Thanks, i am juts setting up an S9 with a single board that is in the centre slot and i'm using a generic CPU to pwer it.

It runs at 3.4Th at most.

Is it worth me installing Brains OS and reducing the voltage/power?

Also shoul i install Brains software on all my other S9s as i only use Slushpool because it has a great UI.

Thanks

The purpose here is only for noise reduction. Power usage is not a concern. Just noise.

So basically looking for one card set up using an ATX supply.

Anyone done this, the main misuse are going to be the miner fans now I presume.

Brains software and want to set it at? Any mods to make physically like adding a inlet/outlet muffler or are they snake oil? Using ducting is not an option.

Thanks again

Thanks, i presume BRAINS is software for the S9, i use Slushpool and have never used it tbh....

Another question which i think i need to start a new thread on is what is the best position for the boards when you have bank 6, 7 and 8.

I find ALL my S9's fail on board/bank 8 (furthest away from pcie connection on control board).

I also don't think placing them in banks 6 and 8 with a missing board in the middle would be better??

Anyone checked this, i have searched but no answers.

Thanks for advice, much appreciated.



The center boards get the least air so they should fail more..  I have found they all pretty much fail any way they want to.  But I only had about 50 s9's with under 10 bad boards.

the corsair 1000 rm will work

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm1000x-cp-9020201-na-1000w/p/N82E16817139273?

I suggest you program the unit with braiins. and set watts to 1100

thus you will use. ⅔ of 1100 = 720 watts

it will work

Hi All

I am looking to run an Antminer S9 with just one or two cards, reduce fan speeds and use a quite ATX style PSU instead of the loud 1600/1800w server type with blaring fans.

I have been searching and i also have a 750w ATX psu at hand but they only have one 6 pin PCIE style connector and a load of other 5v/12v sata connectors i think they are?

Is there an ATX PC style PSU available with 4 or 7 PCIE plugs on it (i will try with one card first so 4 plugs will suffice/1 control board, 3 to hash board).

Does anybody know of one and what wattage  would need for 1 card or 2 cards/fans/controller.

Thanks
