the_duckchild Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Pretty sure my fan is causing a lot of noise. It's especially a bother on the drum engine it seems. I have (8) 6582 chips, all fitted with heatsinks. I'm probably going to be OK to unplug the fan aren't I? I realise no-one can say "yes" for sure, but any reassurance before I do it anyway is gratefully received.....
TK. Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 I unplugged the fan power cable at the same day I got my MB6582 from Wilba, and this never caused a problem ;-) Best Regards, Thorsten.
the_duckchild Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Posted June 21, 2019 reassuring, thanks. I'm turning it off!
Hawkeye Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Same here! :) Had no fan active right from my start in 2010, the SIDs are holding up very nicely! :) (Beware, though, If you have 6581, they run a bit hotter and might require better cooling than the 9V 8580s or 6582s). You could always also install passive heatsinks and drill add a few holes in the case PT-10 bottom for improved airflow - from the MB6582 photo-tutorial: Many greets! Peter
the_duckchild Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Posted June 25, 2019 thanks - I have 6882's, plus both airholes and passive heatsinks, so I suspect I was overdoing it a bit! fan now unplugged. I think the other issue may be that the resistors I used for the combined output socket are a bit too large - the individual outputs sound much stronger and have a better signal-to-noise ratio.
Noise-Generator Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Is the Fan powered by 12v? Than I would use 5V to be on the save side if it´s summer. The oldskool PC Fan silent mod... Edited June 25, 2019 by Noise-Generator 1
