Topic: Safe Temperature for s7's (Read 389 times)
Those temps are PERFECT for an S7. They actually crash more when the cards get under 60c and the max temp before the software shuts them down is 80c so you have plenty of headroom.
Hello everyone I have recently started running an antminer S7 and was wondering what temperatures are considered "safe". Not looking to break my new equipment! I put my miner is what is usually the coldest room in the house, and it has now become the hottest room in the house(I am hoping that by running this through the winter I can lower my "effective" cost of electricity by reducing the need to keep my electric heat on all winter.).
Anyway my questions is what should I be aiming for with regards to the internal temperature. I have the frequency and fan settings at default. right now my temperature reads: 60 66 61. Is this alright? Do I need to perhaps open a windows or buy a fan / ac unit?
This has also given me an idea of using miners as space heaters in living areas. My chief concern here is noise as it will be in the same room where I relax and watch TV. Any one have any ideas here? Profitability isn't as big a concern here as any electricity it uses would have been used anyway by a regular heater. I'm thinking maybe just underclocking some units and then lowering the fan speed, but I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this as well!
