Totally agree This feels like just another sketchy scheme to me. Gotta stay cautious.

Wait up But if you do the math, 12 x 5 equals 60 Watts, not 100!? What’s up with that?

I think @philipma1957 has some experience with hosted rigs. Maybe they can share some insights. Had a chat with them once about a hosted S21XP here. Wonder what they think now.

No one said it’d be easy.

You could maybe recycle some heat using a Peltier device to generate a bit of voltage. But don’t expect much maybe 2-5% efficiency, which is nothing great for a 3KW setup.

Water isn’t practical for thermal transfer due to its boiling point. Something with a lower boiling point would be better like PFPE fluids that are used for submersion cooling. They’re not conductive and work for moving…

That thermal adhesive you’re using is pretty much useless for good heat transfer. You’ll lose most benefits of those big heatsinks. For gluing, you need a better thermal conductivity glue; that 2W/mK just won’t be…

I’m cool with the price, but the supplier gives me pause. Had a brief chat on OSMU Discord and got some feedback.

Yeah, but shipping to the US can add up. So $54 sounds okay until you factor in shipping costs, then it can get pricey.

I've ordered from NBTC Store on Aliexpress for other models like BM1397 and BM1362. They were decent but don’t have BM1370 listed now. Also tried BOM List but they took ages to ship. They’ve got BM1370PA but it’s pricey.

I've owned 7 BitAxe units, and trust me, 5 of them died because of the lousy heatsink. Changing the thermal paste is a must. You can drop the temps by 8-10°C just by doing that, depending on the heatsink. Those stock…

For sure, a couple of quick tips: - Swap out that stock thermal paste for something better, like Arctic MX6 or MX7. - On BitAxe, you gotta replace that cheap heat sink. Get a proper one or something like the Thermaltake…

Long-term investing matters here. The bull run isn't over, don’t panic sell. Just buy more.
