Title: Does KNC Miner need VRM heat sinks? Post by: frankenmint on October 21, 2013, 08:48:41 PM I don't know where to buy some locally so I'm about to do some digging if you guys say yes they are required

Could they possibly help? maaaaaybe. So I bought some. In fact, I bought enough for the 32VRM Jupiters. Now I have 2x too many Title: Re: Does KNC Miner need VRM heat sinks?

Now I have 2x too many I bought like 50 square heatsinks for a full kit bitfury and a few small heat sinks for the vrms (I only have 4) My miner has been stellar though with no problems noted.

Post by: DigginDeep on October 24, 2013, 04:29:54 AM I bought two sets of these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007XBNMZO/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They should be here tomorrow and ill be popping them on and seeing how they work once i get home from work. I also got a few different size smaller ones. that i plan on installing on the bbb chips as well. figure it cant hurt.

Now I have 2x too many r u selling the spares? i might be interested in 16 although the ones on the amazon link are attached with 'adhesive tape' - would not thermal grease be a much better intermediary? even old pennies with a drop of TG might be better than copper coloured aluminium adhesive taped on sinks...? Title: Re: Does KNC Miner need VRM heat sinks? Post by: DigginDeep on October 31, 2013, 02:33:47 AM Mine sure did not benefit from heat sinks. Actually mine runs much better when its a bit warmer. Less error rate and higher hashing speed. Mine seems to like the mind 50s to low 60s anything lower and hashing speed starts to drop. and error rate rises
