I had an old burnt up bfl jalapeno, so I took the heat sink fan combo and mounted it onto a GS stick.
Holy cow, that looks awesome! How warm to the touch does that massive sink get when you crank up the stick?
Not warm at all. The fan is 12v but I connected it to a usb plug 5v and it moves some good air and is also pretty much silent. The back heat sink is a little warm, I have a temp gun and will post stats when i get home from work.
{"hashrate1m": "27.6G", "hashrate5m": "26.5G", "hashrate1hr": "24.5G", "hashrate1d": "12.6G", "hashrate7d": "2.55G", "workers": 1, "bestshare": 17383283.667868529}
edit: mikestang look at the last picture, i have the old GS heatsink between the usb hub and the bfl heatsink. All the weight of the heatsink is resting on that. Plus the hub has a shroud around the jack, it really didnt sag without the green heatsink but i put it there for piece of mind.... kinda how you were thinking.
The numbers alone on the compac are pretty amazing on OC each time I am amazed wen someone goes up in 20+. I mean 24G is insane for one stick miner. I would love to see a comparison of how many of some of the old sticks to get to this.
That is like 72 or so block erupters packed into one usb stick. Looking that it's just insane what these sticks are capable of doing. I truly enjoy playing with them fun toys to say the least.
