I accidentally bought amp3++ with my s9s not knowing that they wouldn't be able to run at full power on 110v here in the US. After looking around here, I realized my mistake. But seeing that it seems like I will still be able to get a good portion of the hashrate I decided to run them and see what happens. So far I have gotten full hashpower and no overheating and no problems at all after 48 hours. After seeing this, should I be concerned?

I am considering buying another one and since the amp3++ is cheaper I would like to go with that if I can. Seeing as it works here, is there any reason I shouldn't?
If not, I am looking at going with something like this.

 Any suggestions?

I think it’s going to work that psu harder running on 110. My S7 runs in the mid 40’s temp wise. Your temps are almost double that. Maybe that’s how the 9’s run. I don’t have one so I don’t know. Just keep an eye on the temp of the miner and the psu. It’s going to draw more amps with having less voltage. More amps=more heat. Heat kills.

Pushing that PSU so far past its limits will not end well in the long run. You really should think about making a change before you have some hardware meet its unfortunate end.

Also, s9s run way hotter than s7s so dont worry about the temps unless you are creeping on 100c. Even that is in the safe operating range but most people are afraid to run them that hot.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

How cold is the environment you are mining in? If you are only running one unit in a cold basement or garage the limits may get pushed a little.
