ANTMINER C1 Discussion and Support Thread

[IITravel01]

My guess is copper.  They have always been very careful to say to use coolant not water.  That and it looks a copper "PD360" on their site we got: http://www.syscooling.com/products/Radiators/54.html .   The two aluminum radiator's they show selling are much smaller then the one with kit.

I could be wrong if they used a specialty one for miners, but I'm highly guessing its their standard.

Yes, you have to assume its copper or there are copper components. In several points in the listings (all changed by now) there has been a mention of copper on both the radiator and the fittings [internal coating]. You can see within the chamber of the radiator that there is definitely some form of dark orange coating, which may be brass or copper. So tldr, be safe and assume there is copper and aluminium within the same loop.

Any luck finding out what the radiator is made out of?

See below. Suggesting its all aluminium, so the coatings we see must be brass [which is fine].

The radiator SC-BC1 watercooling kits uses is aluminum.PD360 radator is copper,only PD series radiator is copper.

You see coatings?Could you show me a picture?

Like the picture on your site, its golden in the threads and in the lower chambers. http://www.syscooling.com/products/Radiators/54.html. Looks exactly like my very early batch 1.

Threads looks brass in that pic. to me, also it appears thicker at 45mm (from specs. listed) compared to the one I got that looks closer to 25mm.

That's not the correct Radiator, this is the link to the kit:
http://shop.syscooling.com/goods.php?id=45

and it uses the AT360 radiator.

Bought everything as a kit. I called the Colorado support facility and the guy said all he can do is have me ship my entire system over to them and they will find out what is wrong with it and fix, no matter what it is. So I lose a couple weeks mining, big deal, and have to pay to ship that and my cooling system to Colorado. Hey, at least their willing to help. What's BitmainWarranty going to do? They would have probably told me to do the same thing. Only thing that bothers me is having to pay shipping for an in warranty product. I'll remember that next time when wave of new hardware comes a along. Other companies provide you shipping labels.

WHAT IS OUR RADIATOR MADE OUT OF? THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE KIT? ALUMINUM OR COPPER?

[BitmainWarranty is the Denver, Colorado centre, calling in is just a quicker way to contact them]. I think it is the best solution to return it now, as whatever stuff is growing in that loop will be all up inside those blocks as well. I'm here to see if we can help people remotely without having to ship stuff across a country / continent as then everyone loses out.

They usually do provide labels but I guess its a bit of a confusing situation for them - let me know after its all completed if you're still out of pocket and I'll try and get it sorted.

Just so we know and question can be answered completely are you able to confirm with syscooling that it is their copper version that is used for the kit? Thank you in advance.

Can you link to the radiator's selling page on your site that was sent with batch one please?  With the 3 fan setup I just do not see a option on your site besides the PD (copper) option.

I can't see any coating on it,still confused what you said.

Thickness of AT360 is 27mm.But truely I can't see coating in thread,it is aluminum and should be like gray.Would you mind taking a picture for me?

Right.Batch 2 uses 36S-8,with self-built tubing adapters(G1/4-8),decreases the risk of leaking.

Me and my dad bought several of these C1's and now almost all of them are having issues with the coolant leaking out of them because or the pressure. He cleaned our his entire loop, used new hoses and went for distiller water with silver kill coils and the VERY clean loop sat over night running and then he unscrewed the fill top and liquid started spewimg out. There is now way algaue grows that fast, overnight. I just can't see that happening. There must be pin hole leaks in the system sucking in the air, creating pressure.

What the heck to do here? These are all fairly neew miner's, and maybe the 90  day warranty had A little part in this, while most are a year.

There must be something environmental going on for all 3 units to have exactly the same problem. If there was a pinhole leak then you wouldn't have any pressure build up either. Did you follow up the RMA offer?

27mm. Maybe its not on this radiator but I've definitely seen it somewhere. I just can't think what other radiator I've looked in recently :/

It was said countless time in this topic but I will say it one more time. Do not close the fill cap like the water contains Ebola. Just close it with your hand and stop when you feel the rubber touching. You want air to be able to escape when pressure is rising with temperature.

His problem isn't temperature, its the algae creating significant amounts of gas.

Algae with kill coils? Did they try pt nuke or hth algae guard?

Put 1 drop of bleach in

[mavericklm]

I think is something user related

i use EK-EKOOLANT BLOOD RED and i don't have any troubles! i even diluted the solution!

take some of that shit out from the  tubes, place it on a piece of paper and make some pictures. wtf is it?i is it slimy?
try covering all tubes so no sun light is getting in...

I have a batch 1 and batch 2 C1 Miner.

I have been using this coolant since October 2014:
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17472/ex-liq-262/XSPC_EC6_High_Performance_Liquid_Cooling_Premix_Coolant_-_1L_-_UV_Green.html

Zero problems with the coolant (no algae)
I close the fill cap tight and I top it off every few weeks.
No bubbles or pressure build up.

I highly recommend it.

Maybe Bitmain stopped paying Dogie to answer questions.

Yea, they want us to ship everything out to them to Colorado at our cost. We are trying to keep what we spend on these so we can at least possibly get our return but if we are paying extraordinary shipping rates then what's the point? Legit companies usually pay for shipping on products in warranty.

All of our C1's are doing the same thing. We have no choice but to keep the fill top open due to pressure. It's not like just one of them is doing it either. 6 of them are doing it. That's not a coincidence, it is a fact there is a hardware issue here. Any coolant on the market should last at least 6 months before needing a cleaning. And I read others have to run their loops with the fill cap open too. So it's just not us having this problem. I'll gladly ship a unit to Colorado if BitmainWarranty wants to pay for shipping.
