Building a Lattepanda crypto mining rig
blammas 2017-10-20 22:27:01 4257 Views3 Replies Hi all,
I have ordered parts to build a small crypto-mining rig project with several Lattepanda's. I know the Lattepanda wont be the most effective board for mining, but the ability to power these boards through USB makes it appealing as a (somewhat) set and forget solution for low difficulty alt coin mining.
I am planning on removing the heat shields and applying ENZOTECH heatsinks to the CPU and storage areas etc, but in addition I want to mount a small fan (not a heat-sync fan / not attached directly to the CPU) underneath the board to direct extra cooling to the CPU.
I was wondering whether the Noctua fan in the link below can be powered directly from the boards sensor connectors? If so, how many could potentially be powered from the board?
