Title: Thunder x6 or Gridseed G-Black?
Post by: Throestyle1 on October 06, 2014, 10:59:32 PM
I am torn between a Zeus Thunder x6 or a Gridseed G-Black. I would have to replace the Thunders fan's as I can only mine in thy living room at the moment. I cannot find a G-Black review anywhere, but I was hoping if a fellow miner can vouch for the noise in comparison to the Thunder?

I have a Zeus Thunder X6 and it runs great. a lot of miners claim plug and play but with this one i truly had no issues plugging it in and getting it to run properly the first time.

Thanks! Has anyone replaced the fans on either of these, as it would be my first time modding a miner?

I run 2 g-blacks right now and they are loud, but are mining beasts. Good power consumption as well.

what software are they running on the controller?  Is it a RPi?

I bought them cheap without the Rpi in them. Simply plugged a USB cable into the hub inside each one and run them off of a windows box.

This is them with 2 blades as well:

Sometimes spikes over 72.
