Mine ran for about 6 months. Pulling in outside air pollen moths:) etc.  when temps rose above 70 they would push close to 80c board temp. I pulled them offline. Blew them out.  You wouldn't believe the dust bunnies inside them.  Now I've got them oc to 575 and 85 f they made it to 60c board temp.  I feel they will be good up to 90-95 before I need to clock them back down. Def want to get some compressed air and get them clean.

Yes, mine are definitely past due for a good cleaning. We have one of those electric computer blowers for electronic devices at work. We use it to blow out dust and cobwebs from computers and case. I keep meaning to bring it home one weekend when I can get motivated to tear down four S9's one by one and clean them thoroughly.

That blower works 100 times better than canned air. I guess an air compressor and hose would work just as well. Just have to be careful not to damage anything with a very strong blast of air.

I'm sure it will lower my temps and add a little more longevity to the miners.

We started with one of these (eventually got a bigger tank for more rigs):
     and one of these     
Set @ 30PSI for regular scheduled cleaning and 60PSI for times when the whole rig is torn down and "deep cleaned".

Happy Easter to all guys!  God has heard our Block prayers this month! 

Yes She has

It needs to be rather strong to get the dust out of the middle of the miner.  Just remove the two fans and goto town on it. Blow from both sides. I didn't have to remove the case or anything.  I blew straight 110psi thru them(prolly overkill).  Dust went everywhere. Used one of those blow guns with a reduced tip. Hard to say what the pressure is coming out the end.  Happy Easter everyone

I will pull all the boards out and clean out / blow out each board individually to get into all the crooks and crannies. No worries about taking them apart as the warranty is long gone.

We have something like this at work:

[GWhisper]

Come on guys it's been almost 4 hours and no block - what's up with that. 

[kano]

CKDB Restart in ~45min at 17-Apr 11:30am UTC
See the web site for details.
Just a restart - no changes occurring.

Completed, all ok.
Shudown was at 11:29:49 and restart completed at 11:34:41, so just under 5 minutes.
All good

[clgrissom3]

It's time to get BLOCK MONDAY revved up to the max!

Yeah, really, where are all the CKDB restart blocks already??

We have something like this at work:

I've used those devices, but they don't work well here on Kaua'i Island. The dust here is volcanic, and loaded with iron oxide, and additional whiskering due to the salt content in the air is nasty. A lot of us here use something called QD Electronic Contact Cleaner (a spray can...Ace or Home Depot). Shut down & open the device box, and spray this stuff down over everything, then suck/wipe up the stuff that flows off. It dries in seconds, leaves no residue...and it will dissolve any whiskering and oxide dust without harming anything, and get into places you can't with a vac or brush.

That sounds like gnarly dust!

Sorry for the OT....
I don't have any volcanic or salt content in my air here in the North Carolina mountains. Just plain old dust and pollen and a stray cat hair or three. So I think the electric blower and an old toothbrush will take care of my issues. I have used contact cleaner on other computer electronics in the past. That is a great idea. If I run into some gunk in my miners that might benefit from that, I have an Ace Hardware about 5 miles down the road.

Thanks for the idea.  

Let's get a few blocks before the day is done!! We CAN do it!!!
COMEONBLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading a recommendation by Kano to configure more than one URL on the miner got me to ask. What other kano pool URL's could I put in my S4 and S5? I live in Central America.

S7 Soon-ish

I can't speak for kano-san, but I have solo pools setup for my fail overs if the first pool setup in my config pointing to kano goes dark. Rarely happens, and only for a short time, so pointing to anything other than a solo pool seems pointless to me...
Just my 0.02BTC, YMMV.

The nodes are shown in the thread title (US,DE,SG,JP,NL,NYA) and you use them by putting the location in front of the kano.is. (ie de.kano.is). Try pinging each of them to see which ones are fastest for you and use those.

Pretty sure he's asking for other kano pool nodes, in case one node goes down and he isn't around. Could be wrong though.

[bronder]

thanks, yes I was looking for other nodes in the kano pool.
