Day 295 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 863 sats on 10Oct2024! Running total: 200,588 sats!
I had been having issues with my BitAxe lately. According to the mining pool, it kept going offline. It was also making a lot of noise. I replaced the stock fan with a noctua fan of the same size, and now it runs super quiet and has been reporting all good from the pool since. I suspect the fan wasn't working that well and was resulting in the chip overheating. Also, the noctua fan supports PWM which the stock fan didn't, so now I think it should run better regardless.

one of the recommendations is not only replacing the fan, but also replacing the heat exchanger with a taller one, for better efficiency (and more hash).
my Bitaxe still says "DEVICE OVERHEATED" i won't mess with it until something changes.
