Building a Sound Proof Enclosure For my Bitmain S9 Antminer 

LOL

put a hashtag by that bitch

🤣🤣🤣🤣

it was painful using them :) Im working on buying a new set!

Like which tool?

I no longer have this setup, but when it was setup, I had a tube connected directly to the miner pushing cool air in while the other end was connected and blowing hot air out. It kept the heat flowing directly through the miner rather than collecting inside the cooler.

What setup did you move to?

wow. Thanks. That was so long ago, but I think I was using the included screws from the miner itself if I remember correctly.

@@ChrisLoh okay thanks

I have most of the details on my steemit post steemit.com/bitcoin/@cloh76/building-a-soundproof-enclosure-for-my-bitmain-s9-bitcoin-antminer-my-building-journey-video-included I will add them to the description above

I wanted the PSU outside of the box so I could connect it to an outlet easier. If needed it would also allow me to swap it easier as well in case I needed to replace it. Plus the PSU adds additional heat. It's quiet so I don't need to put it in the box which is the purpose of the box. dB is upwards of 75dB to 80dB without the box. With the box it is virtually cut in half to 45dB. Huge difference when you are a home miner. The heat in the box stays at a relative temp depending on the temperature that is being blown in the box. All heat is pushed out through the tubes. Typically when inside and outside of the box it stays around 70 degrees F

Thanks alot! What would you do in the summer heat to keep the temp low? Sticking one side of the tube outside maybe? Or it's fine to keep it inside

I usually route the tube out the window. Lately though, I just placed the entire setup in the garage.

Brad Boyd old video, but it worked well. As long as you have cool air flowing into it. I still have the S9 and it still works perfectly. I no longer have the cooler and housing though.

the temperature remains pretty constant since im blowing cool air into it and then in turn blowing it out. It is really meant to reduce the noise :)

Which Bracket things? The white ones that I connect the tubing to? If so, they are called draft blockers which I got from Lowe's www.lowes.com/pl/Dryer-vent-draft-blockers-Dryer-vents-accessories-Ventilation-Building-supplies/4294512310

I have ordered the new S9 Hydro which is water cooled so will eventually replace my existing S9s and will no longer need this. Using this reduces your dB by 20dB

You get about a 20dB difference.

That's God talking. He says go forth and and mine Bitcoin

yea. SHUTTERSTOCK MUSIC. Royalty free music...

Next time go Jamendo, that was annoying enough to mute it.

Thanks for the Feedback

Yea. I definitely need to do that!
