Bitaxe: How to Replace Thermal Paste

[@nori3749]

Did the latest AxeOS update solve the overheat problem ?

[@VortexBitcoin]

It looks like it was a hardware issue. I returned the units and they upgraded the cooling on them.

[@vinayakavideomixing3536]

what heatsink you are attached on the backside of bitaxe ? tell me the heatsink name

[@VortexBitcoin]

I don't know, sorry. It's what came with the Bitaxe.

[@vinayakavideomixing3536]

@@VortexBitcoin iam recieved heatsink with fan in front side. Nothing is recieved on my bitaxe backside. Temparature is high backside of asic chip. That reason asked for that. I purchased bitaxe Supra 401 a month ago.

Hi. I have the same issue as you. I run the gamma with default settings and get overheated within minutes. Did you solved it somehow?

[@ignacionavarro7308]

ps: i have 525 as frequency and 1150 core voltage

I sent my units to D-Central and they sent it back with upgraded cooling and now it works great. I'll do a short video here soon so you can see how it looks now with fans both front and rear.

How much it cost to build one bitaxe

[@VortexBitcoin]

I suppose it depends on how DIY you wanna get. D-Central sells some DIY kits you can check out, for example: bit.ly/4f7ivwE

[@writebhback]

they have the high temp set too low in the OS firmware. 80 C would be more realistic

you could use only 10% of paste you have now on the chip lol
