so, seriously, what IS that in there for? To force air through heatsink. |

Filling that bottle with cold water could slow down heating of the whole box, too.

The best thing would be to add fans at the back and do push/pull and just put in a simple diverter for the air. Of course filling the 4th slot with another module would be ideal.

until its in operation for about 5 hours, the water is now 50C and not cooled, and starts to actually reduce cooling effects to less than without it.
and its for airflow btw, though I would have used other methods to divert air, such as some panel or fin |

the more I look at the avalon case design, the more I do not like, I suspect if I ever get one, it will be ripped apart and running naked on the counter with probably 2 fans per module blowing directly into the heatsink...
what would I do different?
- fully populate the case, don't design a case for 4 boards and then only fill it with 3.
- fully populate the fans, and reverse them, 3 in, 2 out (plus whatever the psu is pushing out) should create positive air pressure inside the case, and you wouldn't have the exhaust from the psu polluting the intake
- use modular PSU - would clean that mess of cables up quite a bit.
I think that would be great improvement, and extremely easy to implement.

couldn't you just turn the fans around to do that? you could also just change the psu in there. |

Just buy 3 extra fans, 1000W+ modular PSU, and an extra hashing module... and then you've got Avalon the way it should have been done. (*and in Avalon's defense, it definitely looks like that was how it was originally planned - I'm very curious to see the 6 module beast they keep hinting at...*) |

\ Or add condensation....... I'd bondo a small angular shunt in there to force the air.... also I'd load that bad boy with some Deltas for fans |

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers |

Just confirming I haven't missed some thread— have no US customers (beyond the two special units) yet received their batch 1 order?
