the Vonet bridge to the Ethernet port and its power supply.
And there you have it, congratulations! You have just replaced the entire mechanical part of your miner. You should now hear much less noise.
