Minteresting. I wonder how many chips are under that heat sink. Title: Re: Ars Technica has a BFL miner Post by: yxt on May 09, 2013, 05:29:12 PM I really think they have a big cash flow problem!
Instead of sending to their first customers, they send the devices to media --> more preorders. I would not be surprised if the system collapses soon Title: Re: Ars Technica has a BFL miner Post by: PeZ on May 09, 2013, 05:31:47 PM 50 watts, 80C. 6 month MTTF? Fan at "Hair Dryer" levels?Title: Re: Ars Technica has a BFL miner Post by: Tamerz on May 09, 2013, 05:33:27 PM 50 watts, 80C. Minteresting. I wonder how many chips are under that heat sink. Yeah, 80C with the fan at "hair-dryer" levels worries me. If this 5 GH/sec box is hair dryer loud, I am not going to be very thrilled with the noise of the 60 GH/sec and 30 GH/sec boxes I ordered for my one bedroom condo. :( Title: Re: Ars Technica has a BFL miner Post by: JohnnyBrown on May 09, 2013, 05:36:31 PM Perfect. Noisy, running hot, and a larger power draw than posted. Could make a nice heater.

I wonder how many chips are under that heat sink. 1 in words: One That's 10x the initially advertised power efficiency and 0.83x the initially advertised total hash rate. So instead of 1watt per Ghash it draws 10watts per Ghash ? ??? exactly that Title: Re: Ars Technica has a BFL miner Post by: JohnnyBrown on May 09, 2013, 05:41:53 PM So instead of 1watt per Ghash it draws 10watts per Ghash ? ??? Maybe the fan draws a few watts? Title: Re: Ars Technica has a BFL miner Post by: ElectricMucus on May 09, 2013, 05:42:49 PM So instead of 1watt per Ghash it draws 10watts per Ghash ? ??? Maybe the fan draws a few watts? Fans are in the order of 1-3 watts Title: Re: Ars Technica has a BFL miner Post by: JohnnyBrown on May 09, 2013, 05:45:06 PM So instead of 1watt per Ghash it draws 10watts per Ghash ? ???
