The S9 chips are at least two generations behind, and are different.

This happens a lot with CPUs and GPUs, some can take a temperature, next model has a much lower limit. So what you did with S9 does not apply with S17 or S19.

The S17 tends to desolder itself so i bet it would get damaged from that, way before the chip real limit.

If you want to believe the manufacturer, PCB is roughly 15° less than CHIP and you can use that as reference, so 75+15=90 max.
I wouldn't trust it, let the miner slow down itself with dynamic power scaling using either default temperature values or lower.

Mind sharing where you got those numbers from? I am almost certain that no Antminer 17 series miner could run for over an hour at anything near 110-120c, let alone 135c.
Honestly, I don't have a source it only came to my mind because maybe they are similar to S9 Chips that have 135 max temps.

However, I recently realized after checking the Skot project called Bitaxe that the max temp shouldn't be more than 90c my reference is the temp he share on his Twitter, The PCB temp and the Braiins auto mode dangerous temp.
I couldn't find any data so this is just my own guess collected from other user's posts.

be constructive or S.T.F.U
Keep it in the 70s unless you want it to break and have a short life

Or maybe just abuse them till they die  Grin, personally, I did not have much difference between running those low-quality gears cold vs hot, they all died way too soon. Cheesy


I think the Asic chip max temp for the 17 series is usually around 110c-135c.

If you have the stock heatsinks, i would keep them below 85°C. You will risk the heatsinks and or chips falling off.


Thanks for that advice!

I run with Bariin's software and have the following settings for my antminer 17 series miners. In this case S17PRO, T17+ and S17+ miners.

Temp mode: auto

Target 75c
Hot 85c
Dangerous92c

Can't find any information from Bitmain about recommended chip temperatures for 17 serie only for PCB.

What do you guys have for temp settings and what is working for you?

Thanks in advance!

Do

72c
80c
85c

it is safer


That is really cold. Will be hard during summer season.

Any advice to keep them running cold except maintenance ofcource?

I tried to search on Google but you can only find PCB temp for this unit.
Also tried to search for the BM1397 datasheet but no one share it yet.

I think the Asic chip max temp for the 17 series is usually around 110c-135c.

My suggestion is better run it in auto mode instead of running it in manual mode because if you set it near the max temp you just likely frying your chips to death.
And it is always better to keep them cool.


I also tried to find information about these chips BM1397 and their max temperature, but it was impossible. Thanks for the advice!

I send Bitmain an email but still no answer.
