I was wondering, as I ordered a BFL jalapeno a few months ago, is there a freezer that has electrical outlets inside so I can run my Jalapeno at sub freezing temperatures? I'm asking this because I heard that people that kept their Jally inside the freezer for 15 minutes and turned it on had an increase in hashing rates by about .75 Gh/s for 10 mimutes and any extra bit of hashing power helps.

Does this method take around 2 weeks?   What about liquid nitrogen cooling what is its results then!

On serious note I honestly hope you are joking  which by account I'm guessing so.  Thanks for a good laugh reading it and reading about running in a freezer Smiley

Yeah, you should totally put electronics into a moist environment. Nothing bad could possibly happen.

They have coolers on GPU's and even water cooling - so why not run it in a fridge after all it seems logical - just not very practical Smiley

Even if you solved the moisture problem most refrigerators aren't designed to overcome the generation of heat. Here's a fairly detailed response:

Unless you can bring the temperature down below 0 without water vapor forming, it isn't a good idea. Submerging your device in mineral oil would work, however.

- You'll eventually kill your fridge/freezers compressor because they are not designed for continous operation: which it will be if you put a heat emitting source inside of it
- You'll probably damage/kill the mining hardware because of condensation, it is NON-TRIVIAL to make it resistant to moisture or to remove the moisture sufficiently. (It can be done, for sure, but it's not worth your money or your time or the frustration if you fail)
- My understanding is that the clock speed of the ASIC chip in BFL hardware does NOT vary with temperature, so whoever told you that is probably lying. Similarly a GPU cooled by air running at 90 deg C runs no more MH/s than a GPU running chilled water at -20 deg C. (If you don't know what waterchilling is, it is sub-ambient watercooling, refer to a forum like XtremeSystems)

BFL will include adequate cooling. Your biggest problem with it, assuming they've done OK, is that you'll eventually have to clean dust out of it.
