Making the BFL picture smaller than the Avalon picture is great for emphasizing your point, but it's not quite relevant to the final product. As long as the temp is lower than Avalon's, I'm all set



Even my BFL Single doesn't get to 50C on the heatsink. Who knows what the actual chip temps are.

Making the BFL picture smaller than the Avalon picture is great for emphasizing your point ...

Come on, Crazyates, you can't be that retarded! You do realize that BFLs heatsink looks smaller in the picture because it is substantially smaller than Avalons?

- Avalons come in a casing the size of a PC (Midi-Tower) -> room for huge heatsinks
- BFL Single SCs come in a casing with size 10cm x 10cm (approx) -> only room for a tiny heatsink

The little box on the lower right is a BFL Single SC:




... and here is an Avalon miner:

I have to say I don't think BFL is a scam but there tactics are definitely scam-like.However,after reading this I do think there products will hit the market and likely the difficulty as well.

That thermal design is laughable and has 120w+ in fans alone.  I'm really wondering who thought it was a great idea to just stack a bunch of their Singles on top of each other and then put a wall of fans on either side.  From that picture the airflow looks abysmal.

Meanwhile avalon dissipates ~500w with 20w of 120mm fans.
