The D3 operates 10 C hotter than the L3 on a normal day. They're going to be tough on a hot day. I've ordered a 12kBTU portable aircon from gmc. Should be arriving today.

I've also decided to move my portable aircon in to help on those super hot days. I suppose the added cost will be worth the peace of mind.

Also, the D3s can get shafted, I'm selling mine soon as it lands. lol.

:D
I'm going to run mine as long as I can. 6 months ROI from when my PSU lands is my estimate, but it could get worse. Hoping for Dash to go up.
 
Hehe! Yeah I'm just pissy about it. Will run it into the ground as long there's a positive return.

Although, still looking around for a virgin and 100 goat to sacrifice to the crypto gods to bless us with another booming x11 coin.

Goats, like virgins for that matter, are hard to come by in Pretoria...

Chip reports around 70-75C to the L3+'s 50-60C

Hi did they mail about PSU?

I've received nothing yet. This is what appears in my sales portal:

They were all ordered on the same day - only the D3s have arrived. No word on email about the PSUs.

That is pretty hot... What cools it internally? Tiny little psu fans?

Each chip has it's own heat sink and there's a big fan on either end to draw cool air over all the heat sinks.

The L3+ has 288 processors :o

Dayam. No wonder they run so hot...

Yip, that's about what mine runs. Yesterday and the day before, the ambient temp right next to the output fan is around 36 degrees.
 
Hi everybody, I am looking for a cheap or free Antminer S5. I know they are not profitable anymore but I want to mine a heap of cheap alts.
 
A new batch of L3+ available from Bitmain, December delivery.
 
Right, so, a teeny tiny chance I can change my ordered D3 to an S9. I can't help but think x11 is going to recover, but what say ye? Would you do it?

Right now I would, based on the fact that the L3+ has been pretty stable by comparison, but maybe everyone else is thinking like me and ordering them lol. Order the L3+ and let's talk when it gets here. I have 2x D3s and would swap one :D
