Can someone help me? Picked one of these up recently. Got it set up yesterday finally.

The machine turns on, and I've had the water pump through at least once? But now what happens is the fans just go super loud, no water appears to be moving, and then after a few seconds (maybe minutes) the machine just turns itself off.

What am I doing wrong?

Any news about the noise of the miner itself?
Are the fans on the radiator monitored as well? (can they be deleted?)

My Hydro also runs since about 2 month... did anyone put this system to a external heat exchanger and feed his heating system at home??

My plan is to use 3 hydros and put it to an ex heatexchanger that is connected to a 1000l heating tank to heat about 300m² with about 33° water temp.

Since temp changed here in the NW 80% fan speed has been very welcome on my ears on the s9's. I want to try one of these too. Hoping to order in a month or so and place in office. Though Bitmain radiator looks to have a number of 120mm fam makes me wonder some on dbs.

I may grab one of these devices just for the reduction in noise as a result of the liquid cooling (45-58dB according to the site listing), and the thing just looks interesting to work with overall. This is obviously a bit of a novelty device like the C1 was due to the radiator and all, and it’s likely an attempt from Bitmain to offload existing S9 stock or chips, but it’s been a while since Bitmain has officially released any watercooled equipment, and I’m excited to see how these things actually turn out.

I wonder if it’ll be possible to use an aftermarket radiator and pump on one of these things. $130 seems like a somewhat hefty price to pay for their radiator.

You mean one water connection starts to leak and sprays water over your 20 other miners... yeah that might cause a call or two to the support Smiley

you do realize  that  distilled water  does not conduct power.

I have had leaks in water cooled systems  and you don't kill the system  if you have distilled water in it.

Hopefully it is just to sell off their inventory of remaining chips and deal with any customer issues that arise due to liquid cooling before they roll out the S11.

they have yet  to build a good chip since losing the chip designer to whatsminer this seems to have really set them back.

Maybe  there won't be an s11 until they  rob a design from the other builders.

Only pitty is: why do this with 2.5 year old technology instead of the newer technology that all competitors have...?

So tempting to just grab one of these since I need psu's. .. . then I think of my exhaust project getting finished.

Another overclock S9? with liquid cooler original S9 can crank up high freq i think..its cooler and silent

I was thinking that myself,it made me think of the C1 .  The ant C1 was a over clocked ant S3 .


I was waiting for something like this for a long long time.. well I have been waiting since 1TH/s Antminer C1 became obsolete... I used those to warm my house 2 years... They are quiet, emit heat and I can get my heating expense back.. well using C1's I even had some "left overs" Smiley

I definitely plan to get one or two if the get little cheaper.. lets say.. 2x cheaper Smiley


I still have one working C1. same  i might buy one.

its essentially just an S9 (i/j)
It has four hashboards, so obviously it hashes 1/3rd higher, and uses 1/3rd more power. Effectively its just 1 1/3th S9 in one housing, winch is possible due more effective heat transfer.
It saves space, less noise, re-usable heat (if you can), and less problems especially in warmer areas.
I see the benefits....
Only pitty is: why do this with 2.5 year old technology instead of the newer technology that all competitors have...?

They did one time then stopped because of greed which I'm guessing will be the reason they don't again > greed.

Hint Antminer C1 an you could use the water blocks from the C1 on the antminer S5's which may happen again with the S11 etc .

cool idea but some one has been selling s9 water blocks on ebay for some time now .they cost, it looks like they modded some GPU water blocks to fit S9 hash boards .

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antminer-s9-Hashboard-with-waterblock/202354553927?hash=item2f1d457447:g:B7oAAOSwyLdbNkAn

This does look cool but nothing new and more to get money for old chips for bitmain I'm guessing, which it will sell . now if the S11 or what ever they call there 7nm chip model does this at 32 th or higher using like 1400 watts that might be  something to look at maybe .

What I hope happens, later on is some one figures out a way to lower the power use age as the hash goes up at some point they will have to. it's possible but when is the question.

for those interested, the S9 Hydro is now available on the bitmain.com website - no longer China-only.

Miner itself is $780 USD. With radiator + PSU it comes to $1008 USD or 0.18645827 BTC as of [right now]

For the whole set we have it listed just over 1.4k. Seems shipping charges are higher for this but the APW5 is 2600w and is $10 less than the APW3++ they have. Since I need 2 more psu for the evga's that arched I'm going to grab these. I'll have to have web check shipping prices for other antminers see if they've change their rates on all their listings.

Residential - yes, but not that good in a hot climate. Those large radiators are harder to vent outside than a plain S9 with some ducts. But works great in a cold climate during the winter - free quiet heat.

The way to run these is having a well pump water into a drum and have closed loop water supplies running to each miner (and don't use the radiator).  Using the radiator would be senseless for venting the air out of the mining space. You would just need some circulating pumps (get a three speed and set for 40 psi) and a bladder to distribute each water lead. If the hashrate was a bit higher, I would order some.



Seems, nobody is willing to do the math...  It is a worthless piece of shit even with -free- energy...

18TH mines 0.0007 BTC a day x 365 days = 0,2555 BTC a year without diff and hashrate going up.
Roughly every year the mining power triples, so 0,2555 BTC \ 3 = 0,0852 BTC a year taken in the diff and hashrate rising.
(Again, I do not count energy. Presume you have this free for this calculation)

Even mining 2 years = 0,0852 BTC x 2 = 0,17 BTC mined in 2 years (not even mentioning the diff and hasrate rising in 2020!)

Costs of the miner are (for me in the EU with VAT and import) +- 1300 euro (without PSU) = 0,22 BTC cost of the S9 Hydro right now.

Simply said; You're better off keeping your BTC in your pocket and skip this garden hose miner Wink

I give you an amen on that.
