Useless for standard OC
Also if u go over 400 mhz, w or w/o heatsinks u still get a lot of hw error
Topic: Heatsink Kits for Antminer S1, Has anyone used these? - page 3. (Read 7545 times)
Alright... I might get a set of them perhaps, but I'll play the wait and see game until these folks tell me how they are. Someone want to post pics and talk about temps or hashrates would be stellar!
I've ordered a set if these. Will post once they've arrived.
Got any pics on where to apply these 
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

^ have gone through a couple batches of these for the Ant's DC chips

I bought some pink ones for shits and giggles...they are in the mail right now
Thanks for the quality replies, I probably wont bother and just throw a small energy effecient fan pointing at the outside of my chips. I keep my miners in the closet with a circulatory fan in there and the door cracked so I mean, increasing cooling come the summer months has been a concern of mine. (AC Units would trip my already pushed to the limit breakers)
That could be interesting. I should note the heat sinks are cheap enough that if they worked, I'd have expected Bitmain themselves to add them and crank up performance a few more GH/s. Also, looking at my Antminer, the production heatsink is on the opposite side of the chips.
That said, assuming you don't screw up the installation, adding a heatsink should be fairly harmless at worst, and it may help a bit at best. I remember reading a couple of guides which mentioned that pointing a fan at the chips can also reduce reported temps by a couple of degrees, though there's no indication of whether that allows for further overclocking or what. I mean, if it's already overclocked as far as the software will allow, and the temp is acceptable, there's no real benefit to dropping the temp further.

I was thinking of messing around with some of my S1'.... maybe custom casing... maybe overclocking and heatsinks? Not sure... just want to play... but Question: has anyone used these? Do they quiet the miner? Do they actually WORK? Do they increase hashrate? Please discuss.
