1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer S9 11.85ths and 13ths lifetime? on: January 15, 2017, 04:09:58 PM
I would like to know how long will new antminer s9 11.85ths and 13ths survive working in a good condition climatronic constantly 10C temp no dust.

Their lifetime can be expected to be 1year 2years more or less any idea.

Thanks
My S9's don't like the cold at all.
I ran the fans at 85% to keep the chip temps down.
First frost we had in the UK had hash boards go missing in the GUI and some weird behaviour.
Set the fans to auto let them warm up and all was good again.
You can't win with these but fingers crossed apart from this I've had no problems.
Guess I'm lucky but I'm not looking forward to when they do break, long way to ROI yet.

Mine are just the opposite. It's cold as %$#@ here and has been for the last week or so. Last nights temp was 9 degrees F (-12 C). I have 4 S9's running in a spare room with two windows open each with a 20" box fan in them sucking outdoor cold air directly on the miner intakes. Another window across the room is also open with a fan pulling exhaust air out.

My PCB temps are 38 to 41C and my chip temps are 70 to 72C on average. That's with 600Mhz S9's over-clocked to 612MhZ. Averaging 13.11TH/s.

It's 23 F here now. I think that equals -5C outside.


Id recommend running a large dehumidifier in that room.

The issue with the sound cabinet is the fact you need to create a greater static pressure then the miner itself creates. Which would involve an exaust fan thats either large or spinning very fast. So you need to make more noise to get rid of some. Now if that exhaust fan was located away from the miner in another room. I had my miner in an insulated tube running to another room dumping outside. I think it may have put extra strain and heat on the miner.  I think if you want to home mine in an apt you really should not be playing with an s9.

The first time i opened my miner I shook my head at the 100% lack of thought that went into the performance of cooling. Purely cost effective for them. If anyone has a dead s9 board they dont mind donating to the cause im more then happy to see if a water block is a possibility. Biggest concern is removing the dollar store heatsinks they seemed to have welded on.

Mine posted as normal. On a better note, not too bad of luck so far after the halving eh?
