On warmer days like today, the antminer s9's built-in thermal protection is very useful since it stops miners from running above 128C. Although the vast majority of these miners do stop at 128, the thermal protection doesn't seem to kick in right away when a miner suddenly spikes in temperature. For example, I saw a miner reach 199C and 170000+ HW errors before the protection kicked in. It turns out that a plastic bag had gotten sucked up to one of the miners and completely cut off the intake airflow.
Is there any way to have the thermal check run more often? Otherwise it seems that the only solution would be to have an external monitor that would check the temperature frequently and stop the miner from hashing above 125C or so.
