Samson Mow of Blockstream recently shared some alarming news from the community of Bitcoin (BTC) miners who use Bitmain’s Antminer S17 and T17 rigs.
When it’s Too Hot
According to Mr. Mow, many customers that utilize Bitmain’s mining gear are reporting the technical issues with Antminer S17 and Antminer T17 mining rigs. The first issue is that the heat sinks are falling off, which make the machines short out.
Normally, heat sinks are designed to transfer the heat generated by mining gear. It has also been reported that users are suffering from problems with power supply fans.
