Pretty sure he want a way to have the Avalon software try to access LAN/WAN with wifi in the first place. I dont see an option for wlan, and if i click add new network interface, the two options are lan eth0 and custom.

Might be possible to do with custom, but i don't know how it work.

Slapping a wifi bungle would be simple if it worked out of the box.

It would work just fine if you properly connect the right connectors to the right rails. Its a hassle having to balance the rails, but it will work just fine if you do.

I think the S7 will be okay. 16nm is always in existence and the S7's are just fine. But i'm not sure they will survive the halving too well.

Hmm, its not past its limit, 600W PSU's limit with .9 efficiency would be 660W limit at the wall. You'd have to really overclock it to get that. But if he said 400-600 PSU, it make it sound like it could be 400W for 120v and 600W for 220v.

The EVGA, unlike most PSU out there, are underated for efficiency, at least, their peak limit is much higher than their rated #.
They can actually run their "100% load" no problem. Their components does not degrade easily and as such you'll find yourself possibly not needing to ever RMA it. My EVGA 1000 with 3 years used get the same reading as the brand new one. So running them at 98% load is just fine, it can handle spikes easily from there, it even handle 104% no problem. Though i'm not sure whats the true limit is.

They really can do their rated load, DC, continuously with no problem. The only downside is efficiency loss.

Now i don't know if this numbers hold across all that S7 design, but so far i get 1280W DC with my B8. I run the fans at 3360 RPM.

And yeah, you might need to get an extra cable, or maybe not, the way i set it up is;

3 double, 1 per blade, 1 single 1 per blade. Then a periff for the controller. I did not need to come up with any extra cables myself.
I don't know where i got these PCI-e converter, but i have so many of them. And since these baby are modular, i simply used a 3rd double from another EVGA.

Worse case scenario, if you somehow has absolutely nothing on hand (i have spare of everything, because being ready for anything is my motto). Grab some extra cables and perhaps y splitter while you're at it. Start by checking Finksy and Klondite's stuff.

In this case, you could get 2 4$ y splitter. If you absolutely have nothing on hand for some reason.

Ahhh, they're probably B8 they been mining with for a while. Welp, its not like we can be surprised, we all know how ethically mushy Bitmain is. I don't suppose there is some clause we can use if we receive an obviously used and not pristine unit?

If you have very cheap electricity, sure. It is a good miner, its just showing age in term of efficiency. The price is also a bit steep, you can probably find better. And yes you would need a PSU.

An EVGA gold G2 750 would do two nicely.

Should be fine, try raising the temps, thats easy to do. I'd just be surprised if you'd lose 100GH/s just because of the temps, but i'm interested to see what the hashrate will be afterwards.

Trying running it at 55-60c to see if you see a big difference. That could be it. But you also have a pretty high HW from what you should. What is the PSU? I've seen this kind of performance drop when using a subpar PSU. Can be one the other or a combination.

Not really a point in getting 9, one to learn, even 9 is a tiny amount of hashrate. But its in the low 3 digit GH/s (which is very low). (Better than your single GH digit you'D get with 9 of the first ones you mentioned) These are not cost effective, they're just a toy to give you an idea for mining. Not a ROI item.

And huh, nobody use or like mac so not much dev is made for them. But Linux is free, so..

But nowadays the miners all have controllers designed for them so you dont need to run them off a PC of any sort. A RasPi would run them and be actually useful.

Correct, you are not looking at the right mining hardware. That miner is absurdly obsolete. Unless you're getting them for 20 cents each, drop that idea right away.

Instead buy one of these;

It will by itself, with no need of any additional hardware, completely outclass those 9 USB stick.

Well done in doing your research before binge buying.

No argument there. Multi-rail PSU is a dead giveaway. Its not too bad according to Johnny guru but even the EVGA g2 1300w would of most likely been a much better pick.

...huh nope.

30A*12 = 360w per rail, time 4 equal 1440w for the 4 rails. And the DC draw is under 1300watts for the 3 blades at stock settings. At the wall you will get 1430W~ At 40% fan speed or so.

Why? He can just spread the load on the 30a's. Could slap the controller on a 20a but not obligatory.

You can use 1300W fine, and thats 175USD but yeah its still expensive to power a single S7, especially with the nice kits using J4bberw0ck's breakout boards.

It should be handling up to 1775w at the wall or something. Its a shitty multirail PSU.



So you're going to have to spread to load among the multi rail properly to run it. Then it should run fine.

Should really not be an issue.

Some cables i've had were weird and i had to mess around them with the multimeter before they worked. Not sure whats up with that.

Does the PSU turn on at all? A bit unclear if both do not turn on or if only the miner does not turn on.

That was about 22-25C those temps are pretty high for me, i took the screen on a heat spike winter day, the temps right now are 57, 56, 59, 54 and the intake is 17C.

Overclocked, a single S5 blade should go up to 300W DC, so its definitively okay for one blade. I suppose if you overvolt the 12v input, you could go higher, but, knowing this, it should not be too hard. And at stock settings, if the PSU is actually 600w, which probably means when its on 240v, then it can do the whole S5 no problem, with probably a decent overclock, too.
