Just got my hands on this today. Planning to set it up and give my thoughts on it soon.
So this Gen2 blower silencer is made to work with ASIC miners like Antminer, Whatsminer, Iceriver, Avalon and it’s supposed to help cut down on that annoying noise while being more energy efficient.
Here’s a list of compatible models:
Antminer S21, T21, L9, AL1, AL1pro, KS5, KS5pro, S19jXP, S21pro, S21xp, S21+, S19kpro, S19a, D7, L7, K7, KA3, KS3, HS3, and the S19, T19, S17, T17 series.
Plus, it works with Whatsminer, Avalon and Iceriver too.
I’ll be trying it out on my Antminer T21.

Some fast info I am USA based so I get killed buying this with tariffs.
Unit is $65 usd and with tariff and shipping I went for $202
Next it came with a chipped piece of air cone I will show photos later.
Maybe they will ship a new cone. At zero cost. The damage can be worked around so I will do photos soon.
I am waiting on a few parts to show how good it runs.

So I am waiting for shorter screws to attach it.
While I wait I just used duct tape to attach it.
Works well.
not that noisy I use the epic controller and set fans needed to zero
running a single board. on 240 volts. oh the fan needs 240 volts.
its this practical no.
the cooling fan was 202 usd due to tariffs and shipping
the epic board was 139 usd
so the quiet mod cost
341
but it is quiet.
I will do a video tomorrow . video is done here is link
https://youtu.be/KR9NQyfi2wk
note from 5th minute to 6th minute sound of fans are loud
but it is worth watching what I did to fix the damage to the air cone

Hey Philip I found this over google and watched your video, great stuff! I think I'm gonna buy that one as well.
They sell "Miner Silencer" and this "gen2 Blower". Apart from the shape, they server the same purpose, right? Or is the blower the "new thing" we should use now? I'm a bit confused. I wanted to put it all in a box and the miner silencer is more square and would be a better fit, but I don't want to buy the old and outdated stuff.
Cheers and thanks for posting!

Phill, my dear friend, as always, you did a good job.
By the way, I am friends with the owner of zeusbtc, hit me up if you need anything from them which you can't get through the normal channels, he is a nice lad, I traded with him so many times and he is one of the afew honest players in the industry.

The product is very sturdy even though it is made with 3D printer because it's very thick, I helped a friend to ordered for one and he got it already, I was amazed about how the wind pressure is very strong and yet still quiet.
Extra Advice
When attaching the product to the Asic miner a separate cushion needs to be prepared, there are plenty of cushion options available so there is not a reason to be in worries.
Good product, highly recommended IMO.

Yeah my t21 sits on a board and a bit of foam this allows to match the blower and the plastic blow vent.
I would say that my 120mm fan entry side and the entire miner was lifted about 25mm or 1 inch.
If you look at the YouTube video you can see the wooden board and the white foam that lift the miner high enough to match the blower vent.

#10Jan 28, 2023, 07:05 PM Your video tutorial is very clear. I'm also using this Blower Silencer 2nd Gen for ASIC Miner, and it works really well. It's very close to my home, so it was convenient to buy, and the shipping wasn't expensive. Plus, this store is more reliable than other sellers, and its prices are quite reasonable.
