(this time we used 2 ultra-quiet low speed fans to replace the original violent fans. Contact me, if you need Ultra-quiet fan.) https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/30/pSS3GQ.png Fix them to the water block with M4*6 screw. https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/30/pSSGxs.png Remove the PCB board as shown in the photo. https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/30/pSS82j.png Then take down the metal shell of PCB board.

And connect all the black cords together. https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/30/pSSdaT.png Almost done. Finally power on reset, add liquid, turn on power. Bingo! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for not resuming for so long, recently been busy, put this post to forget : ( Recently I plan to further modified the miner， using the heat for warming the house. Here's a progress picture, and when I finish it all, I'll show you guys more picture. https://s1.ax1x.com/2018/01/26/pq0vNj.jpg Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: Tidsdilatation on December 30, 2017, 04:23:20 PM Very cool.

Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: cableiso on January 01, 2018, 04:52:20 AM Can you estimate the surface area of the water block that is making contact?
Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: Wind_Blade_27 on January 01, 2018, 09:56:11 AM Would it leak in the long run?
Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: lrowland21093 on January 01, 2018, 09:39:23 PM Very interesting post! Have you been able to do this with any recent miner like a S9 or a 741?
I think one of the stumbling blocks could be the latest firmware that requires the jet-engine fans they come with. You would need to figure out how to either fool the machine or replace the fan with something. Nevertheless - it looks like an interesting project!

Did you read the guide and see all the pictures? This is done with a S9. @hjelc Very cool project, thanks for sharing! :) Are you staff member in the Syscooling company? Could you share the details where to buy parts needed to setup this kit? Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: lrowland21093 on January 01, 2018, 11:42:25 PM @lrowland21093 Sorry, I thought it was a S7 - my mistake.Did you read the guide and see all the pictures? This is done with a S9. I looked at it all again and it looks like this reused the existing fans so he did not have to solve the problem of the S9 expecting the factory fans to be there. I will read more carefully next time, sorry. Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: fanatic26 on January 04, 2018, 05:04:43 PM That looks like an insane amount of work and money that you will never get back. Its interesting as a proof of concept but completely useless in the real world.
Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: fanatic26 on January 04, 2018, 09:43:08 PM Not completely useless if it mitigates the heat effectively and is quasi-silent. All heat mitigation solutions cost money. But without cost specs and decibel facts, not sure how it stacks up against other cooling methods. Its an industrial miner, the fans mitigate the heat just fine, sound should not even enter the equation. You dont buy a Tesla and take it to an off road park. You shouldnt buy industrial equipment and then run it in a residential environment. Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: leowonderful on January 04, 2018, 10:09:17 PM Not completely useless if it mitigates the heat effectively and is quasi-silent. Watercooling is mostly a gimmick for most miners today, they do have a niche but for the most part in their intended industrial environment there's no need for watercooling. Why bother investing additional money in watercooling when aircooling works just fine for 99% of modern miners? Just additional overhead. Most of us know about the Antminer C1 and how it worked- it was the first and last factory-watercooled miner from Bitmain, and for a good reason.All heat mitigation solutions cost money. But without cost specs and decibel facts, not sure how it stacks up against other cooling methods. Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: dinotom on January 04, 2018, 10:31:49 PM As with most concepts, the theory is good, the reality isn't. Water is the mortal enemy of these units. In an industrial setting, this concept is totally impractical and down right fatal to the business if one mistake causes water to get everywhere. Every board that gets touched with water is bricked and your investment is down the toilet. Air flow is how these units were meant to operate.

Every board that gets touched with water is bricked and your investment is down the toilet. Air flow is how these units were meant to operate. This is a false claim. Water cooling is safe when you know how to do it properly. In Russia they are actually taking advantage of the heat produced by miners, and they have built water cooled Bitfury-based miner (Sunrise series). So those miners are not only mining btc, but also working as 'water boilers'. See RMC (Russian Miner Coin) for more information about that case. They have some pictures of the water cooling builds at their Facebook page.

Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: big al on January 05, 2018, 12:41:15 AM Water cooling is an excellent way to harvest the heat. You guys are laughing at this meanwhile it's -30 here tonight and I could heat my house with maybe 10-12 s9s. Then just dump the excess heat outside with a PID controlled fan/rad.
The cost you say? Tell that to people around here who have spent $40,000 on geothermal. But there's no real use in an industrial setting unless you have an actual need for the heat.

Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: Sandal_Hat on January 06, 2018, 12:51:58 PM I dont think it is smart either. One error and water leaks, damaging equipment and is a safety hazard. Dont forget, these things are run 24/7. I juz dont find it smart. The miners are alaays placed closely together. It could be a catastrophe if water leaks everywhere.
However, I am curious, at wat temperatures do they run at?

It will be ok to do in a home setting I guess but laws in a commercial setting would prevent water being too close to electricity I would think. I suspect it wont pass safety standards in my country though. Juz my 2 cents thoughts anyways, not tryin to be disagreeable :) Title: Re: Genernal water coolling solution for AntMiner S9 S7 D3 L3+ , Pangolin M3 Post by: HagssFIN on January 06, 2018, 01:22:41 PM That was mean't as a joke.
And you also might want to learn what is a heat exchanger. The system would not be connected to a bath tub directly, but via a heat exchanger. And I still stand at my point that water cooling is safe when you know what you are doing.

I'm very sorry to respond to you so long, always been busy recently, put this post to forget :(1) What is the model of water pump you're using? 2) Looks like custom water block solution. Is it replicable for us? How? Can we buy them? 3) What is the operating temperature you're achieving? Can you give us a screenshot? 4) Would love to know how loud the entire rig is. Surely the water pump makes noise, and the fans on the radiator make noise as well? Looks like a great project, but I'd like to see the real results for "Frozen & Quiet." If it's true, I'd be the first one to buy 8 miners worth! It's either that, or I'm dunking them in mineral oil with a radiator. I can't seem to find anyone anywhere who's successfully cooled 8+ Antminer S9's with mineral oil, water cooling, or anything else portable. I've got free utilities in my apartment and want to find the best way to get this done in a small footprint that's rather contained! 1 . I use a small centrifugal pump, the model is SC-750, syscooling products 2 . You can contact syscooling at https://syscooling.en.alibaba.com/ 3 . screenshot here https://s1.ax1x.com/2018/01/26/pq0jEQ.png 4 . SC-750 pumps and low-speed fans on the radiator are all very quiet and I think they are negligible; the miner fans speed dropped to 700 and 1300 RPM, the noise goes down too.
