Title: WTS Busted T17 - SOLD
Post by: fyoung55 on February 11, 2021, 06:53:20 PM
I got screwed on ebay.  Shocking I know....

Anyway.  I have a T17 42TH with:

Good PSU
Good Controller
One Good hashboard - rock solid
One Hashboard that shows 3/30 chips sometimes, and 30/30 other times.  But when 30/30 shows it throws a temp sensor error
One Hash board that sometimes shows 30/30 but usually shows 24/30 and the machine just shuts that board down.

I have tried stock firmware, I have tried custom, vinish, hiveon, and braiins.  All with the same results.  One board good, the other two wishy washy but usually non-functioning

Maybe you can do something with it.  Guy on ebay sold it "as is" with 2 good hashboards and one dead one.  Well that doesnt seem to be the case and neither he, nor ebay will help.

Anyway, lesson learned and is there anyone out there who wants a project and what can I get for it?  Hoping to recoup some of my stupidity losses here...

Let me know here or via PM

I have t17's that work, but could possibly use a spare board - what are you expecting to get? and then there is shipping to consider as well.

If you're willing to part it out, I might be interested in everything except the hashboards.

I am open to parting out.  I am open to offers.  I am open to anything.  I'm out a fair chunk of change on a miner that does 15TH for about 500 watts and using up 2 plugs on this thing s a massive waste of space.  You can't touch one of these completely working for under $2800 unless you want 50 of them but this isnt fully working either sooo...


If I am way off say so, but here is what I'm thinking:

All 3 hashboards = $600 (last 2 single working T17 42TH hashboards sold for $680 and $750 each... that's nuts in my mind)
The rest = $500 (a good apw9 and controller are worth this alone right?).

That doesn't get all of my money back, but it helps.

Still open to further splitting up or offers.  Shipping will be figured and may be free if your close enough (I'm in upstate NY)

15 th/s for 500 watts isnt bad though - the hashrate of a S9i for almost 1/3rd hashrate.

Yeah... Miscalculated when I subtracted other miners it's closer to 700w.  But using 2 plugs is a pain.  I have another miner I wanted to replace with this due to efficiency do now I have to choose.
