Just wanted to share a project I have been working on.  The stand is designed and printed by me.  For air flow I have the radiator fan blowing down onto the miners and a fan on the back blowing across the miners.  Everything is powered by a 700w server power supply from Parallel Miners.  I am using the Alphacool MCX ram water blocks to cool the ASIC chips.  The water block clamp was designed and printed by me.  I am using a Raspberry Pi4 with 8gig Ram running 64bit Ubuntu Mate.  I have ordered another one of sidehack's USB hubs and plan to add either my 6 2Pacs or some more Newpac's if I can get them.  I am able to run the fans at a low RPM so the rig is very quite.

The hottest temp I can find on the back of 3 CompacF's is between 35c & 39c.
The hottest temp I can find on the back of the 6 Newpac's is between 39c & 43c.
None of the miner boards are hot to the touch.

...

I sure hope sidehack does another batch of the CompacF's.  I would love to get some more of them. 

Thank you sidehack for the work that you do.

Wow.  This is awesome!  The amount of work that you put into this is admirable.  With some sexy lighting that would be an amazing functional display piece.  How are the noise levels with that radiator fan?  Is it basically quiet?  What amounts are you generating with that?

I must say, you don't see people doing cool things like this with waterblocks very often.  Maybe you could get working on a submersible version next to really push those things to the limit.  Smiley  Thanks for sharing this.  Great work.
