Thanks, i should have a look on how to troubleshoot if the heatsink is the problem.

Hey thanks for your reply. I dont think the heatsink shorted something. When taking out the hashboards everything was fine. one of the hashboards was layed down on the table. After i picked it up a heatsink fell of on the place where it was resting on. So the heatsink was still connected to the chip but very weakly. So i think maybe it couldnt distribute the heat of the chipp well enough because the conection beteen heatsink and chip was bad.

I did glue it back on but nothing changed. I am mining now with 2 hashboards, its best what i can do.

So why you think it is unlikely that the chip is dead? all i read on internet is bad chips on s17 hashboards.

Thanks for your reply.

Not every chip has their own temp sensor so i guess the miner will not turn off automatically when a chip overheats. But the heatsink fell of while cleaning, maybe there was not enough surface contact between the heatsink and the chip.

[UPDATE]

i checked the powersupply and it is giving a steady 21v current. I swiched the hashboards and now instead of hashboard 3 not working, hashboard 2 is not working.

When opening the miner. 1 of the heatsinks fell of. If i have to guess one of the chips is dead.

What is the best thing i can do now?

is it possible to repair a dead chip ?

Hi all.

I have an antminer s17+ with some problems. First 1 hashboard did not give any signal anymore or status. a week later the second hashboard went offline.

I lowerd the powersetting (3th party software) and then 1 hashboard turned back on again. So i guess that it might be the PSU because the chipcount from the systemlogs are looking fine.

Im wondering if it is maybe my PSU that is broken.

I dont have a second good working PSU for s17+. I do have 2x s9 PSU and a s17pro PSU. Maybe i can convert these in someway to run the S17+? I can try some things but i dont wanna risk my S17+. i also have a multimeter.

Is there any way how i can check if my PSU is the problem? Or does someone have a suggestion for what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance.
