How do you deal with the noise? Is the S9 in some kind of container?

I replaced the power supply fan with a quieter one from Noctua and underclock the s9 to 900 watts. If I want it quieter I can underclock it further or replace the miner fans with Noctua fans, but so far that is unnecessary.

So the noise doesn't bother you or your family?

No, it's about as loud as our air purifier on its medium setting. Just a gentle white noise in the background.

Do you provide a separate room for mining? If you use a separate room, of course it provides AC, and my question is, if the room uses cooling, does the cooling flow also go through the solar panels?
