Hi all,

So I managed to order my first piece of mining hardware - a Feb 2018 batch Antminer s9.

While I'm waiting for the arrival date - I'm just wondering if painting the silver part of the body in matt black thermal paint would be a good idea.

In principle, this will radiate heat a little better - allowing for higher hashrates or potential overclocking.

Downside of course is that less of the heat is directed out into the air - which means less control if I want to use it in miner-as-a-heater mode.

Not an option I'm set on yet - just wondered if anyone had tried it?

Cheers.
