Title: Is it possible to upgrade Spondoolies SP31/5 Post by: mandar_sn on June 23, 2016, 10:49:42 PM Does anyone have an idea if Spondoolies SP31/35 boards can be upgraded with the new 16nm chips being released this year?
Its just a technical question if its can be possible.. I take removing the chips from current boards will be hell of job. Title: Re: Is it possible to upgrade Spondoolies SP31/5 Post by: Unacceptable on June 23, 2016, 11:38:51 PM Uh,they no longer exist ::)

Practically speaking nobody is going to bother making boards with 16nm chips for these miners. However, I've wondered about repackaging a couple of S9 miners into an SP3x shell using the dual power supplies. It would make a really nice 25 TH/s package.

I prefer them to look like servers and I tape up the Spondoolies logo. Also the rats nest of 12V cables always attract attention from the fire safety people. Edit: actually the most important thing for me is that the SP form factor is compatible with high-density racks because when installed properly with blocking panels the cold air does not leak around the sides of the miners but goes straight through them and sucked up into ceiling. |
