Better Heatsink for your USB Block Erupters

[HTML5 Gordon]

There's actually two:



Edit: Always two there are, a master and an apprentice.

 . Lmao I love it!

Thats why Id love to own a thermal camera.
Duuuude, post your values!

[vm1990]

holds head in shame at some attempts at cooling....... what you need liquid cooling if i had the money to buy them id liquid cool a row of 10 of them just for the hell of it XD

i also accept donations to make 10 USB Block Erupters water cooled all i need are the actual block erupters got the rest of the cooling stuff XD

finally a fun thread on here - I just moved my USB/rig to the coldest room in my home but loving the 'solutions' here!

Those sinks will not fit in 10+ hubs, like Anker.  Just blow air at it, they are cool to touch.

Yes. Original heatsink plus usb fan is enough.

Greetings.

I have 2 CPU fans blowing directly my 2 USB Gizmos and now they don't go higher than 40ºC. But with a ARCTIC Breeze Mobile (or another equivalent), it will stay fixed to the same HUB you are using for the USB Gizmos.

I already bought this kit @ eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121059845105?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The kit contains:

• 1 x SoC Heatsink with pre-applied tape (14x14x10mm)
• 1 x LAN Heatsink (8x8x6mm)
• 1 x Voltage Regulator Heatsink (8x6x5mm)
• 1 x Thermal Tape
• 1 x Installation Guide

As the BE100 ASIC ship is the one who has more thermal emission and measures 6x6mm, the best heatsink of the kit is the Voltage Regulator Heatsink (8x6x5mm). But as the 8x8x5mm LAN heatsink also fits in the space, I'll use it for the ASIC of my second USB Gizmo.

I will glue those heatsinks directly on the ASIC's with the included thermal tape.

Best regards.

Added something to stand on:

Three RAM heatsinks with adhesive tape on the existing heatsink, and one MOS heatsink with adhesive tape on the BE100 chip. Can easily be removed, and are sourced for next to nothing on ebay. Seems to work (they get really hot). I place them in the USB ports of my computers where the exit airflow from the case helps a bit.

So funny story, I've been doing that for about the last 10 months or so with my FPGA Single. Slapped a big old solid copper heatsink on it from an old computer I had lying around that died years ago. This is it without the top fan (I took it off to clean it, as you can see.   ) This let me bumped it up from barely 816 to the 880 firmware, with lower temps.

Enough cooling, I thought I'd rather train my Blockraptor to use the heat for frying eggs:

what IS that? You seem to have a beautiful mining cluster
