Title: Looking for Block Erupter technical specifications, normal operating temp, etc? Post by: skeeterskeeter on October 10, 2013, 01:57:47 AM I was trying to find some Block Erupter technical specifications. Specifically the normal operating temperature, temperature ranges, and wattage consumption?
The best I have found is the wattage usage of 2.55watts. Is there a technical paper on them? Title: Re: Looking for Block Erupter technical specifications, normal operating temp, etc? Post by: kuusj98 on October 10, 2013, 12:26:27 PM Why would you want to find that?
Do you think they run too hot? Anyway, just take a look at the differend chips and just google them, you are most likley to find what you need in a technical decumentation of the chip.

Post by: skeeterskeeter on October 10, 2013, 04:28:50 PM I'd like to put a peltier unit on the heatsink and power it via USB port. I was trying to determine the Q maximum wattage of peltier I would need. I have found one or two that might work.
http://www.tetech.com/Peltier-Thermoelectric-Cooler-Modules/Standard/TE-63-1.4-1.5.html Theres one that is 20mm by 40mm and 29 QMax, though its much more cooling that 2.5 watt, so I was hoping to lowball the TEC on amperage and get a big heatsink for the back of it. Yes I know its stupid, won't get me anything, etc. But as we all know BE's are hobbies now. Title: Re: Looking for Block Erupter technical specifications, normal operating temp, etc?

If not, strapping it to a larger heatsink is more than sufficient for passive cooling. Title: Re: Looking for Block Erupter technical specifications, normal operating temp, etc?

I'd love to try and overclock it, I've found a few guides online, the first is the most comprehensive. http://wtfmoogle.com/?p=3334 http://www.designer2k2.at/mods/elektronik/85-block-erupter-overclocking.html It looks semi, indepth but something I could manage. Though I don't have all the tools. I could get the electrical components at Radio Shack I bet though. But I decided on the cooling first (less destructive) before I get into the OC'ing. I've always liked TEC's but never had one, just wanted to play with it. |
