There are electric coolers for gaming laptops and Ive seen some for Mac Minis. Has anyone tried something like this for Sparks?
Some previous threads on this:
Cooling for external USB docks reference here:
What type of temperatures did you see after using that cooler? I was thinking on doing basically the same.
This cooler helps reduce temperatures by 3–5С, so now even during heavy compilation or inference, the temperature does not go above 90.
I was considering buying “another” “Flydigi” laptop cooler and using that with the DGX Spark by cutting the sponge differently. Based on my estimation, it should comfortably seat two DGX Spark side by side. I’m currently using the BS1 with my Dell Precision (with RTX 5000) and might get the BS2 Pro but the online shop told me BS3 coming out “soon”. The coolers has a temperature control app (windows) and I’ve created a python (windows) version.
That’s an incredible amount of dust to be blowing into a electronic device. :-). This magnetic filter (fine mesh) cost less than $2 on Aliexpress (before Tariff) and is EXACTLY the same as the branded ones costing $15-$20 except the magnet isn’t as strong. I bought 10 pieces just because it’s the same price as buying 1 expensive brand one. Do not get the plastic (PVC) types with holes (probably worth 20 to 50 cents each), they look almost the same in photos but the actually make the overheating worst and does nothing for the dust.
