Nothing lasts forever.

If stock, maybe 2-3 years.

If overclocked, maybe 1-2 years.

The electronic components on these boards are cheap components with little to no over-engineering built-in.


I fully agree.

It is a solid state device. It should theoretically last forever, or until a component fails.

It depends on your power costs.

Code:
If Value_Of_BTC_Produced < Power_Bill_Cost
 {
  Antminer_Profitable = TRUE;
 }
else
 {
  Antminer_Profitable = FALSE;
 }

I am just curious to it's lifespan lol.

I've been running 6 of them overclocked for over 3 months now.

I would imagine environment conditions, quality of power, and stress of overclocking would affect lifespan.

No way to provide a good estimate since there are so many contributing factors.

Whats the average life span of the S1 antmniner?  As in when it stops working not becomes unprofitable.
