Review on Motherboard Cooling Cryptocurrency Bitcoin Ethereum by Vashod Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid miner with some considerations. Excellent customer care.

First a recommendation: Do not attempt to run a 2000W miner on a standard (15/20A) 120V mains. I know it's simple math, but I've read about it. These miners really need a dedicated 220/240v circuit in my opinion. I like the eight fan setup; This definitely creates better airflow through the case. This creates a problem: the I/O ports are moved further into the case; access is a bit difficult. The same goes for using VGA and HDMI. These two problems cost them their "stars". I had to contact the seller with a question about connecting the power supply to the MB. I received an answer very quickly. The PSU cables have been staggered to compensate for the distance from the PSU to the GPU. Nice gesture. Recommended. PS: I briefly ran a similar miner by plugging a 240V RV "splitter" into the dehumidifier's outlet and then powering a 220/240V multi-socket power distributor. However, I would not recommend using both (dryer/miner) at the same time.
