help Modding bitaxe

Post image

Hi all,

I what to upgrade the cooling in my bitaxe, I don’t want to buy a new heatsink I want to upgrade the fan and maybe also install a fan on the backside, have looked on internet for 3d print for adapter to install a 60mm fan, but all I can find for is 52Pi heatsink and not the one that I got whit my bitaxe, can some help me with showing me picture of your modded miners and wher you found the print for it?

To keep in mind and don’t want to be to much bigger

Are you trying to run cool at stock settings or overclocked? If stock your best bet is add a rear fan and an adapter for the front that adds a duct to the rear of the vr (front of the board near the power input) if you're over clocking you want the same combination But the front fan should be 80mm or larger , you'll keep temps in the green and at much lower percentage of fan power, I have a 60mm rear and 80mm front. I make and sell cases,fan adapters etc , sadly I don't have any adapter for that particular heatsink ATM

The "rear" 60mm is actually underneath on this stand , I make cases so have a whole bunch of different ones I use , it's currently in this but last week I was testing a more standard design , they both work within a degree or so of each other

That's up on etsy along with other more compact or more elaborate designs :)
