Cooling as a system
Air movement is a facility decision, not merely a fan specification. We map intake, exhaust, filtration, noise, and service pathways.
Mining hardware, read without the hype
Pequet studies the physical layer behind proof-of-work networks: compute boards, thermal paths, power supplies, firmware, and the facilities that connect them.
What a specification can hide
Published efficiency is measured under conditions. Ambient temperature, power conversion, pool software, rejected shares, maintenance intervals, and electricity contracts can change the practical picture.
Use our reading framework to distinguish a laboratory number from an operating observation. This page is educational and does not recommend a purchase.
Comparison lens
| Question | Why it matters | Evidence to seek |
|---|---|---|
| Compute density | Rack planning and service access | Measured dimensions and airflow diagram |
| Power path | Electrical safety and conversion loss | Rated input, PSU model, circuit limits |
| Thermal behavior | Stable operation across seasons | Fan curve and ambient test conditions |
Software and firmware
Version history, update procedures, telemetry, and access controls deserve the same scrutiny as silicon.
