Re: [ANN] Bitfury is looking for alpha-testers of first chips! FREE MONEY HERE!
Designed to have a heatsink mounted to the back with airflow; I expect this sucker to require some cooling!
If you want to overclock them and expect to much heat, please feel welcome to contact us (anfi-tec) for some watercoolers.Furthermore for a better packing density.
That might be a good option... I'd need a waterblock that's about 100x30mm.
- what do you think will the 12 chips produce in heat/Power consumption in idle?
- and the same with overclocking?
- how many of these miniboards you plan to put on a backplane/rack?
- what distance is planned for the pci-slots (with watercooling you can pack them much closer together than with aircooling)
- are you planing to sell these miniboards?
- cooling from the backside of the board like the avalonchips?
12 chips at full rate will produce around 30W. The 40A regulator probably another 5W.
The bottom of the module has the soldermask masked back to show bare plated copper for good heat transfer. Yes, cooling from the backside of the board.
Heatsink dimension should be 100x35mm. I'll get you the mounting hole pattern this evening; they're 2mm mounting holes.
For the backplanes I'm designing now (for aircooling), the slots are 36mm apart. Here's a render of a 480GH miner on a 16 way backplane:
