Pulling the air from inside the house, to heat a house. Wouldn't that make the air quality poor? I guess there is a reason why we have vents? Tongue

yeah the heating that is done from device like asic is not healthy at all, there are case of guy running his miners inside is room where he sleep, and he had health problem at the end

I just found your post, really nice setup! I have been working on a similar project and loving the free heat off of it.

Where are your miners pulling the air from? Are you basically circulating inside house air or pulling fresh outside air?

Air is being pulled from inside the garage. I have vents on the far wall that let the air inside the garage. Stays around 45 F inside the garage at all times and during the summer doesn't exceed 55 F. Its a 2 car garage with room for my workbench and storage. So pretty big area to pull air from.

thats scary actually.. air from you cars exhaust and engine fluids being heated/burned etc

you must be taking precautions or you wouldnt be alive to post.. or never run engines (the obvious answer)

So the air is coming from the house? I am asking because it would be more efficient to pull from the house vs the out side air.

Air from the garage, 2 vents on far wall allowed air to move freely in garage

hey guys...i have a question about this s7 antminer

I have ordered 2 from bitmain batch9 starting to deliver on 20 Jan,SO my question is :

Can you sleep in the same room with 2 s7 antminers working ?

how loud are they realy?

If you want a really quiet miner the Avalon 4.1 is quiet and can heat a room nicely. You can find them on Ebay or the marketplace section. They only do 1th/s but they are WAY quieter than the S5 which is comparable.

you know the thing is that this is the main problem I have made the order for 2 PSU 1600 bitmain stuff for 140$ each,im guessing those are gonna be louder that the miner itself:)?
does any one know for sure?please would be realy helpfull

Just as loud as the miner. Not much to quiet both unless you stick in that insulated duct but even then that is lots of noise

They are loud. Small jet engine. That insulated duct I linked has a bigger version (8x25, 10x25, 12x25). I can't remember which works perfect but Philip listed one that you can stick inside which will reduce the noise incredibly.

Which PSUs are you going to use? If you use the 1300 G2 that thing is quiet but if you use the 2880 ones they are too loud. The 4k package from finsky is quiet as heck but needs 208V + outlet, the 1300 G@ EVGA only needs 120v outlet.

I don't have any S7; only the S1 which is a two year older design, so take this with a pinch of salt and let us know how you get on.
The S7 differs from the S1 in having push-pull twin fans, which should make it quieter for a given heat output, tri blade design (smaller fins) which should necessitate faster airflow, and 1300 Watts power in place of 360 Watts. That is, I'd expect it to sound like too much of a jet turbine to try to sleep next to it. It would be safe, just noisy.

On my S1, fans typically end up at 2000 rpm in normal weather increasing to 3600 rpm in warm conditions. It is only quieter than that in the first half hour before it has warmed up or if underclocked to 2/3 of its design hashing rate.

I have slept in the same room as my running S1 without problem but usually prefer to shut the door on it because it is a little louder than the cooling fans of a server.

The other consideration is what to do with 2.6kW of heat, which is about the same as an electric oven. Those tend to have a vent bashed through the brickwork and still make the room rather warm if used for a few hours.

definitely not safe

BS WARNING ! BS WARNING ! BS WARNING ! BS WARNING ! BS WARNING !
So how many deaths and incurable diseases per million population would you expect from fumes from an S7 and how does that compare to the fumes from other heat sources such as a new fridge or a new microwave oven or a new coal fire ?

Older (read broken in) miners are safer to use if the exhaust is going to be inhaled directly. If the heat is exchanged then there is no issue.

Newer miners (or any electronics for that matter) will give off more volatile chemicals when heated so consider that if you want to heat your house. I won't say they'll cause cancer at a certainty but they are definitely not safe at higher concentrations.

God that looks dangerous. Hopefully you have an extinguisher, smoke detector and insurance handy to keep your family safe.

umm why? please explain. If your referring to the insulation you didnt read or click on the links provided.

I've just switched on a 2nd hand S1 in the cheapo version of the project.
Seeing the coldest nights of the year forecast for the w/e and plenty of sun for the solar panels, A little bit of extra heat is useful to me.

Unlike the writer, who is using an efficient S7, I'm sometimes using an old S1. The quantity of bitcoin/Watt made is 10x less; the bitcoin mining is only a by-product of using a 2nd hand miner for heating.

Thanks for good reply torepia and rockyforever. My first post was little bit narrow minded,sorry. I am using miners as well to heat my house. I want to be part of network and collect some acknowledge about how bitcoin works and that's why I am mining right now. Heat it just extra that I use for. I have 2 x antminer s3, 2 x antminer s5, 1 x Dragon 1THs and one bitmain.ch 600ghs. Overall 5Ths hashpower and those keep warm my whole house (100m2) and garage. Here is about -5 to -35C degrees outside so all heat coming for purpose in winter time. Antminer S5s are good for garage because those are little bit a noisy there it won't trouble and S3s are good for bedrooms because those are quiet even running overclocked. I paid about 1200e for all these and those have been mined for 500e after I got those, electricity bill is about 70-100e bigger than normally but now I keep garage plus degrees normally won't, so electricity bill is about the same now if you compare that heat for the garage what I still need. Let's see what happens after halfing that should I go to buy heat pump and keep only S5 running in the garage.

I have my S7s blowing in through my HVAC and now have 3 Avalon 4.1 I bought from Droid in my house. My house is now too hot lol, I have to open the windows now in my house even though its 35f outside
