Ways to clean dust:
(1) Use the air gun to blow the front and rear fans twice gently. Clean up the fans at the back first (the all-in-one power supply should also be cleaned). (2) After cleaning the rear fan, then clean the front fan. Miners and power fans have to be cleaned up.
No, the ASIC chips used in miners are impossible to craft at home, and to my knowledge no competitive chips are for sale as component parts. Development of new ASIC chips has progressed to a level where it costs millions to create a new template and you need state of the art (<16nm) production to produce them.
The most common way to clean flux residues from a repair area is to saturate a cotton or foam swab with isopropyl alcohol or another cleaning solvent, and rub it around the repair area.
Flux can accumulate on the pins of soldered chips. To remove it, dip a brush in alcohol and scrub the PCB gently. Keep scrubbing until the solder flux residue disappears. You should dry the circuit board with a small towel or microfiber cloth.

Ultrasonic cleaning works through high-frequency sound waves transmitted through liquid to scrub clean the surface of immersed parts. The high-frequency sound waves, typically 40 kHz, agitate the liquid solution of water or solvent, and cause the cavitation of solution molecules.
In simple terms, any miner that is built to mine Bitcoin can mine anything that uses the encryption the Bitcoin uses. In other words, any SHA256-based miner like Antminer can mine SHA-based currencies such as Litecoin and Bitcoin.
Ethereum (ETH-USD), Verge (XVG-USD) and dogecoin (DOGE-USD) are the top three most profitable cryptocurrencies to mine, according to a recent report by Traders of Crypto. Note the barriers to entry in crypto mining are low so long as the right equipment is being used to set up a mining machine.
- Ensure Proper Lubrication. When machinery is not properly lubricated, it experiences heavier stress and is more prone to damage, which could cause a loss of productivity or a serious worker hazard. ...
- Keep Equipment Clean. ...
- Address Wear and Tear Immediately.
Such coins have unique mining algorithms and protocols which make it less incentivized for miners to create ASICs to mine the specific coin, hence the term ASIC-resistant. Ethereum is a classic example of a cryptocurrency built to deter ASIC mining.
