For a general discussion, how long does it take to cause problems in humidity? Has anyone had failure due to keeping a miner outside in an area with heavy humidity? I.e. heavy humidity such as tropics, or FL?
It's getting to the point where any hardware older than a year may need to be dumped and new ASIC's bought as the specs just get better and you save on electric? Unless you have Solar? Right? So… If it takes a year, does it matter?
My guess is in heavy humidity with salt air it can corrode in a few months? But in non-salt it should last longer and at least a year, but I really do not know. Looking at the internals…. Excluding the fan coolers etc. you do have boards which should not last in humidity right?
I run mine now in HVAC controlled environment, but I have thought about running mine outside (controlled and covered) a few hundred miles off the shore line in PA that has humidity, but no salt air. Just thought it was worth the discussion?
