Isn't the ModMinerQuad a scam? I feel like these are fake questions posted by a fake user to try to give legitimacy to the existence of ModMinerQuad miners...

Solution: Use an open-air rig with huge-ass case fans.  Best of both. |

My thinkpad actually has seperate heatpipes and heatfins for the CPU and GPU, but it shares the same fan. I can't mine on it though, because the HD 3xxx series in this doesnt support openCL  |

Don't be surprised if this bot is running a specifically unoptimized algorithm to decide how to trade, which in turn leads to more profitability for the creator. Never trust bots that aren't programmed by yourself. The only bot that can truly be on your side is one you've written from absolute scratch.

Sounds like it's just missing the 5V wire, and one of the grounds. If the MMQ needs any 5V power at all, it will just crash. It can't harm anything, however, so might as well try it.
Not so sure. What if it uses both the 5V and 12V to distribute the current load, resulting in only 12v overloading the current somewhere and causing damage? Idk if such a design would ever be used. Your best bet is using a multimeter to determine if it actually is drawing power on the 5V line. |

That's because the engines produce heat in a small space, much like how a CPU or GPU does. The radiator distributes the heat from the small point. The heatsinks on your GPUs and CPUs does the same and it does enough.

Since that guy's trying to sell one here, I have one for sale too. 2 bitcoins. 2GHZ Intel dual-core and 4 GB of RAM. It's three years old. One of these. No HDD though.  PM me if interested. |

I have read a lot of people saying this is a scam. But has anyone received they're miner. I was thinking about buying one. But I don't know. I see people selling they're preorders on ebay. Does anyone think it's worth purchasing?
if u can wait ~ 1 year, yes one year i said ... order ... so far .. about 35 people got their items .. 35 from 100k+ probably Let me rewrite this post in a more emphasized and clear manner. Only 0.035 PERCENT of orders have actually been "fulfilled" in the past... EVER. Yes, that's less than half, of HALF of ONE percent. At this rate, it should take them only 5714 years to fulfill all of the orders that they have been PAID for. So, yes! If you are willing to wait that long to get your miner, then sure. It's a great idea to buy one. |

It's simply because there are no walls to hold in or restrict the air. However I'm not sure how good of an idea an open rig is, because then all the components are much more susceptible to accidental damage.
except that air Flow cools better than static air. it seems to me that a case with air forced to flow through it would cool better than cards just sitting out in the open. But i could be wrong which is why i asked if anyone actually tested it. The hot air it creates rises over the cold air (because physics) and essentially creates it's own airflow. A box disallows this as hot air builds up on the top. |

Solution: Never give BFL any money.

Oh wow. I've never seen those before! YOU COULD HAVE INFINITE VIDEO CARDS IN EACH BOARD!

That's not passive. That's active. I'm sure it would work just fine, a similar device is used in the viDock. However it's not cheap AT ALL and it's much better to buy a dedicated desktop.

Hot hot? It's normal for it to get hot. Computers operate just fine at up to 50 degrees higher than what we feel is uncomfortable.
My T400 doesn't get too hot even when I'm running burn in tests.

You ever purchased a used ThinkPad? If the BIOS has a password, you can't do SHIT. Can't reset, can't boot off CD/DVD/USB, can't do anything. The only way to get around it is to physically unsolder the BIOS chip from the motherboard, and solder a new, unpassword-protected BIOS chip on. They take their anti-theft measures very seriously. My recommendation is to grab an old Dell or HP off ebay. Or a refurb unit from Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230808There are all kinds of laptops/nettops for <$200 that would fit your bill. Then don't purchase a used thinkpad that has a bios password. |

as long as you have clearance and don't damage your motherboard? usually, not everything works as intended but it's supposed to.
Dang. I could do that with a dremel, just drill away the plastic at the end. Why don't they do that normally? Would be great for fitting two GPU's right into the case of most desktops that don't have a x16 slot. |

uxsms = DWM. see wikipedia for what it does.
The freezing is basically a direct result of mining, because mining loads up your GPU with work, and so much work, that it just barely has any time to update and render the screen. DWM is a part of windows that uses your GPU to accelerate and render the display, for faster performance normally. With it disabled, your CPU will be doing the work of rendering the display instead of the GPU. |

not the link i remembered but some good info: http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=42It is not very well known, but the PCIe specification electrically supports down-plugging a card in a smaller link connector, such as an x16 card in an x1 connector. However PCIe mechanically prevents down-plugging by closing the end of the connector, for a reason that I do not understand. Some motherboards require pins A1 and B17 to be shorted for an x16 card to work in an x1 connector. Wait. So if I remove the end of a PCI-E 1x connector on the motherboard, so that a PCI-E 16x card will slide into the slot, it would just work?! |

Good grief. Nobody listens to me.

Well, That's a really tough question. |
