Yeah, it will be fine as a heater, but i dont think that you will ever be able to get your invested money back from mining.

I noticed you left some air in the loop, that's bad for the pump. You need a reservoir to trap the air. The fastest way to make one would be to take a jar, punch 2 holes in the lid and add to the loop before the pump.

thank you for this
i will try to get rid of air and put more water in it Smiley

With any water cooling kits, make sure you added stuff to the fluid to keep algae down. Also, I hope you didn't mix metals. Aluminium + copper = bad in a loop.

Aside from that, that looks awesome! How cool are the miners running? No doubt that radiator can handle the heat Cheesy

bad in loop ? can you explain what can happen ?

miners are running about 39-42 degrees
29 celsius is air near fan
27 celsius at this small attic room
25 celsius at room near and kitchen

The cooler looks like it could need some cleaning... I would certainly not operate it in a living area.
Apart from that, it's a "cool" project!

Hi

I just finished my project, big home heater.

2x antminer C1 (2.31 btc + 120$ fees ~ 870$)
6 meters pipe 10mm (6$)
circulation pump 28W 0.7m3/h (70$)
chevrolet cooler with fan (from scrap, 20$)
cooper joints, spliters (50$)
2 PSU, 1200gold from dragon and 1300W rosewill platinum (from scrapped miners)

I connected fan from PSU using 5V molex. Fan is not loud Smiley

This setup allows to heat whole floor (50m2) with 24 celsius.
Great for winter.

I am very happy Smiley

comments welcome
