Title: Avalon Module Standalone
Post by: rupy on March 19, 2013, 10:01:21 AM
Hi, what would be needed to run a Avalon module standalone?

And can you underclock it so it can be passively cooled unsealed?

Do you mean each individual board?

The actual avalon units are standalone. They require no PC, only an internet connection.

The units can have the clocks altered. Not sure why you would want to do it. They only run ~60C, not very hot at all.

Yes I would like to run a silent 20GH module outside any case on a fanless 150W PSU...

You will need avalon controller to be able to do that. I doubted that even underclocked you could run it outside case. You need airflow to cool chips down
