2  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Best floor fan or shop fan for cooling a rig? on: December 07, 2013, 09:35:53 PM
Hello, I have some hardware coming and I am told it runs hot and requires extra cooling...

I won't be able to install extra (or better) fans on the thing until I know what I'm looking at and there might not even be a good place to mount them...

And I want to be able to start mining as soon as the unit arrives, until I figure out what to do... so am looking on Amazon for a good floor fan / shop fan that:

1. Provides adequate cooling without overheating itself

2. Can be left on continuously

3. Isn't "too" loud (the room can contain the sound equivalent to several hairdryers and/or old vacuum cleaners but probably not a leafblower)

4. In the $100 range

I guess issue #3 can be avoided if I get one with an adjustable setting.

Do you use a floor fan for extra cooling and what can you recommend?
3  Bitcoin / Mining support / 50GH underperforming at 30GH on: December 05, 2013, 06:51:51 AM
Hello, I have a BFL 50GH that's only yielding about 30GH...

1. I emailed Butterfly's RMA for a replacement but I've been told (by others) not to hold my breath

2. Someone in a thread recommended placing it in a freezer for 10 minutes. It seemed to make 0c and 0d reactivate (as seen in screenshot)

3. I'm also trying to update the firmware or run the "auto tuner" but the normal version of EasyMiner doesn't have this option and their "beta" won't download... any ideas?

4. Another thread mentioned getting a T10 star screwdriver, opening it up and replacing the thermal paste

Any ideas on what to do next?
