Equipment arrived in great shape and works perfectly. Thank you nostr:npub1q4zl8v0cpeu0lv47msq2z0jpkr2q3wq5d4ukylxg9sx7t7rcz0uq5ftv7q !

So far I have replaced the PSU fan and tinkered with braiins.

Next steps: after a lot of research (mostly digesting others experiences and work) I opted to go for the 2x 140 mm noctua fan set-up over the more intense AC Infinity Cloudline S6. This was solely because of cost trade-offs and the fact that the S9 will be underclocked and not delivering much bitcoin anyway. I still need to explore adapter options for attaching these fans to the miner - there are some nice 3D models out there, but I don’t have a printer and shipping from a retailer makes these options more expensive.

If I ever do this with a more modern miner it would be a very different decision and an interesting path with equipment like the njord board by Pivotal Pleb Tech that opens the door to better cooling at a higher cost.
