I have been using an S9 as a space heater all winter and loving it. Now I'm thinking of ways I can put it to use in the warmer months. One idea is a food dehydrator.
I thought that east/west would work well enough, as my panels are still in unobstructed sunlight. I'm discovering that angle toward the sun makes a huge difference as well. My next step is tilting the panels toward the sun. I'll post updates with what I learn.

I replaced the power supply fan with a quieter one from Noctua and underclock the s9 to 900 watts. If I want it quieter I can underclock it further or replace the miner fans with Noctua fans, but so far that is unnecessary.
