Home Miner of the Week:

@ShanonSquires for testing out the S19J Pro+ heat sinks:https://twitter.com/ShanonSquires/status/1651395757512232960

Context comes from @KaboomracksAlex, who noted that Bitmain has reverted back to the S9 style heat sinks: https://twitter.com/KaboomracksAlex/status/1649506385460363267

The S19J Pro+ also has a P14 Server Socket?!: https://twitter.com/KaboomracksNick/status/1621544858535034884

and a standard APW12 power supply instead of the 277v advertised power supply. https://twitter.com/KaboomracksAlex/status/1651003906531659779
