Looks like a positive bump this time ... interesting to see how diff is jumping up&down since Dec 2014 ...

I'll go poke around a bit, but maybe somebody here knows: How many A3222's are on each board of the existing Avalon 4.1 miner? That miner as I recall has 2 boards, of N chips each, right? Any body know what N is?

well I saw the photos of metal shavings in the psu. I left that alone only because the 15 s-1's and 20 s-3's I got  had 1 bad cap.  most likely it was knocked off when it was packed the s-1's had very tight  static bags which I think knocked off a few caps.

Either when packing the s-1's or pulling the s-1's out.

So for quality control on s-1's or s-3's 34/35 worked out of the box.   and of the working 34 every worked and when I sold them every buyer said they got working gear.


But back to 18 gauge wire.  I ran 23 gpus in 10 pc's from sept 2012 to june 2013.  all in my garage pulled 5kwatts or more pretty steady.  long term running 24/7/365 is hard on gear.  wires get soft. shit burns fans fail etc.

my garage is 22 by 24 about 500 square foot concrete slab 5 inches thick.  the entire slab got warm around 40 day into non stop mining  say oct 30 2012.  stayed warm the whole winter and when I sold off all the gear and switched to ASIC MINER usb sticks in June of 2013 the slab still felt warm for about a month.

Point is 18  gauge wire is "stupid cheap" or the polite way "penny wise pound foolish"

I would love to see some first adapters give a good long review on these .  attach it to the sp20 and see at what point the wires melt my guess is 1400gh would take a while to be an issue  but 1500gh to 1600gh and problems will happen.
