Any update to this? Where can you get these water blocks and how much?
I'm very sorry to respond to you so long, has been busy recently, put this post to forget Sad
Reply to everyone today, if you have any goode ideas pls tell me, i will try to do it.

In Russia they are actually taking advantage of the heat produced by miners, and they have built water cooled Bitfury-based miner (Sunrise series).
So those miners are not only mining btc, but also working as 'water boilers'.
Ja. As I've brought up before, I'd think miners supplying heat for thermal pool spa's would be a great way to go. Beats using only gas or electric as direct heat!

It would be a really nice project to grab some old Ant C1's, then upgrade them with some Hotmine (Bitfury 16nm) boards and hook them up to a bath tub via a heat exchanger.  Cheesy

Few of those and you could even build a spa resort for people interested in Bitcoin.

If anybody is interested, you are free to use this as a business idea.  Grin
You are really a funny guy Smiley

I dont think it is smart either. One error and water leaks, damaging equipment and is a safety hazard. Dont forget, these things are run 24/7. I juz dont find it smart. The miners are alaays placed closely together. It could be a catastrophe if water leaks everywhere.

However, I am curious, at wat temperatures do they run at?
Your question is similar with a friends above, roll up to have a look.

This is also a good way to dissipate heat, maybe I would make a study of it.
mainly aspects are cooling oil and dust-free environment.

Water cooling is an excellent way to harvest the heat. You guys are laughing at this meanwhile it's -30 here tonight and I could heat my house with maybe 10-12 s9s. Then just dump the excess heat outside with a PID controlled fan/rad.

The cost you say? Tell that to people around here who have spent $40,000 on geothermal.

But there's no real use in an industrial setting unless you have an actual need for the heat.
You are right, I live in the north, the winter is very cold Sad

That looks like an insane amount of work and money that you will never get back. Its interesting as a proof of concept but completely useless in the real world.
We have three ideas:
1.Reduce machine noise and temperature
2.improve the life of mining machine
3.Use the heat transferred to do something else

Nice Project.  Could you help us out a bit?

1) What is the model of water pump you're using?

2) Looks like custom water block solution.  Is it replicable for us?  How?  Can we buy them?

3) What is the operating temperature you're achieving?  Can you give us a screenshot?

4) Would love to know how loud the entire rig is.  Surely the water pump makes noise, and the fans on the radiator make noise as well?

Looks like a great project, but I'd like to see the real results for "Frozen & Quiet."  If it's true, I'd be the first one to buy 8 miners worth!  It's either that, or I'm dunking them in mineral oil with a radiator.  I can't seem to find anyone anywhere who's successfully cooled 8+ Antminer S9's with mineral oil, water cooling, or anything else portable.

I've got free utilities in my apartment and want to find the best way to get this done in a small footprint that's rather contained!
I'm very sorry to respond to you so long, always been busy recently, put this post to forget Sad
1 . I use a small centrifugal pump, the model is SC-750, syscooling products
2 . You can contact syscooling at https://syscooling.en.alibaba.com/
3 . screenshot here https://s1.ax1x.com/2018/01/26/pq0jEQ.png
4 . SC-750 pumps and low-speed fans on the radiator are all very quiet and I think they are negligible; the miner fans speed dropped to 700 and 1300 RPM, the noise goes down too.

Did you read the guide and see all the pictures?
This is done with a S9.

Very cool project, thanks for sharing!  Smiley
Are you staff member in the Syscooling company?
Could you share the details where to buy parts needed to setup this kit?

Would it leak in the long run?
7 * 24 run for a month, did not found leaks yet, in fact security issues are easy to solve, you can choose non-conductive liquid

Dong yuan launching Ebit E9+ mining machine water cooling kit
by

on 06/12/2017, 07:28:35 UTC
Dong yuan launching Ebit E9+ mining machine water cooling kit, Effective noise reduction and cooling, stability hashrate.

Last week, Dong yuan water cooling kit who aim at Ebit E9+ mining machine developed successfully, through some friends trying, and the effect is ideal, reduce the mining machine noise and temperature effectively, hashrate also becomes relatively stable.

Not only the effect is remarkable, but also the price of water cooling kit is reasonable, and the cost performance is very good.

https://s2.postimg.org/5r0ijpoll/image.jpg

The details of the kit:

1.  E9 water cooling kit

https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/o4MM4.png

2.One-by-one cooling kit

https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/o4QsJ.png

3.One-by-two cooling kit

https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/o4uzF.png

Tips:

>>E9 water cooling kit only include water cooling plate and  necessary accessories for heat absorbing, the customers who are longing the free water resource can purchase E9 water cooling kit separately, other customers need  match one-by-one or one-by-two cooling kit to make up the complete water cooling system.

>>One-by-two cooling kit mean that every set of cooling kit can support two sets of E9 water cooling kits.

>>Modification has risk, please purchase this kit after ensuring your DIY ability.

>>Once the product is sold, if appear the quality problem, we willprovide free warranty service, not support return.

>>Purchasing represent that you understand and willing to take risk in the process of modification.

(22)install the flexible tube, water separator, pagoda head and plug together.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/oh6v4.jpg

(23)temperature is low in winter, first,we can put the flexible tube in hot water for a few second, make it softer and they are easy to plug to  the pagoda.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohRbR.jpg

(27)water pump inlet and outlet connect a flexible tube of water cooling plate.
(cooling kit is one-by-two, that mean one set can cooling for two E9 at the same time, in this show we only connect one E9, if connect two E9, you can make the water pump outlet connect to two inlet soft tube of two E9 water cooling plate by the tee. )
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohhUx.jpg

(28)the other soft tube of water cooling plate  connect radiator.

(33)then start changing line, firstly, cut off two fan extension lines and the connector of water pump power line.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohT2D.jpg

(34)and then cut off a connector of the mining machine fan,
(if other fan need to change to the low speed fan, you can play your best, syscooling provide low speed and temperatrue control fan, this time we are not modify the other fan.)
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohqrd.jpg

(35)strip off 4 red lines of the line after cutting, connect these together.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohvIP.jpg

(36)strip off 4 black lines of the line after cutting, connect these together.

(37)after cutting
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohjat.jpg

(38)connect the power source for fan of the mining machine, after adding the liquid , we can connect other power connector.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohXVI.jpg

(39)put the water pump in a higher position, start adding liquid.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/o4pRS.jpg

(40)screw off this injection plug.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/ohzPf.jpg

(41)electrify the mining machine, meanwhile adding the liquid, notice that moment mining only connect the power connector of fan, other connectors don’t connect now.
https://s1.ax1x.com/2017/12/06/o4SG8.jpg

(42)finish modification, in the end, after making sure there are no mistake, we can connect other power line and cable.

:shakehead

Noob, if you use well water, dont do direct heat exchanging. You will fuck up your waterblock and contaminate the water vein.


Do it right and do non direct heat exchanging. You can keep your waterblook alot longer with proper coolant too.


Run three consecutive months, No problem, As long as no copper, Only plastic and aluminum, is ok

They should include at least tubes and connectors but anyway too much hassle with watercooling.
Also shipping price (to Russia) kills the deal: 0.443 BTC for 1 piece!

C1 water cooling kit already includes pipes, fittings and so on. Liquid with distilled or deionized water. The EMS shipping 60 $.
