Hello Vorta!

I was wondering... how much degrees Celcius did you lose for each step when:

1. Repasted the miner with a much better thermal paste?  (and what paste did you use?)

2. Added mini heatsinks on the external side of the hashboards with adhesive termal paste?

3.  Closed the miner's heatsink with 3D printed plates so no air can run out on the top or bottom sides?

4.  Added fan ducts between fans and miners which direct most of the air through the main heatsink and blow just a little bit of air to external heatsinks, just to drive some airflow on the sides?

And finally, is there any way else that I can see your pictures that you posted?  For every picture doesn't show the picture and says :

Thanks very much!  I was going to do the first two steps but am trying to find data showing if it is worth it or not.  Was gonna replace the front fan with a Enermax Twister Storm 120mm  UCTS12A :  (3 links to fan)   Or maybe two of them stacked with a pull fan on the otherside or maybe two stacked there as well.
