Description
Why this Bitaxe Heatsink Upgrade is Superior
| Attribute | The Dark Horse Advantage |
|---|---|
| Pin-fin density | 137 black anodized pins multiply surface area for lightning-fast heat shedding |
| Mounting system | Four nylon tension pins deliver tool-free, vibration-free installation in minutes |
| Universal fit | Perfect alignment with every single-chip Bitaxe model, no shims or brackets required |
| Noise reduction | Efficient airflow means your fan stays at lower RPM for noticeably quieter mining |
| Overclock headroom | Cooler ASIC and VR temps translate into higher frequency stability and better hashrate |

General Benchmark Notes
- Device under test: Bitaxe Gamma.
- Automatic fan control on.
- Noise in DB taken in a quiet home.
- Noise in DB taken 12″ away from device.
- 80% rule with 30W standard power supply = 24 continuous Watts.
- MOSFET heatsinks added to device at 850/1250.
Cranking the clock from 525 MHz to 900 MHz boosts hashrate from 1.07 TH/s to 1.84 TH/s, or an increase of 72%, while power draw climbs to 35.2 W. The efficiency is solid, but smart electrical practice remains the same: keep your continuous load at ≤ 80 percent of the power supply’s nameplate rating.
