Thanks!!!

I'll check these out.

No, Wolfen, I have not.  Any recommendations?  Heading to a pumpkin patch with my wife and 4 year old.  I will be away for about 3 hours.

Yes, I thought it was "quite cool" as well, Aries.  I'm impressed with the noise factor as well.  Sounds to me about the same decibels as the S5.  My IBM 2880W PSU's are louder than the S7.

Well said, Questor.

I'm getting tired of people using the word, "Chinese," in such negative connotations.  Can't we all just get along without negative denotations regarding one's ethnicity?  It's completely unnecessary and profits no one.

Bitmain, truly has been supportive of the home miner and those who aspire to have larger farms.  This is not a perfect world and everyone [Including corporations] are not perfect either.  We might find Bitmain more generous in their dealings with us if we would be more supportive in their contribution to our community.  Railing at them in this forum and emails serves only to divide us instead of unifying us as a community.

So, let us chill with the negative connotations towards one's ethnicity and learn to get along with each other.

I did not want to take up space on this thread with multiple screenshots of the "miner status" of all nine S7's.  Here are the results after 24 hours of use.  Look at the "average" [GH/s (avg)] hash rate at 4.8+ TH/s.  Look at the HWE% as well out to the right of HW in their proper columns.  I'm quite impressed.  You can click on the screenshot of each S7 in the link provided to maximize the screenshot then click again to minimize.

I think you will be very well pleased with their performance, aurel.  I certainly am!!!

I will be posting screenshots in about another 2.5 hours to show the performance of all rigs after 24 hours of use.

Yes, BITMAIN, has had its up's and down's.  However, without them, we would not have the opportunity for decentralization in mining we require to keep the blockchain healthy.  I'm thankful for their contribution to the bitcoin community and look forward to supporting them further in the future.

Cheers...

EDIT:  Mine were shipped on the 14th and I received them on the 16th in Alabama.  Ordered on Sept. 3rd.

And you're a lying sack of manure who seeks only to stir up hate and discontent.

Surrrrrrre you don't.   

And you're a lying retard with multiple accounts.

You just "proved" my point.  You're the same guy in the Spondoolies thread with multiple accounts harassing, Dogie.  Why don't you take your childish behavior else where?  Just grow up for once.

Fine, you made your point.  How relevant it is? Very little.

Thanks for the link and your highly regarded opinion !!!

He's referring to "present day."  It seems to me you are one who has been here a long time and created a new account only to harass, dogie.

By the way, all nine (9) S7's are doing great with very low HW errors and all 9 units are at least 4.8 TH/s and above @ 600 MHz.  I refuse to do any over clocking of these rigs, as I want them to last me a LONG time.

I have 8 of them hooked up to IBM 2880W PSU's.  I only had to reboot half of them to reduce the HW errors from 0.1XXX% to 0.00XX%.  I went ahead and hooked up the 9th rig to two (2) Corsair AX860 PLATINUM PSU's.  The hash rate was low and the HW errors were high at initial start up.  Once a reboot was done, the hash rate is 4.837 TH/s and the HW errors are 0.0019% now after 20 hours and 40 minutes of mining.

Over all, I'm VERY pleased with the performance of the S7's.  I will post snapshots of the "Miner Status" for all 9 rigs [After 24 hours of use] to show what those who order in the future can expect in regard to performance.  I cannot hook up to a watt meter, as my meter went "cur plunk" on me about 3 months ago.  However, my "metered" 240 Volt PDU's read 10 Amps for each breaker on the PDU.  I have two (2) S7's hooked up to each IBM 2880W breaker of the 30 Amp PDU's.  The amp meter reads 10 Amps for each 15 Amp breaker.  [The 30 Amp/ 240 Volt PDU's have two (2) 15 Amp breakers built into them.  If we multiply 240 Volts x 10 Amps, we get 2400 watts.  Divided by 2 [S7's] = 1200 watts.

EDIT:  I did have a high pitched wine from one of the S7's after about 7 or 8 hours of mining.  It was hard to make out which one was making this noise.  So, I ended up doing a half to full turn on the screws to all the fans [Front and back] and the noise went away after about 20 to 30 minutes.

Thanks, Prelude.

I want to see the link where they say this...  

EDIT:  It's hard for me to believe this.  I personally think it's a ploy to try to stop people from buying more S7's from BITMAIN and thereby reducing the rise in the network hash rate.

It eludes me who "BW" is.  Do you know?  I'm having a damn brain fart.   

I doubt it very seriously.  BITMAIN, has limited resources (employees).  They already have their hands full with completing testing hash boards and shipping batches 1, 2 and 3.  I'm sure they will get around to compensation once they've caught up.  Patience, my fellow miner.  The compensation email to those requiring compensation will arrive in due time. It may take a couple of weeks but it will be taken care of in due time.

Really,

I had a shipment of 6 x S5's from Bitmain in which I had to pay a brokerage fee of $39.29.  I've had other shipments from Bitmain with no brokerage fee at all.  I think it's kind of a hit or miss thing.

I'm pretty sure UPS will send me a bill in the mail for a "brokerage" fee of maybe $35 to $40 but we may also have to make up the difference in weight.  Only time will tell.  I'm not going to worry about and just wait for the bill to come in the mail from UPS.

It will probably be done have shipping of batch 1 is completed.  They are generating a list of those with late deliveries, how many rigs they had which were late, etc...  That is my "guess" anyway.
