    Hey good video, what pump are you using in the loop?

    Hi Jordy, I like your set up. What kind of hash rate do you get with the S19(Model?), Do you overclock it,? Guess I am wondering if you still make money on it at current btc price. Also, what effect will the winter have on this setup? Thanks, (Fellow Ontarion) (Thinking about investing in a setup.)

      Thank you! It’s an S19j- 90 th/s model, and I get 91.5 th/s with it. waiting for amlogic firmware to release before I can overclock it. I’m still profitable, but only marginally. My rate here is .082 usd per kw/hr. If your exchanger is outside, the cold winter temperatures helps significantly. If you can see past the short term, it’s a great time to get into mining imo. Miner prices are really low right now. Below is where I purchased both of mine.

    Cool, do you use radiator 200L/min for 2x Avalon miner 6600watt? Is 200L/min enough for 2 units? :)

    • @BackyardBitcoin

      You’ll need a 250-300L model that states (26Kw or more) I actually have one for sale on ebay right now. The exact model you need. I’m currently cooling 6500w with this model \/

    Hi Jordy,
    Very interesting setup!
    Question? How do the miners create a perfect seal on top of the cold side? Or do you just use the weight of the miners?

    • @BackyardBitcoin
      @BackyardBitcoin  Год назад

      Hey, thanks! I adjusted the carriage bolts so that they are lined up flush with miner. By no means a “seal” but it’s flush, so next to nothing escapes out the sides. I don’t put the weight of the miners directly on them as it may cause the flow plate to break. If you have 2 of the same miners I’d recommend one solid piece along the bottom with flow holes, as it’s much stronger. I had to get creative as my miners are different sizes.

    • @SupermestRain32
      @SupermestRain32 Год назад

      @@BackyardBitcoin Thankyou for the clarification. I am currently in the designing stages of making my own immersion cooling system all from stainless steel plating. I was thinking of putting in a rubber seal on the flow plate which bolts onto the miners via the fan screw holes, creating a perfect seal. the design will also feature a sealable lid on top of the tank to prevent contamination. instead of am immersion pump, it will just have a welded on external barb fitting on the hot side, where the pump will connect too. Similar concept for the cold side aswell.

      @@SupermestRain32 I like the ideas, and good choice of building material. I added an in line gas filter vs a lid for mine just because my tanks glass. Or I’d probably just make a top for it as welll. Dust, pet hair, etc will build up over time so it’s a good idea. If you don’t have a heat exchanger yet let me know i have an extra one sitting in my garage that I want gone sooner than later! Lots of flex room on the price as well.

    Why do you have a pressure gauge and that thing that cleans the liquid? Do we need those for immersion mining? Your first one didn’t have those.

    • @BackyardBitcoin
      @BackyardBitcoin  2 года назад

      Honestly you don’t need a pressure gauge, more of a curiosity/test. But the filter was a nice addition, I have 2 cats and one is long hair, the clumps of fur would show up in and around the tank periodically, so it never hurts to have a filter.

    fwiw, i learned that bubbles are bad for an immerson system. that huge fan is probably helping a lot by being OP... but typically, you want flow across components without any bubbles at all.

    • @BackyardBitcoin
      @BackyardBitcoin  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for the info, you are correct. I have learned that this is more efficient as well…but I haven’t been able to get rid of them unfortunately. But like you said I have a plenty large heat exchanger so I can run with some bubbles.

    The air bubbles are really bad! They will get caught in the hashboards and make hot pockets. You need to tweak the setup and make it run more smooth

    • @BackyardBitcoin
      @BackyardBitcoin  11 месяцев назад

      I Haven’t had any issues with hot spots thus far. I do monitor the pcb temps often and they have been consistent, but I’m certainly open to improvements, thanks.
      What would I have to tweak to get rid of the bubbles?

    Nice work but the AC makes it really unprofitable. It’s all about using less electricity to maximize profit. There is a project that cools to a closed loop hot water tank (solar water tank). This would work along side existing water tank. So the waste heat gets recycled into hot water

    • @BackyardBitcoin
      @BackyardBitcoin  2 года назад +3

      For the record this system is profitable, my region has good electricity rates.
      But yes, The possibilities are endless. I could heat a hot tub, heat a pool, heat a driveway, heat my hot water, heat my house, heat my garage, etc.
      However the question is - do I really want to spend another up to another few thousand dollars for the these type of projects to work so I can save $25/month on my hot water tank bill, no not really.
      Using the waste heat to heat my house or garage however, would perhaps be beneficial to save $100-150/month in cool-very cold winter months for 7 months. But, that’s another extensive undertaking where I’d have to again heavily weigh the ROI point.

      @@BackyardBitcoin I was planning to do the water heating project last year until crypto prices dropped. Last winter I was heating my house by connecting insulated ducts directly into my Havoc intake. This offset the coast of natural gas significantly even with a single 3000 watt asic. There are cheap cost effective ways to do these projects. One thing you can do is connect to a Car heater core (small radiator). With blower fan directed into room or central heating. The cost will be a few hundred at most.
