Thanks.
So there is no aluminum plate to go underneath? Is what Phoenix said a concern? What is safe to let the board rest on while hashing?
Well one would imagine that being an owner of a Saturn or a Mercury, i.e. the two purchasers these were directed towards you should have space available in your case...
I thought we could fill all 6 modules in a Jupiter?
Not officially...
Then I'll have some for sale if they don't work I guess. Man communication around here is ass.
Are you kidding?! Nobody ever said that 6 boards fit into one case!
It was never stated these were only for Saturn and Mercury here...
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-64I have 2 open slots on my controller board. What else am I supposed to think?
Indeed you are supposed to think and just use your brain and look inside your case. Where the f... should there be enough space to fit 6 boards?
A motherboard doesn't need to be in a computer case to work.
Sounds like you've answered your own question buddy...
The question remains, can I fasten the fan/heatsink to the board?
I would not, you may put too much tension on the PCB and bend it. These aren't like motherboards, which are strong as heck and can take a beating. These are ASIC PCB's which are thin and weak. Didn't any of you ever build your own computers? Must be a young crowd here. I've been building my own computers for the last 20 years, and while some of you may be 20 years old some sound like you have no idea what you are doing. The PCB mounts on mountings retainers or screws so there is proper air flow below the PCB also. Just grab or buy an all aluminum computer case and make your own miner....even a 2u computer case with nothing in it would be a perfect start for a nice custom job. They also make starter screws that tap into the aluminum then on the other side is a female end for screw that would hold down the PCB itself. There are terribly so many options out there. If I had the chance to get my hands on "extra" modules I would be forced to make another case, and it would be a nice little project to have. I'm actually looking for the data cable they use and can't find it online. If someone knows where to buy that stuff, please post a link. I can't remember if I saw a link to that here or not. The cable that goes from the module to the controller board. Flat data cable.
