Phil,  great work and vids but you can really make use of the north east cool weather by pointing the intakes to an open window with a small fan (computer case fan) between the intake and the screen of the window for each miner.  The fans will bring in cool air and really run these at low temps.  The miner fans will run 50% or lower (I keep the fans to 50% min just in case)

Soon I will flip the miners around and just blow the hot air out the windows and use your voltage underclocks if need be

Would be great to heat the pool with these



I know lots of ways to cool off the miner when temps are cool.

But if I am to service and help it with breakdowns I need  to push test it.

I got the garage up to 94f using the

--avalon8-voltage-level -1  in the more options slot.

watts were 1406
hash was   12800   this means miner would be okay in my solar array even on a 97f temp summer day.



I am now testing  one setting lower in the same 94f garage note 94f is 8f higher then recommended


--avalon8-voltage-level -2


a few minutes in  

watts  1322
hash   12413

this is 0.1065  watts a gh in 94f  and 86f is max suggested.

It will me warm in NJ  78 tomorrow .  I hope to see  if I can get the room to 96f

the above links show the lower setting which  is keeping watts at 1322 hash at 12413 in a 94 f room.

SOME TIME tomorrow I will get it over 96f and it will run under 1350 watts I hope.
which is pretty good.

people should thank megaquake for finding the path to try tests on if not for him I would have stayed on a path that did not help out.
