Unfortunatly you didn’t win the 1000 coin drawing.
And on this positive note I think we can finish this discussion.
Let’s all direct our energies at the next stage of this journey and put our efforts into driving adoption and value of the Feather.
A sincere thank you to all who took part in this contest, and to John and Clearcrystal15 and all others who worked on it, and if you feel you would like to create your own contest in the future, we’d really like to hear from you.

Unfortunatly not. You did participate in the “Humor” category however, so good luck there!
The easiest ways I’ve found to reduce heat are a box fan and open air. One can also replace the thermal paste on a GPU if it’s gotten old or was badly applied in the first place. However, the thing that tends to help the most is lowering the voltage. If you can do this with your card (either unlocked by default or flashed with an unlocked BIOS), it’s your best chance for lowering your heat output. It does take some careful balancing to ensure stability (hashrate vs heat and all that), but it lowered my temps by 10C and my electricity usage by 130W.
The tickets are counted and this is the preliminary result. These results have been collected with great care, however may contain mistakes. Not everyone has read the contest rules thoroughly so please check this before you contact us. In the case of a mistake inform me, ChekaZ or J4c0b5L4tt3r through PM or leave a message in the topic.
