Advanced Cooling of the Technobit HEX16


In anticipation of some advanced overclocking I have prepared some chip side heatsinks for the Technobit Hexminer 16.  Based on my experience with the ASICMiner Blade V2, I have found that adding additional heatsinks to the chip side of the ASICs can provide more efficiency with less share losses to hardware errors.  These heatsinks are attached with 3M thermal tape.  When these miners are stacked, the fan below this one will provide enough airflow to pull the extra heat off of these sinks.  The miner on the bottom of the stack (or a single) may require supplemental airflow to help cool these off.  Just tap into the fan power port.


I have made them available here if you are interested in more efficient cooling or advanced overclocking

The Technobit HEX16a Bitcoin Miner

Technobit HEX16a I have been tooling around with some other miners and the Technobit HEX16a piqued my interest.  It's a 20 - 24GH ASIC miner based on 55nm Avalon ASIC chips.  Rail voltage and clock speed can be easily controlled through command line to adjust clock speed anywhere from 15GH to 24GH at the touch of a button.  Some power consumption and performance statistics below. ~24W - 15.86GH/s - 1.51W/GH ~56W - 20.30GH/s - 2.76W/GH ~74W - 21.28GH/s - 3.47W/GH ~92W - 22.85GH/s - 4.03W/GH ~108W - 24.15GH/s - 4.47W/GH HOT Power Connector They are stack-able and are powered by a standard ATX power supply hard drive molex connector.  The entire top of the device is dedicated to cooling with a very large heat sink attached and a 92mm fan it seems to be a very well designed product.  Simple and efficient. Setup wasn't too bad.  I have a Xubuntu Linux machine dedicated to mining.  A few commands to set up cgminer and it was up and running.  The latest supp
