Title: Looking for a picture Post by: Two4D on June 13, 2014, 09:16:43 PM Hello, I am looking of a picture with 2 Antminer USB miners inside two bottles filled with oil for cooling.
So if anyone have that image, please post :) Title: Re: Looking for a picture Post by: TheRealSteve on June 13, 2014, 10:45:27 PM are you sure you're not thinking of this?

Title: Re: Looking for a picture Post by: TheRealSteve on June 14, 2014, 02:59:41 PM Well, those are Block Erupters, rather than Antminer U1/U2's - thus my asking if that's the one you meant - but, sure, you could do that. I'm pretty sure you can just as well leave the heatsinks on, though. These little miners generally don't generally even need active cooling, so immersion cooling seems overkill and messy, and the heat still has to go somewhere once the oil temp is saturated. But if you are going to do it, make sure you use a nice clean mineral oil - cooking oil and such is a recipe for disaster ;)

Well I would like to build a really awesome looking station with 2 of those erupters. Also is just a mineral oil good, or does it have to be any special oil? Title: Re: Looking for a picture Post by: TheRealSteve on June 14, 2014, 04:21:37 PM Doesn't have to be a special oil - just don't use cooking oil of any sort, mineral oil is the best in terms of cheap and readily available. There's that 3M fluid, but it's overkill and very expensive - leave that to people who are experimenting with densely packed blades :)
