So, I upgraded my Avalon A1246 miner with these Phanteks T30 fans and now I’m having problems with the Hasboards. I already had to replace Hasboard #0, and now it looks like Hasboard #1 is on its way out too, right after I put the fixed Hashboard #0 back in.
Is this something that typically happens? Honestly, I messed up by not testing the miner before slapping the Phanteks on, and now I'm worried if the fans are what's causing the problems.
Do I need some special software to deal with these different fans? Has anyone played around with this kind of setup?
What are your current API logs? Would you mind posting it here?
Possible fans are the cause of your problem and it might be a compatibility issue based on a bit of research about that fan the max amps of Phanteks t30 is 0.36A which is pretty low compared to stock fans.
Why not try to put the stock fans again to test?
About custom software/firmware for this unit, I never heard of any custom firmware for this unit.
To be nasty WTF are you doing!!!!!
the 4 fans on the a1246 do 200+ cfm each that is 800+cfm
the T30 phanteks do 101+ cfm that is 404+ cfm
they do not have the balls to cool your gear off.

look at the specs
Given the information that philipma1957 has provided, I would ask what the temperatures are that you're dealing with. It sounds like this could be a simple case of your boards frying because you're not cooling them off enough so they are burning up. Without more information about your board temperatures or your ambient room temperature, the assumption is going to be that you removed the fans that were necessary to cool the boards and replaced them with quieter ones that are more convenient for your situation, but aren't providing the necessary cooling. More information from you to confirm this diagnosis is needed.
I looked around a bit and found these fans which may be a better choice.

they do 175 cfm
vs the 101 yours do.
the canann do over 200cfm and are around 2.6 or 2.7 amps.
not certain if they will do the job.
you could try them and let us know
