Over the past month, I've acquired 2 #nerdQaxe++ Rev 6 from nostr:nprofile1qqstrcgctzz2d52thl8r3xwt205pswkauep0yexsla83w3fhrcrpxnqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5xp62jx and a Rev 5 from PlebSource.

All 3 have been running great, but there is a noticeable difference in both ASIC temp and VR temp between the Rev 6 and Rev 5 models.

ASIC temp of ~51.0 vs ~55.0

VR temp of ~42.0 vs ~ 51.0

At the default settings

(ASIC frequency = 600MHz)

(ASIC voltage = 1.15 V)

Based on this I decided to add some extra cooling to the Rev 5 to bring down the temps a bit with an 80mm Noctua fan and some aluminum heat sinks.

Next step is to upgrade the fan/heat sink to something a little bigger.

I've got these around that I think might fit.
