I thought maybe people would like to see my Franken K...

80mm fan just connected to molex for now. See I caught the red led showing data xfer. The red GND lead off back is for scope probes (why isn't it black? just me being retarded.)

Heat sink not attched to fan, just sitting on top as I disconnect often to take it to the solder station.




Right now just on one side, U5,6,7,8 at 300MHz. I have to relocate my NOR gate hack board before I can put chips on the other bank. U8 seems to run a bit hotter than the others at 52C. Others <50C. With steamboats black heat sink and a fan the heat sink runs 37C (on that corner, barely warm to touch) in 32 ambient.

Great Job!!!!  

BTW,  "32 ambient" !!!!!   LOL time for some AC.
Tell me about it. I have one planned but like the ceiling and floor it's on the waiting list. I'm sweating here most days but today was quite cool at 32C. We have 40C days here in March.

Dear BkkCoins,

Can you please elaborate a little about the changes that you made to the circuit, to make it work? I know about the missing power to the PIC, and the little jumper cable that you soldered to power it. What is that small red PCB doing? I also got a sample board made around the time you did. I also got 2 sample chips that I have mounted. But for some reason the board is not hashing.
