Hi friend

Here is an alternative method for cooling a BC-250: https://x.com/Pt_Kangaroo/status/1844849832810414483

Wraith stealth coolers + 1:2 fan splitter, thermal putty (or paste would work too) and some thick cable ties.

Just use the second law of thermodynamics to the advantage of the BC-250.

One wraith stealth worked fine too, to be honest.

It works fine for dual cpu/gpu mining and triple (cpu/gpu/gpu) mining and it is quiet.

His are packed at more than double the density of those, that's why I said it needs a lot of airflow, like any server rack does. He needs either a bigger case, or to remove half of them to be able to cool with conventional (consumer grade) solutions. Slapping any higher pressure 120mm fans onto each heatsink could work too I guess, if there's enough space between them, that is.
