If you do not care about profit get some S1's very quiet and use similar power to an S3. If you want to make some profit while staying warm get some S3's.

Yeah I would suggest the S3 or S3+.  Great reliable miners.

If you are located in the US, I have a C1 for sale.  Its basically a water cooled S3 so its even quieter.  Last winter I ran it in my living room as a heater and my wife didn't complain about it.

Avalon 6 or antminer s7  you cant riro on them (unless im Missing something).  I was actually thinking about s3 and replacing fans for something more quiet. Or maybye silverfish for scrypt 22+-  at 240 wat which is break even

if you get s-3's  this fan is very good

it fits perfectly on the no ethernet side.

the ethernet jack gets in the way on the other side.

I usually do one side and leave the stock on the other.

A slight down clock to freq 212 vs 250 and it is very quiet.

Sorry for crappy pic. I had an old S1 laying around and I decided to try and make a space heater out of it. It works exceptionally well! By itself it will keep my small cabin around 60 degrees with outdoor temps in the high 20's. Its overclocked to 393Mhz and is pulling 445W from the wall. If mining performance is trivial for you, S1's can be had for dirt cheap and put out a decent amount of heat.

Which miners generates most heat as heat source to heat home or small garage?
I'm thinking about using miner (scrypt or bitcoin) to heat up closed space in my garage. which one generates most heat tho? or maybye some modification to increase heat output? what do you guys think?
titans  are great but loud and expensive and faulty often

Well why not get 5 s-3's  they are cheap and will use about 1750 to 2000 watts .  they are also quiet.

or get 2 avalon 6's  they will use 2000 watts and they are quiet.


the 5  s-3's will cost you  about  500-600 usd  and do about 2200gh burning 1800 watts

the 2 avalon 6's will cost you about 2800 usd and do about 6800gh  burning 2000 watts.





With the Diff going through the roof right now I'd just pick up a few S3 units or something similar and cheap. You might end up regretting buying an expensive miner like a S7 or Avalon 6 if we hit a few more 10%+ jumps like it looks like we are going to do. I'd wait this generation out for a while because I think the new gear is being oversold and when the new batches of each come online its going to get a lot worse.

If Titans are too loud for you, then you have  very few choices. KNC Jupiter or something water cooled. Water cooled S5 for example or Antminer C1

The heat output of a miner is essentially equivilent to it's power input.
