Hey guys... I was curious to know how the heatsinks and fans are performing as far as temperature is concerned at stock and overclock speeds. I performed the CFD/Heat-transfer modeling on these to make sure everything was going to function satisfactorily and was interested to know how accurate my model was... I also feel partly responsible for the end product performance as well.
If I recall, my models predicted between 45-50C, assuming perfect contact with the thermal vias and I think the fan at almost full speed. How close was it?
Based on Ambient temp 20 or 25C?
With Ambient around 23-25 I see 50-54C in overclocked state (350MHz) and 44-45 in same overclocked state with same Ambient temp when thermal goop is applied sparsely (ie correctly).
I have additional table fan blowing across the miners' back side. If I recall this helps to get temps down 3-4C
