Title: Antminer S7 modification// better heating, performance split Post by: percy_tc on April 24, 2016, 11:10:51 AM hi!
I have a brand new Antminer S7 batch 11 and and Antminer S5. I really dont like that S7 working too hot and really really loud, in addition 1200 W is too much power consuption from one location becuase of several reasons for me. Idea 1: The fact is that i would like to split S7 performance into 2 custom devices. Of course i can remove hashing boards from S7. By this way i can reduce power consuption to 800W ( 2 boards) or 400 W(1 board). This is okay. My idea is to plug removed hasing board into S5 controller. Becuase as i see S7 uses S5(+) controller. The result would be an S7 with 2 hasing board, with less heat, less cables, less consuption, and of course less speed, BUT it would def has a longer lifetime or/and better OC. And a modded S5 with nice temps, 1,6 Th on about 380W. + I can use them in different locations Idea2: It is really crappy that hashing boards in S7 has small heatsinks and dont use the housing which is a full aluminium, very good for a heatsink. Plus boards are very close to each other wich make less effective heating at all. Would be great to utilize housing as a heatinks or to completly remove all hasingboards and put there huge heatsinks on each blade and forget original housing. Would be intrested your oppinion about on this. Title: Re: Antminer S7 modification// better heating, performance split Post by: philipma1957 on April 24, 2016, 01:24:05 PM hi!
