I have had allot of messages, questions and comments about antminer s9 cooling the antminer cooler box that was seen in these antminer s9 cooler reviews. These antminer cooling systems will also fit the antminer v9 or pretty much any other antminer.
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 cooling setup we will talk about the tools needed to make the antminer s9 cooler box and a step by step method of how to construct an antminer s9 cooling box.
The tools needed to make your antminer cooling setup;
6 inch diameter hole drill to cut the air input and air output ducting for the antminer s9 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.
REMEMBER we are trying to remove heat in this antminer cooling setup so we use insulated ducting so we does not loose the heat in the room.
48 QT cooler to put the antminer inside. The antminer s9 should have more than enough room in this size cooler.
Next step on the antminer cooling setup 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! antminer cooling is tricky but this will do the trick!
If you are trying to run a full antminer cooling setup maybe we can use this principle!
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.
For my antminer cooling setup I am using a APW3++ power supply unit from bitmain but I have seen others using the EVGA power supply for their antminer cooling 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.

Hey man. Hope ur feeling better. Love what u did here. A couple questions. Where are u putting or mounting the psu and would u put the smaller hole lower so you can sit the psu on same surface as the cooler? If you could vent directly outside, would you and how long of ducting would you use? How did u secure the ducting to the shrouds inside to keep heat out of the cooler. Thx again man. 🙏🏾
Thank you bro I really appreciate that.
1. You can mount the PSU directly on the side of the cooler.
2.I put the smaller whole aligned with the larger hole because I like to add a piece of Styrofoam under the antminer to keep it off the surface to let the heat dissipate quicker. If you want to make the two larger holes lower than you can def make the smaller hole lower as well.
3.With this setup using 6 inch ducting you do not even need the shrouds! The 6" ducting will go perfectly around the 120 mm fan than secure it with zip ties.
4.This question is a very important one. I did run many tests on the length of the duct and how if effects the performance and from my testing it looked like 3 feet was optimal but you can push it to 5 feet with no issues at all.
I hope this helps, let me know if you need anymore information and good luck on the build!
Miner Digi cool. Cool. Awesome man. I just got 2 s9's and haven't even pulled them out of the box yet. I was wondering if I drilled the smaller hole lower and layed the psu on the same surface as the cooler, would the wires from the psu be able to reach the Miner. Last question, I can literally vent these outside from where I am putting them and do so with a very short run of ducting. Is it worth it? And as for the cool side, are you filtering the air in any way? Mine are going on a top shelf in a garage where I can vent both out a small garage window but I'm worried about the air going in and where I should pull that from. Thx again man. This is gonna be a HUGE help!
I've the same query regarding the need to filter the intake side.
Thanks for the video man. I just used this method on my L3 and T9 small in-home setup. Already decreased the noise by 75%. Rigs running cooler as well.
So happy it helps bro! Good luck and keep it up!!!
how did this work in the long run please? I need to build one but want to know if its safe for the miner please. Thanks
@@tylerdurdena.k.a.bradboyd8445 did you do it how did it do in the long run
you are so inspiring man .... really thanks
Definitely thinking outside the cooler on this one! Great vid 👍
Blake Khoury Thank you! 🙏🏽
What interesting video topic should I cover Blake???
Miner Digi I’d be interested in a video about the networking side of the mining game.... How all S9s and GPU rigs link up to your network.. What ethernet switches you prefer over others.. Are certain cables better than others.. Technical stuff like that?
For everyone that watched this need to also put the psu inside the cooler towards the suction side to allow it to breathe. Do no tape up the intake side to allow airflow for both the miner and psu. The main focus to quiet the miner is to tape the exhaust side to your insulated duct to get the hot air and sound levels down
Excellent video pal! I'm looking forward doing it any time soon as I live in a small house and even when I keep the miners (two D3) in a basement one can still hear them and forget about doing anything in the basement (I have my pc there). I only have one question : did you use exhaust adapters where you connected the ducting? Because the cooler is square shaped and the ducting is cylindrical. Thank you!
Good idea bro ! Thanks
Could you add those frozen plastic ice blocks inside the box to help keep it cool too?
Hi, I wondered what you DB Meter showed after the S9 had finished it's "Startup" and the Cooler Box lid was closed and ducting etc was fitted properly? etc.. So when the Miner was at full noise, in the box..? I can't quite make it out on the DB Meter screen in the video..? Cheers
What are these tubes called? this is amazing
Would a 4inch hole saw with 4inch duct be okay? Or would the hole be too small? TIA
I made one and have an s9 running in my detached garage. Did this work out in the long run? Someone was claiming the ducting shouldn't go directly over the fan because airflow is needed over the whole unit. Is that true? It definitely runs hotter when I took it off the fan but the airflow from the ducting feels about the same. It's just fine now but the summer is coming!
How many db quiter does it get though?
for how many machines would this seem practical?
Hey Miner Digi, love the setup, do you think this is suitable for a non air conditioned space?
Awesome video ..thank you so much Dude!!..liked and subscribed!!….Already!
More please!!….😆😆
How does the miner go long term like this?
Can a electric cooler or mini fridge work? Cut out the intake and exhaust side and place it in the garage?
how did this work long term?
hi, tienes aire acondicionado en la habitación o que temperatura tienes en el ambiente? saludos de venezuela
hello. . . do you recommend this for Antminer S19J Pro?
How you do this with multiple l3. Wouldnt you want to point that exhuast out a window.
Does this work with the T17+?
Would this work for the L3+?
That's how we used to make fog machine coolers other than we added ice in there ;)
Super Cool Rob!
can we use polyfoam box ?
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You... enough with the companies over charging when home made works
Nice video. You can smell the iMovie.
thanks for sharing such a trick, i just have a question, we do still need to have cold air flow inside the box through the pipe right ?
Yes the cooler the better!
@@MinerDigi so where you get cold air? Just leaving the A/C on?
Where did you set your cooler at? Near the exhaust vent to outside? Or just center of living room?
does this works during summer?
How about a t17+? It's a double decker
Hey man how much did this miner cost you?
Could not see the dBA meter, so. we don't know how quiet it ts
Brilliant.
is it better to install it in the barn? :)
Should've measured the centerline from the bottom of cooler (inside) to center of miner fan centerline.
How many year miner has worked inside box
Hi, nice video would you kindly add the link on amazon for the insulation duct, I can not find the same name as it shows in the beginning of your video. Thanks a lot for the instructions. :)
Manolo! I just saw your email, sorry! I answered everything you needed, hopefully 😀😀
Here is the link for the ducting:
www.amazon.com/Speedi-Products-FD-25R8-06-Insulated-Metalized/dp/B0085UZQ2E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1518527376&sr=8-3&keywords=6"+insulated+flexible+duct
GET THE R8 its more efficient!
During installation is a function of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. As such ac system is not complete without the ducts through which heated or cooled air is distributed throughout a building. Although the most basic ducting is made from sheet metal, most of the ducting in residential applications is insulated. Examples are the R6 and R8 ducting systems. Further we will compare R6 vs R8 ducting and review pros and cons of both.In these two, the R-value is used to indicate a thermal insulator’s effectiveness in resisting heat conduction. It is measured relative to thermal conductance and takes into account the thickness of the material and energy conducted in relation to the area and differences in temperature between the two sides of the material.
Differences between R6 and R8 ducting systems.
Thickness in insulting materialThe thickness in the ducting materials used to make R6 and R8 ducting is one of the glaring differences between the two. In essence, R8 ducting uses thicker insulation than R6 ducting. This means that if you were to do air conditioning installation using R8 ducting, you get better installation than if you are using R6 ducting.Efficiency of heat insulationWhen it comes to efficiency of heat insulation R6 ducting if less efficient than R8 ducting. In essence, R8 reduces energy loss by approximately 2 percent, which is equivalent to consuming less energy by 3 percent.CostR8 ducting comes with a wider diameter than that of R6 ducting and thus will cost more. The higher cost of R8 ducting could also be due to its efficiency in insulation and energy saving. So, if you are doing ducting installation with R8 ducting, be prepared to pay more for it.
The following are the disadvantages of R6 ducting:Using R6 ducting in your ducting installation means you get a less efficient HVAC system.Air conditioning installation using R6 ducting allows for less air flow due to its smaller diameter.The following are the advantages of R6 ducting:R6 vs R8 ducting is cheaper, meaning you pay less for material cost.R6 has a smaller diameter and therefore can be used to replace older ducts during airconditioning installation without having to expand the spaces where the ducts go through.Compared to R4, which is lower rated ducting, R6 offers greater thermal efficiency and therefore saves energy. However, it is not as efficient as R8 ducting.
Cons of R8 ducting:The following are the disadvantages of R8 ducting:Using R8 ducting when doing your air conditioning installation is more as expensive compared to using R6 ducting.R8 ducting is thicker and might not, therefore, properly replace lower diameter R6 when you decide to upgrade your ducting installation.Pros of R8 ducting:The following are the advantages of R8 ducting:R8 ducting offers greater thermal efficiency due to its thicker insulation. So if you use it in your air conditioning installation, you get all the heat you require out of it.With R8 ducting, you pay less for your energy utility bills due to the efficiency it comes with.
That was a deep explanation.... thanks :)
you're very welcome
What's the name of the intro song?
What was the optimum length of duct you used on each side of the cooler?
3 feet is the optimum length for each side but you can push it to 6 safely
Thanks
What would the impact be of not using any ducts? Just making the holes?
no bueno. the impact would be less fresh air intake and a hot box.
how did this work in the long run please? I need to build one but want to know if its safe for the miner please. Thanks
Mine is still very loud despite the whole setup :/ sound seems to come out mostly out of the vents
@@Arya885 Decibel went from 80dB to 73dB - if you pause it just after he closes the lid, you can see the reading....not a great reduction if you ask me.....attach the end of the tube to another box with a hole might help
I just recieved a Antminer z9, and i was wondering if you or any1 els made a box like this. The z9 dont have a fan on the back, but thats still where it blows in air. The front fan is 6.6 inches. And the back "triangle" as there is no fan is 7 inches. Both messearude in diameter. Will the link of the 6 inch work for the front fan? I mean since Its flexibel the 0.6 difference might be the same on the S9 fan?
My Z9 mini just arrived too and I'm working on a similar solution. I plan to get a much smaller cooler from Walmart, attach 3 ft of insulated ducting on the intake side (with the fan), and maybe only 1 or 2 ft of ducting on the output, since as you mentioned, there is no fan.
Alvin Manning Happy to hear that you also are trying to make one. The Only problem is that the back is were the outblow from the machine is, so if theres no air ventilation there its gonna get super warm in there and maybe harm the antminer!

The CFM being pushed out of these fans is around 200 I think, should be plenty to push through a few feet of ducting, just keep an eye on your board and chip temps. I try to keep my max chip temps at 60 or below for the Z9 Mini.
Great video, question why use 6" instead of 4" duct? did you try smaller?
Manolo I made a video testing the different shrouds and the issue with he 4" shroud is that its just not large enough. The opening for the fan blade is over 4 inches so scientifically speaking you are causing a severe case of ventilation obstruction, in essence you would need another inline fan to get over the obstruction value rather than using 6 inch ducting to help the air flow easier with no obstruction =) I hope that helps and sums it up.
Helps a lot buddy thanks.... one more: :) did you try longer or shorter ducts? I understand the longer it is the lower noise, but this can again cause problems with ventilation or not?
Tried allot and the shorter the duct the better. Remember its all about air resistance. I am going to put make a page on my website all about it.
I understand the air resistance, but how about the noise is not affected by the longer it is?
upload the video :)
Nice tutorial. How much the actual dB drops?
Thank you! The DB didnt drop too much to be honest, maybe only a couple points but the pitch and frequency dropped 100 fold. It kills the sounds extremely well.
I bought three A3 Asics , Are they about the same size ? Can I use three Ice chests or what do recommend ?
The A3 are 321mm*125mm*208mm and the S9's are 350mm(L) x 135mm(W) x 158mm(H) So they are very similar. Yup I would use 3 separate coolers if you are trying to run this indoor and vent outside.
Thanks for your help. I have a dedicated bedroom for mining. I have lots of heat from 41 GPU's and a Baikal X10 , but I have a 20 inch exhaust fan to exhaust most of the heat from the room. I wonder If I point the hoses toward the ceiling it would be adequate ? At the moment I am drawing cool outside air , but I will need to keep the A/C on 73 in the summer .
As it is , the room will probably be around 80 degrees with a 73 degree setting . I hate lowering more because its too cold in the rest of the house. I ordered 4 DCR1's and will add more Baikals. Any ideas on how to control the heat in summer ?
Good
hey, what is the name of the fan adapter and where to buy it
Antminer fan shrouds. You can find plenty of sellers on eBay or amazon.
Miner Digi - Thanks! but Not in Germany 🤔🤨
sorry
Tehee good for a video but if there is a melt down that cooler will burn hot hot hot on fire
Hey dude, so what do you if you have a whole farm? (100 miners +)
You need 100 coolers science :)
can this work on a goldshell KD5?
i am interested too ! does it work with kd5?
Just tried this method. Sound reduction was drastic. Though I'm not sure why but after a few minutes it over heats, and fault light turns on.
Is your psu Inside or outside of the cooler? How long is the ducting for your intake and exhaust ?
PSU is outside. Ducting is 12 feet on each side but i think that's my flaw. It bends around the corners of the room. I'm starting to think I need to do like you have it and trim it down to 3 ft each side.
Yes !! Do not exceed that
Brother this is crucial , especially for intake side!
cool. Thanks man. And thanks for the Vid. It's helped me a lot.
I am in central Florida and i have 10k to set up a mining setup that doesn’t need much maintenance. What do u suggest
Are you trying to stay with ASIC mining or GPU?
Miner Digi whatever has less maintenance.. from my research sounds like asic? Brad.truhomes@gmail.com
Yes I would go ASIC. Florida is rough, I am here as well. If you are going to go with only 3 S9's which is around $3k each now, I would keep them in a well cooled room vented with 6 inch insulated ducting right outside my window =) Do not make the duct longer than 3 FEET! If you want to go with longer than 3 feet duct than you fan add a speed controlled inline duct fan to make up for the length in ducting. Hope this helps!

Live in Virginia and use this in the summer! Works great to help push the exhaust outside.
Hi Miner Digi, why not longer than 3 feet? It is not the length which makes less noise?
Guys the problem is the fan. Find the right replacement fan and it’s quiet. Problem is what fans and how to put on S19
Why not a mini refrigerator?
disappointed with my electricity bill loss project,,how consume less electricity antiminers9
I got a perfect idea. Best way to muzzle the sound, stick it in your refrigerator. No, just kidding, don't do that lol.
That's funny I was testing mine out today and struck it in the laundry room. It heated up due to being contained and I thought about opening the fridge door and sticking it in front of it, lol. I didn't do it, but almost did.
Do i need air condition .?
You do!
kill the music
Good .. but add mafler from car and no nise
I made one in my antminer shroud testing and it worked quite well to silence it.
they need to make these 0db passive cooled that noise is too much.
Hi Alice... any ideas?? I can build it :)
@@MinerDigi remove card and glue it to big alu monoblock at least 1 meter high and use office fan? :)
@@alicedunstan1441 or just use some mineral oil, a radiator with pump and an old fish tank?
Just Oil cool it.
Out of business?
Comon man, you didnt need to pick a tile room to do this in. Goose your results much???? I guess your entire house is tile.
The miner wasnt at his max speed yet! The sound will increase by almost double when it will start to mine.
we did this but built a box! we attempted the cooler but wasn't working out.
Jorden Kaufman do you have images? Not working in what way? Describe the issue that is occurring. It works perfect every time, I have built over 50 now with not 1 issue. It’s pretty simple process so I don’t know how you can mess up the build. 😊 Send over some images and diagnostic information of your problem and I will help you.
well we ended up just building a rack. it holds 14 machines and has a exhaust out the back
Jorden Kaufman so you didn’t make a cooler box. I wouldn’t recommend this for more than one unit bud.
no we built a box and a filter system
As long as it is working!
get rid of the music dude, your voice is tooo quiet and echoy music sounds like a old 90s DOS game
My PSU is louder than my l3+
This is just a sound box
That's one way to cut the lifespan of an ASIC card in half..
False. What’s your explanation for this statement?
@@MinerDigi You do realize the ambient temperature at core, not exhaust points will be way hotter when you seal the lid? Use mineral oil or leave it alone your ducting at the initial point of exhaust will conduct way higher than normal free flow values, this is the most pointless thing I have ever seen when it comes to mining.
Obvious statement, ambient temperature at core is always hottest that is why there are two 120mm fans running at 5k-6k rpm to dispel the core temp. If you are running this cooler in an AC environment the ambient temp inside the cooler actually becomes cooler with flow and deduction rates but you know that right? I have done mineral oil cooling systems as well as open air straight flow. Theory is all fine and dandy but my statements are based on facts, variables and outcomes. Your statement is so far from being correct it amazes me, but hey we have all learning to do.
😂🤣😅🤭
It's ghetto enough to work
😂🤣
hey man get a basement
They don't have them in Florida lol.
They don't have them in TX either... Sucks. lol
@@Neverkilltime yeah my apt doesnt have a basement either. LoL, I hope this works, I'm about to build one
Brad Boyd I built one and it worked great! My Z9 mini fan did go out after about 6 months of running 24/7 but I can’t blame it on the cooler.
