Hey guys,
I have had allot of messages, questions and comments about the antminer cooler box that was seen in these antminer s9 cooler reviews.
Here is a link to the video!
Well I went ahead and made a DIY antminer s9 cooler box and silencer video to help you guys silence and cool your own antminers.
In this antminer setup we will talk about the tools needed to make the antminer cooler box and a step by step method of how to construct an antminer cooling box.
6 inch diameter hole drill to cut the air input and air output ducting for the antminer cooler.
1.25 inch diameter hole drill to cut the psu and ethernet cable hole on the side of the antminer s9 cooler.
Get as much 6" INSULATED ducting as needed to cool your antminer s9 bitcoin miner.
48 QT cooler to put the antminer inside. The antminer s9 should have more than enough room in this size cooler.
After cutting the holes on the antminer cooler, you can sand down the insides of the holes to give the ducting a smoother surface to fit through on the antminer cooler.
MAKE SURE TO WIPE DOWN YOUR NEW ANTMINER S9 COOLER after you make the holes to remove an excess dust or particles from cutting the holes. You do not want that going into your brand new antminer s9.
You can also use a fan to blow away any excess debris left on the cooler, use whatever you like just make sure you clean the cooler for the antminer well!
After you have finished cutting all the holes for the cooler, you can get a piece of styrofoam to put the antminer s9 bitcoin miner to rest on. The reason we do this is to align the antminer perfectly in the center to connect the hoses to each side of your antminer.
I am using a APW3++ power supply unit from bitmain but I have seen others using the EVGA power supply for this setup as well.
You guys can hear in the video that clearly the sound from the antminer is silenced. Its does not go away but it does tone down the noise level of these antminers. I put a decibel meter next to the antminer so you can see the actual readings of the antminers decibel.
I hope this help you guys with you diy cooling hacks for the antminer.
