Title: Wanted : High res pics of SP35 board
Post by: Jeremias on September 21, 2015, 08:05:34 PM

I am researching for a series of article on the evolution of bitcoin mining hardware, their socio-economic impact and the creation of a bitcoin ecosystem. Can somebody be kind enough to post high res pics of a complete Spondoolies-tech SP35 board without the fans. I came across Dogie's comprehensive guides, but yet to find a complete board picture for the SP35 and SP30. Dogie's SP20 board pic https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7492/15775706848_0f9848d583_o.jpg (https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7492/15775706848_0f9848d583_o.jpg) can be considered as an ideal point of reference.

You mean without the heat sinks?
( I don't have one - just making sure people understand what you're asking for.  Dogie's guide does have some good quality pictures at angles, but I suppose you're looking for nice flat perpendicular shots. )

You're going to be stuck with me unfortunately, no one else does this sort of photography. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3918/14829302384_4e83f3370c_o.jpg + https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7537/15881941638_812a02eb69_o.jpg for the chip areas might be the closest you'll get.

Here are two rejects (totally unprocessed), one of the larger area around the rear of the chips: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/663/21423292930_e15291bd1b_o.jpg and an overview type thing of an upside down board https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5640/21423518088_a65448e062_o.jpg.

Unfortunately the hashing boards are so heavy even without heatsinks that they don't like being handled and certainly wouldn't stand up for nice pictures out of the case.
