in #life9 years ago

I noticed one of my cars was starting to collect some dust and I wanted to do a short video to help remind people to check their cards and clean them.

Trying to help make this as easy as possible so I created an Amazon (US) Store with a list of the products you would need to get started GPU mining or Bitcoin mining.

I have long since grown tired of aircooling, primarily because of the dust. It gets everywhere and to completely clean those heatsinks, you need to remove the fans, meaning you have to switch the whole thing off first. Things are even more difficult when you have to deal with dust inside the PC case because you first need to dismantle half of it, if you are in for some serious cleaning.

That's why I switched to watercooling - dust accumulates only on the front side of radiators and those can be cleaned in 5 seconds with a simple vacuum cleaner. There is no down time and no need to dismantle anything. I've had watercooled machines running for more than TWO YEARS without ANY maintenance, except vacuuming a radiator every two weeks or so.

Hi vortac, I love the idea that you water cooling them it's just so expensive, I need to actually look into it and try it, thank you for the help.
