Regular maintenance is the key to extending the lifespan of your ASIC miner. Dust and dirt are the main enemies of any equipment. Regularly clean your miners to prevent overheating, ensure stable operation, and maintain high profitability for your ASIC.

The Tools To Clean an ASIC:

1. A soft-bristle brush.
2. Anti-static gloves (recommended).
3. A vacuum cleaner with an electronic-compatible nozzle (optional).
4. A screwdriver set or an electric screwdriver with interchangeable bits.
5. A can of compressed air or an electric portable air compressor.

ASIC Cleaning Process:

1. Turn off and unplug the device:

   • Disconnect the miner from its power source.

   • Allow the device to cool down before cleaning.

   • Remove protective fan grilles, if present, by unscrewing the four bolts.

     

2. Use compressed air:

   • Gently blow compressed air or air from a compressor through the ventilation holes to remove dust.

     

   • Avoid holding the canister too close to prevent condensation.

   • Stabilize the fans to prevent them from spinning, which could generate current in the ASIC board.

3. Brush away dust:

   • Use a soft brush to gently remove any remaining dust from the circuit boards and fans.
   • Work carefully to avoid damaging fragile components.

4. Optional vacuuming:

   • If accessible, set your vacuum cleaner to low power and carefully extract dust from hard-to-reach areas.

     

5. Inspect ventilation:

   • Ensure the fans are functioning correctly and free from obstructions that might hinder their movement.

     

6. Repeat regularly:

   • Cleaning is recommended every 1–3 months, depending on the dust level in your environment.

Warnings:

• Do not use wet cloths or liquid cleaning products, as they pose a hazard.
• Use only pure ethanol for stubborn dirt — it evaporates quickly and dries without residue.
• Always wear anti-static gloves to protect the electronic components from static electricity.
• If the dust cleaning didn’t help to achieve the desired results, it means the thermal paste needs to be replaced.
• If you're not confident in your abilities or require professional servicing, visit a service center or electronics repair shop. Specialists can maintain your device quickly and efficiently.
