My biggest concern would really come down to how the Warranty would be affected by running these miners above the stated 30C.

If the numbers at 30C as printed are only for the benefit of showcasing the optimal performance temperature ranges, then I would have no problem with the Miner. My electrical costs could support the increased usage at the higher temperature ranges. I only get maybe 1 day a year above 40C.

I understand though the concerns for others with Margins being slimmer and overall temperatures being warmer longer.

Good job with all the testing, very informative.

Well these are a no go in the solar array loft

I run 3 to 4 f lower then outside temps during the summer.

so when it gets to 90 or 91f I would be over the 86f or 30 c recommended.

Even at 82 or 83 f intake air power use is up more then 110 watts then 67f or 19.4c

Of course when fall comes and temps are under 70f all the time this gear would really be efficient.

I suspect if I could run it in a 50f or 10c room which I could do for fall and winter I could get as low as 0.095 watts a gh maybe less.
