Title: Operating Temperatures for BFL Gear? Post by: Shockwavesix on November 23, 2013, 12:03:01 AM Hello all,
Currently running 3 pieces of mining hardware, and I am curious if my temps are within spec, or if I need extra cooling. They are currently set up amongst the telecom & network equipment at work, where I know that airflow and heat from other equipment makes things non-optimal. I am somewhat restricted by needing to keep them out of sight and out of notice. - BFL stock Jalapeno, averaging about 5.3 GH/s, running at 48-50c - BFL firmware-upgraded Jalapeno, averaging about 8 GH/s, running at about 54c - BFL Little Single. This unit initially sounded like a friggin Tornado. I stripped the case off, flipped the heatsink fan to blow down instead of up, and replaced the chassis fan with a Cooler Master 120mm Silent fan. This resulted in a massive reduction in noise and a 10c reduction in temperature. Currently averaging 31-32 GH/s at 71c Thanks for any input. Title: Re: Operating Temperatures for BFL Gear?

Title: Re: Operating Temperatures for BFL Gear? Post by: crazybonkers on November 25, 2013, 04:40:59 AM I am running BFL upgraded Jalapeno, averaging about 7 GH/s, running at about 36c. My temps are low because I took the casing off the unit which dropped the temperature down from 54 to 36. I think the case relay restricts the air flow. If you are able to remove the casing... Go for it, you will see a lower temperature.
As for you other units, I cant help you there, although my guess is you will see a nice drop in temperatures if you remove the case. _R_ |
