For you folks who replaced your fans, be aware that with the new firmware that increases hash-rate, the chip temperature will also increase. Might wanna keep any eye to ensure you're getting adequate cooling.
Can confirm utilization increases in my end were less than 75W on two B3s @240V.
(Using one AWP for two miners)
SP120 LEDs still doing the job at 52C in a 25C room.
Wat was the total watts used per miner?
363 watts right now. Was at 338 before the update.
Keep in mind Ive completed a fan swap. Those stock fans pull about 1.6-1.8A each.
The consumer grade fans only pull .25A. So Im cutting a bit off the wall there.
Something to think about. From a regulatory standpoint, Bitmain can only really increase power consumption +-10% before running into compliance issues. Especially without warning consumers about an increase outside of the known envelope. The changelog for these updates were vague at best.
Wat fans are those and wat rpm do they spin at?? U are saying the stock fans used 160-180watts? That cant be right...
Well, at least now we dont have to worry about GPU at all even if their rates improve I would think
Stock fans are 1.8A@12V. Everything in those miners is 12V. So about 20-25W per fan.
Switched to Corsair SP120 LEDs@.25A (12V
) and just a hair over 2000RPM. Oh ya. It is 12 volts haha
2000rpm isnt smart. The current fans can go above 5000+ rpm easy. U dont want them under cooled and risk damage.
