Is it me or do these things become insanely hot? :-) (over what's pleasant to pull & put into an other USB port)
I think I'm going to put an additional bigger heatsink on these...

It's not about size, it's about surface.

This little HS doesn't look like much, but it increases the surface by x9!

ASIC 6x6=36mm²

HS 8x8=64mm²x5(one for each blade)=320mm²

320/36=8,8 plus borders on blades and base = ~ x9

Why friedcat made the new heatsink without surface in mind is completely beyond me, specially since the original was!

Is that a custom heatsink? I don't think I've ever seen such a small one!

"snipped"
IMO- the finned heatsinks actually increased the miner next to it (When in the Hub).
Hub spacing is tight.
Dig the little addition!

What's the model Hub you're using?

Yeah, they do indeed get extremely hot to the touch. I would recommend having fans blowing on them.

sorry for bad bad English.

Grammar is not a problem, there are many non-native speakers here, so that's fine.
But using abbreviations and slang terms (like "u" or "wassup") makes it really difficult to understand.

ah sho' know whatchu mean. da cracker ass english language iz fine-ass difficult ta master at times wif all it's subtle nuances an' grammar rules with muh beeotch

Say that with a Scottish accent... Sean Connery in particular.

he wazzup? listen i just saw that this is true(i thought was fake but... seems not) so
can u send some or one so i can review here in Brazil? PM if interested.

JFYI i love the idea of easy mining without GPUs and without those boxes as BTF does, even that they say make at least 5Gh/s.
i don't think is true but that not the case here.
But i do have one question...
my ASUS P8Z68-v pro/gen3 has tons USB 3.0 with turbo boost and some stuff that makes way higher that usual, will that make it more fast to mine? or i could use 1.1/2.0 usbs that will work as well equal?

sorry for bad bad English.

i wish u could PM me at least so we can talk
