Some dude on Twitter opened up his Z3 and posted photos of dust found inside

Hard to tell how long it might of been used for since in different areas there are different amounts of dust/dirt.

I'm sorry, but I have a HARD time believing that is a Z9 mini.

Have a CLOSE look at the Z9 mini in this post: https://twitter.com/paulc20114/status/1003762793131249665

Here is a screen shot to the photo in that link: https://i.imgur.com/GdewyLP.png

I'm with you on this one. Also, just some basics for this type of stuff--if it was a legit pic, why not link to the source? Why wouldn't the person be open about it? Why would they not have contacted the company with a complaint, and if so made that public too? For whatever complaints people may have about Bitmain, their support staff are, at the very least, pretty fucking fast to respond to messages, we'd have more information even if it was negative...

I went to the twitter account he said the photo came from. It's nowhere to be found in a post on that other twitter account.

By the way, that's the same guy we got to delete that video.

Also, if one has a close look at the heat sinks in the dusty photo compared to the confirmed photo of an actual Z9 mini I provided, it's quite obvious to me if you look at the TALL heat sinks on the actual Z9 mini compared to the photo of the dusty ASIC in its photo it's NOT a dusty Z9 mini. Note how the Z9 mini heat sinks on the back of the boards are ALL LEVEL. The heat sinks on the back of each board for the dusty photo has SHORTER metal spikes on the outside edges and all the rest of the metal spikes on the interior of each heat sink are level.
