BTC Sessions has a good vid on setting up an s9 as a heater
ooo yeah that’s right i meant to check that out.
It can be a bit of a rabbi hole but worth it according to a fren. Easiest is just plugging it in, figuring out the IP address of the miner on your local network, logging into it via web browser to configure it (mining pool setup) and then letting it run. Good videos on Youtube and other places on the interwebs. Then if you want to quiet it down you can mod it by removing fans, plugging spoofers into the unit so it thinks there are still fans connected and hooking up quieter fans (Noctua, A/C Infinity duct blower fans, etc). Another mod is to replace stock firmware with something like Braiins+ which will optimize to maximum your hashrate per watt (maximize your income/cost).
Kaboomracks is good
Spoofers are something like this

You can find A/C Infinity and Noctua fans on places like Amazon.
If you go the duct blower fan route you might also need an adaptor, which you can get on Amazon, eBay, from nostr:npub1lrjgpa9m2dl6esdah5pq7m005ymwh4glq4aet76q2zlz2f83esfsa2zvrj
