Now. Before telling this is bs, I've been using DPS-es with cables soldered to mating connector which is tied to PSU with zip ties for years.
My oldest one is 3 years old. Zip ties do work.. Tho they do become fragile if temperature is too hot. And ofc use zip ties to only lock something in place - this something need not to put it's whole weight on the zip ties.

GPUs will prly look like this ; )

Everything can be cleared up/explained quite easily. Will it clear doubts and "smells" thats another question.

Here is reasonable explanation of Kingston memory on the GPUs from the top of my head.

Say nVidia has memory chips shortage. Now Kingston being memory modules manufacturer probably has some backchannels to memory chip manufacturers, right? ; )
So.. organizers of this group buy made a deal with Kingston to provide some memory chips(from Kingston warehouse or whatever) to nVidia to cover the shortage.
So.. organizers being businessman/sales ppl prly don't care about the technical details. But memory comes from Kingston, right?
Hence tthe statement GPUs will use Kingston memory

To sum up.
The statement "1070 Ti with Kingston memory" is basically equivalent to "1070 Ti with Apple memory" or "1070 Ti with Microsoft memory" or "1070 Ti with HP memory".

You see, that's the problem. I mean it's fine for you to not know the difference between memory module and memory chip and their manufacturers.

But for s1 selling 10000 GPUs directly from nVidia.. Like cptfisher said - it smells.
I mean you would expect at least some basic technical expertise, right?

Anyone who is in the GPU business for more than a month knows which memory nVidia and AMD uses.
And what's more suspicious, Kingston is not memory manufacturer. Meaning they buy memory chips and solder them onto PCBs, then sell this product, which is called "memory module".

nVidia and AMD cards have memory chips soldered directly to their GPU cards. New AMD GPUs even have memory on die with the core.

So yeah.. it is all alarming and ofc I don't understand how "sitting down" can really solve anything.
Escrow can, yes. But even then, freezing medium-large amount of money is not really good idea. Because money frozen on the bank account/escrow don't make more money.

I'd like to see GPUs with memory modules. And with full-blown BIOS, since we are in a fairy tale.
Oh, and some external PSU ofc. And maybe socketed GPU core. So we can just change them, when cores become obsolete.

Would be awesome ; )
Easy to expand, change timings etc ; )

If that's the case, I'm changing my order to 1002.

Up for 102. EU.

How about DPS AB? ; )

ty.

Don't have spare 2000W atm, but I do have some 1200W if you need ; )

[WTB] DPS-2000BB breakout board.

I am sick and tired soldering wires to the mating connector..

I'm looking too ; )

I did, it is.

Update ; )

Bought S9 using OgNasty escrow.
calvochen123 / Sabatino Chen arranged shipping same day I think. Sent me tracking number and the site where to track.
And kept me posted on shipping progress regularly.

Was very helpfull regarding my questions.
And seems like a nice guy, judging by our conversations on skype ; )

Thanks!

p.s.
I received the S9 I ordered on 2018-01-03

Another satisfied customer here ; )

Used OgNasty service to escrow 0.244 BTC
All good. Also OgNasty was helpfull answering my questions not concerning escrow directly.

[WTB] Bitmain AntMiner coupon. Will pay with ETH.

I've already tried and could not make it in ~10h.
However, AMD released driver, which supports up to 12 GPU.
17.10.2 actually..

It doesn't wotk for you?

Uploaded to DropBox and updated first post, the link is there.

Bought 1.3789 BTC worth of goods from cptfisher, including 15x risers.
Seller helped with the delivery and all stuff is good.

Goods =

5x470
5x1060
1x970 motherboard
2xEVGA PSU
15x USB risers



Also got some helpfull advices about mining ; )

Not by default. However it's doable.
Core install does have updates disabled, afaik it can only update from local update server.

Most USB risers are.

Anyway, lets stop discussing PSUs here, it's a bit offtopic ; )
