Antminer S19 – ASIC Chip Temperature Imbalance
chip temp imbalance detected
Warning — Should be addressed soon
Symptoms
- Significant temperature variance between chips on same hashboard
- Some chips running 15°C+ hotter than others
- Possible hashrate instability
Step-by-Step Fix
Power off and inspect the hashboard heatsink mounting.
Check if thermal paste coverage is even across all chips.
Reapply thermal paste ensuring uniform thin layer on each chip.
Verify heatsink is making flat contact — warped heatsinks cause uneven pressure.
If one specific chip is consistently hotter, it may be defective and require professional replacement.
