What do you guys think of the stock B3+ PSU?

good enough? or buy something else?

Not really sure how important the PSU is in rigs like these.

I ahve a ton of them and the PS seems pretty decent.  I would not hesitate to buy them if I were you all.  240V ONLY POWER SUPPLY be mindful of that.

if you pull the board you could add these 1070's

they are 1 slot!

http://www.anandtech.com/show/11271/galax-and-kfa2-list-geforce-gtx-1070-katana-a-singleslot-geforce-gtx-1070





if they do 440h each  that would be  3500h

or alternate them with 1080ti

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1330809-REG/msi_geforce_gtx_1080_ti.html/?





so  8 cards

1070 + 1080ti + 1070 + 1080ti + 1070 + 1080ti + 1070 + 1080ti

440h +  700h + 440h + 700h   + 440h + 700h   + 440 h + 700h  = 4560h  for zec at 1400 watts

Would it be better for panda to sell just the system without the GPU and we add ourselves?


For us yes  for them no Grin

@Truthchanter I agree with them

Dual mining with a panda is too risky

Running ETH full speed with the MX is also not advisable since these chips were designed for notebooks etc.
At best 28Mhs per card without dual mining seems stable.
ZEC and XMR at full speed looks OK.


Are you sure the B3+ is using MX cards? They look a lot bigger than other MX cards and 2-3x as big as Panda B1 model's cards.

-

You guys who think we shouldn't be dual mining (and some of you dont even want to run on full speed) do you have any information or data to backup the dangers of doing this?

Seems you'd need quite concrete info to forgo dual mining DCR or something else when it's adding ~20-25% more profit.

You can dual mine I just don't because I am out of power and can't afford to turn that on.  I'll get you some watt testing on it later today.  I would do DCRI like 16 I think.  That dont effect ETH and mines DCR.

it would cost less to ship, thats for sure but they would have to greatly increase the cost of their boards to make reasonable profit on them. So you'd see something like $500+ with CPU/heatsink included to be profitable and make it worthwhile.

I'd probably pay $400-500 for a custom board like that but not many would.

Maybe we as a community put together something to show interest?

I tried that.  They will not sell the board when they are selling out of pandas every time.  =*(

nope they ship individually so it was about 105 a unit. 32 boxes because 4 were PS boxes
645  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The Third batch of PandaMiner B3 Plus Pre-sale will be ready Soon! on: April 19, 2017, 08:08:14 PM
to texas it was 100-110  its a bigger box and a little heavy.
646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The Third batch of PandaMiner B3 Plus Pre-sale will be ready Soon! on: April 19, 2017, 12:31:23 PM
Did they sell out or they not go on the market?
647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Panda B3+ Review ! on: April 19, 2017, 12:29:52 PM

 Which will be similar loudness PER FAN to the Antminer S5/S7/S9 fans, same design and RPM level if not the same exact fan model.



Nowhere near that sound.  This is 70db and like a deep sound

i bought 6 570 - 8gb and 6 580 8gb for testing.  I'm pretty sure they will be the exact same as RX4 series but we will soon see!
649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Panda B3+ Review ! on: April 18, 2017, 03:28:00 PM

not sure have not been paying attention since i'm out of power =(
652  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Panda B3+ Review ! on: April 16, 2017, 10:18:12 PM
I am starting to suspect they need more ventilation.  I wish they went with 4 fans on each side.  I think they will have issues in a hot environment like mine in Texas not cooled anyway.  I have major ventilation but that might not be enough.  I will get my velometer on it tomorrow and test against a b1.  For not they seem k and its has been about 85 but my fear is the 95+ days.
653  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What program/App is good for Remote Access to Miners? on: April 16, 2017, 09:15:11 PM
VNC is best.  Teamviewer is second imo because on login and logout you will notice a spike and i have seen it crash boxes.  VNC is the cleanest and simplest out there.
654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The Third batch of PandaMiner B3 Plus Pre-sale will be ready Soon! on: April 12, 2017, 10:29:16 PM
It better be good or i'll be mad!  haha

Yeah man I was smiling as soon as they came in and i threw them up as fast as possible hehe.
655  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Panda B3+ Review ! on: April 12, 2017, 03:48:33 PM
Probably going to use this unit to build an open frame 8 card for giggles.  I'll let you know!

I was batch 2 - the first b3's to ship

I know I got mine and Heliox got his.  not sure on anyone else, I am sure they did but prob a big ass farm.
657  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: BITTAWMS PANDA GROUP BUY - $30 DOLLARS OFF on: April 12, 2017, 11:03:17 AM
Interested.

How does the shipping work? Does the entire batch of 50 get shipped to a single location first?

If I had to guess, yes all go to one location then he is responsible for shipping them out.
658  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Panda B3+ Review ! on: April 12, 2017, 11:01:20 AM
I will take a board out and slam 8 8GB 470's in it and see what happens  Tongue
659  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Panda B3+ Review ! on: April 08, 2017, 10:53:26 AM
yeah they said the first few had it and since I got them first I assume not many were toasted with it.  other than that, I just woke up and its still running so that's a plus hehe

*** UPDATE ***
They sent me a new bios right away and I am testing it to make sure it is more stable.  Then I will post it.
Confirmed it's a little better rom here is the link it is zipped with the rom and instructions direct from panda in them.  There is no virus attached but if you don't trust me then don't download it.  http://zeus.iron-vault.com/bct/pandab3bios.zip
