Title: [Gridseed/LightningAsics] Bitcoin Miners are steaming and hot? Post by: AJMiles on March 21, 2014, 10:14:45 PM Who else has gridseed/lightning asics miners and is mining bitcoin?
Have you noticed it is hot mostly when you are doing DUAL MODE: LTC + BTC and BTC ONLY? When I am mining litecoin (scrypt) the power supply is VERY cool. I am using the standard power supply as shown in these pictures: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=519093 https://i.imgur.com/Qu1rDOZ.jpg Title: Re: [Gridseed/LightningAsics] Bitcoin Miners are steaming and hot?

I knew they usually run a little hotter than scrypt; however, the difference was quite noticeable. Thanks for reconfirming. Do you, or anyone else have tips for cooling when running dual mode? LTC + BTC ? Title: Re: [Gridseed/LightningAsics] Bitcoin Miners are steaming and hot? Post by: dimfot on March 22, 2014, 06:22:35 PM Well my friend I'm still waiting for mine to come. But extra fans always make a difference also you can try stacking them one on the other and make a column like rig it may help the airflow but in dual mode i'm not sure how middle seeds will react. Just sharing my idea. Good luck

Yeah, it seems like my room is not fit for these miners The garage generally stays cool, but then again, we are in California, so its always hot. haha, thanks for the advice though, I was thinking the same thing.

You may not even need the fan in scrypt only mode, removing it saves another 2w! Title: Re: [Gridseed/LightningAsics] Bitcoin Miners are steaming and hot?
