Title: Antminer S9 Highest Efficiency Operating Temperature Post by: Carsie on February 07, 2020, 10:51:24 PM Is there a specific temperature where the Antminer S9 works more efficiently? If electricity cost and cooling was not a factor, would it run faster or produce more running at 5c rather than 30C?

(1-3) Min condition: 25℃, min J/TH, typical hashrate Max condition: 40℃, max J/TH, max hashrate In fact, the above Min and Max apply to all other miners including the new miners, the hotter the better in terms of hash rate. Also in the table, it has 13.95th at 40c ambient temp and only 13.5th at 25c, which probably mean that the S9 hashes at slightly higher speed the hotter it the temperature is, however, it consumes more power and might reduce the lifespan of the miner's chips. |
