Topic: Does KNC Miner need VRM heat sinks? (Read 1056 times)
Mine sure did not benefit from heat sinks. Actually mine runs much better when its a bit warmer. Less error rate and higher hashing speed. Mine seems to like the mind 50s to low 60s anything lower and hashing speed starts to drop. and error rate rises
I don't know where to buy some locally so I'm about to do some digging if you guys say yes they are required
By no means are they required. Could they possibly help? maaaaaybe. So I bought some. In fact, I bought enough for the 32VRM Jupiters. Now I have 2x too many
r u selling the spares?
i might be interested in 16
although the ones on the amazon link are attached with 'adhesive tape' - would not thermal grease be a much better intermediary?
even old pennies with a drop of TG might be better than copper coloured aluminium adhesive taped on sinks...?
I guess just put some old pre '82 pennies on them?
I bought two sets of these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007XBNMZO/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They should be here tomorrow and ill be popping them on and seeing how they work once i get home from work. I also got a few different size smaller ones. that i plan on installing on the bbb chips as well. figure it cant hurt.

I bought like 50 square heatsinks for a full kit bitfury and a few small heat sinks for the vrms (I only have 4) My miner has been stellar though with no problems noted.

I am putting some on just for good luck 
will probably be needed when OC begins for full.
