Zotac coolers are garbage. Most of them aren't ventilated properly so they get insanely hot and the fans run at 100% till failure. Exception to that is the three fan models. Never buy the two fan models.
Don't buy Gigabyte's, the fans are terrible as I've covered a few different times in this thread. Exception may be the new extreme edition with the weird looking fans (they're double ball bearings). I have a couple and haven't had failures yet.
Yes, blowers are best as far as reliability. I've never had one fail. They're just louder.
This mod has been sold to a private donator and will not be resold..
What algo was it? It is curious how SP isn't even mentioning the algos anymore which leads me to believe these mods don't exist.
Kinda doubt the yiimp hash is SPs miner. He's been talking about it for months, someone probably commissioned an actual dev to make one.
