Yup, those connectors can be replaced. But be wary of other damages that might not be visible, especially on an S9i.

Right. If those PCIe connectors are burnt, the data cables can be affected too. They share some lines with the power circuit which can lead to issues.

I feel you. My tips need heavy scrubbing, too! I usually just sand them, dip in flux, and hope for the best. So this brass cleaner should help keep them in shape longer, right?

Yeah, I got a power meter too. Before my upgrade, it was pulling 1320w. After the OS change, it spiked to 1420w with the wattage set to 1350. Dropped it to 1250w and saw 1370w. Got this soldering iron ordered. Looks…

Also, I tried attaching a pic, but only the link shows up. I’ve tried HTML embed, BBCode, even the image icon here. What gives?

Here’s a pic of the board. It’s at position 8, far from the PCIe connection. Still running fine without a heatsink. I can add one since I have a spare. What do you mean by the V direction of airflow?

Hey there, Just grabbed an S9 miner off Ebay and opened it up for a check. A bunch of screws were loose, and while cleaning, I noticed that Board 8 is missing a heatsink. Interestingly, it’s still hashing fine. How is…

Hey everyone I got two S19s from Anna, and I’m trying to figure out what boards would work with them. I recently upgraded one from an S9, which was super easy. I haven’t taken either apart or cleaned them yet. Both are…
