Two of my six Antminers. I've made custom covers for all of them, which helps force a lot more air over the heat sinks and chips.
My brother actually suggested that i should do the same about a week ago.
He said it will work out much better to reduce heat that way.
So, how is it going?
EDIT: Doesn't the hot air coming out from one Ant affect the heat of the other?
I mean because you have them facing the opposite direction.
I usually have them facing the same direction, I just turned one around to take the picture.
I have a IR temp gun and found that without the cover, the chips closest to the fans get up to about 103^F and the chips furthest away get up to 135^F. With the covers on, the chips all seem to settle around 118-122^F. Without the cover the heatsink end gets up to 120-123^F, but the cover brings the heatsink down to 115-118^F.
If people are interested in covers, I am considering making them for sale. I think they would sell for around BTC .018 - .020 depending on exchange. Powder coated .025" aluminum, would include a bottom plate, back cover with cable pass-thru and top cover.
