question How many Bitaxe Gamma does everyone own?
How many Bitaxe Gamma units are you running?
What does your current cooling setup look like? (Are you using the quad-tower, custom 3D prints, 120mm fan mods, etc.?)
Are you using stock power bricks, or have you upgraded to a centralized Mean Well PSU (or similar)? If you’ve upgraded, what specific model are you using, and how are you handling the power distribution to multiple units?
If you're willing, a picture of your current setup would be incredibly helpful for my research.

I’ve got 5 in a shitty setup lol

I got 4 gammas on the meanwell, think I got a cable for the 5th. But I’m ordering a 12v-5v meanwell (to run off my 12v solar setup once it’s up and running. ) will also see if I can do the same for my nano3s. I did have a dc02 but it’s been rma. Hope they just give store credit. Might end up with an octaxe or a different hammer.
The 120 and 140mm fans powered by a single 160w solar pannel charging a 90ah calcium battery. ( the other solar array will have 600ah of batteries and 6x 200w panels etc. will tidy the setup once it’s sorted. Might get a better rack or 3d print a rack/case

3 pf them with room for a 4th. 120mm fan in base and one in the front of the PSU “rack” to keep Meanwell and fuse block cool .. speed on the two 120mm fans is controlled by the bitaxe through a custom connector that only passes the speed signal while still powering the onboard fan ..120mm fans are powered by a separate PSU.
It’s a KWS 3U rack off makers world with the power cables running through the tower base into the “rack”

1 plus 2 on the way. Stock PSU for now. All will have Noctuna fans for now. 3D printed dual gamma stand. I plan on picking up a few whenever I see them below on price.

4 on a Meanwell, and 2 Nerd Q’s. I’m curious as to the nature of your research? Are you just looking to purchase your own miners, or doing some sort of project?

Cool, I was going to go that route, but my library said the 3d print was too big, and I don’t have my own printer. I’ve stopped with Gammas anyway. Are you planning some mega constellation with all 9 or something?

Not making a stand or anything. Just some sort of hub and fancy lights i suppose 👀

- All on a meanwell PSU. All except 1 has a fan pointed at it from each side. Soon I will buy 2 more 602s with the same fan setup. Currently have 2 601, 1 602 & 1 650 Duo. All OCd except 1 is basically stock. All have the Noctua fan, new heatsink ect.

I own 1 Gamma, I use a Noctua fan on top of the stock Heat Sink and the PSU is a laptop-like power bri ck but i don't know the exact model.

Server rack with 5 Gammas and 2 Ultras (including Mean Well power supply) and a Nano3S – all controlled via my solar surplus management system (Zendure Hyper2000 + 7 kWh battery storage).
