I have a blade in my S9 box that?s gone bad. I sent it to bitmain warranty but they could not repair it and sent it back. I?m considering buying another S9 and taking my S7 offline. I was wondering though, just to maximize hashing, could I remove of the S7 blades and put it in the s9 box? Would it work or would the controller not recognize it? Are there any dangers to mixing blades?
Thanks!
I personally think it would be a bad idea. No empirical proof or electrical engineering degree but you are mixing up electrical components that don't belong together. I think you have about three or four things that may happen from least to worst:
1) It just won't work
2) You will destroy the S7 board
3) you will screw up the whole miner, controller and all
4) Fire
If you were to try it, I would do so outside, in a garage, or someplace with non-flammable surroundings.
