Alright I can live with that, no bad blood. I will make the change Wink .

In my experience most people like to read the original manual first, I couldn't think of anything I could've added to what information is already given in there.
I didn't got confronted with problems doing the configuration. But I am always open for advise & tips on what people like to see or have questions about.

@NotFuzzyWarm : I can understand why you think that but I am more of the reading type.
I use Bitcointalk for years now and most of the the time, I found what I needed without the need to post other questions.
With this review I thought to do something back for the forum that helped me many times when I had some complications with GPU mining or needed Info on a new coin.
If you checked the link on top of my post you could see in the pictures that I did not cherrypick results or formed a biased opinion about the results.
I tell my experiences nothing more nothing less. I contacted them early on in december on their twitter account because that channel of communication looked the most active.

I refuse to lie about my experience because other people have had some problems.  If it would be PR it would look different and would be more cherrypicked results.

@HagssFIN: The review includes a section "Links" their you can find a Pdf-manual and a Instruction movie. I don't think any extra info is needed as guide to get this miner configured.
I sincerely apologies for using your Tittle formatting but I thought it was board policy to make things easy to navigate.  I am prepared to change it if you are offended by it.
Personally I Think it is a good format and it would make a improvement for the board.

Thanks for the welcome  Shocked
3  Bitcoin / Hardware / (Review) Halong Mining DragonMint T1 16 TH/s, 1600 Watt (SHA-256) ASIC Miner on: April 24, 2018, 10:05:30 PM
(Review with clear pictures can be found @ https://cryptoneutronium.wordpress.com)

First a small intro about me:

I live in Europe and had some previous experiences in Bitcoin mining. I mined In the earlier days of
Bitcoin in the year 2014 and really enjoyed the experience. I am a true believer of Bitcoin, crypto  and blockchain technolgy. So in the last years I stayed informed and started mining again with GPU’s.
I was looking around for ASIC-miners (SHA-256) but outside of Bitmain there was not really anything new. Until I found the website of Halong mining with their Dragonmint T1 (16  Th/s).
After searching  the web I didn’t find much info because they just started their company. So I decided to try and contact them to get some decent info and get in on that ASIC-miner.
I got in contact with the people of Halong and they answered all the questions I had at that moment.  I can only speak from my experiences but communication was a true pleasure, fast and friendly.
A few months later, I received a shipping notification from DHL  and only 5 days later it was delivered on my doorstep. At this moment I have the Dragonmint T1 running for 10 days.

Review Halong Mining Dragonmint T1 16 TH/s:

I run the Dragonmint T1 with a Myrig power supply 1600Watt, also delivered by Halong Mining.
In the past 10 days I ran every firmware update available for the T1 and my findings are based on the t1_20180418_054846.swu firmware. Currently I am running the newer  t1_20180421_081246.swu firmware.
If there are big differences in performance I will post these on a later date.
The build quality of this miner is good to excellent and is very easy to connect and configure. The GUI (Graphical Users Interface) is self explaining with a good overview of total hashrate and hashrate by board.
This information is also displayed on a graph. The temps of the hashboards are visible in the GUI but they are not displayed on a graph, I would like to see this in later firmware versions.
The miner was configured to mine to Slushpool because this pool supports ASIC-boost and was advised by the people of Halong Mining.
The T1 has 3 performance options: Efficiency , Balanced and Performance.

Results & my experience with the Dragonmint T1

https://i.imgur.com/L2ozJBf.jpg
 
I ran the Dragonmint T1 on each of the 3 performance modes  for a decent time.
I need to be honest and tell that when I put it on performance It delivered better Hashrates but it was less efficient  in power use and the fan was always on 100%.
Also I personally don’t like the PSU pulling 1760 Watt from the wall, considering this PSU is rated 1600 Watt I didn’t kept it on performance mode.
If I had a 2000Watt PSU I probally would. (Running a PSU almost at max capacity will make it less efficient )
I prefer Balanced mode and think it is the best option, Efficiency mode does what is says and keeps the fan below 55%.

If there are any questions I will try to answer them. This is my experience with the miner and with the people of Halong Mining. I am happy with the results and with the way things went.

Thanks to the people of Halong mining for bringing new hardware0.
Also I need to mention special thanks to Scott Offord! He is the first person I got in contact with, and he is very trustworthy and willing to help in anyway possible.
