Thinking about making an offer for this broken Antminer S17 Pro on ebay. Here’s what the listing says: ebay link:…

I might be wrong, I don't have access to an S9 to play with, but I would bet my bottom dollar that both fans are running at variable speed, controlled by some part of the mining hardware and software. And most likely…

'Too paranoid' is of course relative, but I currently believe that I will continue to live with constantly running miners spread through my house. I think the risk of causing a fire is very real and I intend to tame my…

I agree completely with that. But I only use small miners with negligible risk of frying the AC outlets, unless the miner or it's power supply is already shorting. I'm basically trying to figure out how to add redundant…

I guess the lesson from this is to always have a separate cooling system that does not fail when the main cooling (which is presumably controlled by the ASIC board) does fail. At least 2 independent cooling methods. And…

I don't think that proves that immersion cooling saved the day. As you say, the miner shut itself down, as it should. To test this, you could submerge a heating element in the fluid and put the max power which the power…

Scary stuff then! That means it is a very bad idea to use an oversized power supply. Maybe the power supply needs to be matched so it cannot produce much more than the ASICs can use in normal operation. And everything…

What happens to an ASIC miner if the cooling system fails? Let’s set aside the threat of overheating cables and connectors since that’s the main fire danger. So, if an ASIC hash board has plenty of 12v DC power and the…
