Aluminum heatsinks are cheaper than you think. Probably about $5 worth of metal.
Find me those heatsinks for $5 with a MOQ of 2.
Why? Bitmain buys heatsinks by the thousands.
The main impact of the heatsinks on costs is not the manufacturing part but shipping costs.
Could be. But with with shipping at ~$6/kg they can't cost more than ~$20 to produce and ship.
