Any psu will work, EVGA's are popular
As for the avalon, the ROI on those is even harder to get then that of the S9...

Oh I thought Finsky was reselling your boards, hmm guess not.
Thanks

ARG stop quoting pictures guys!

Yet another massive mining farm to come online.

I am waiting on finsky to get in more stock, will he have these new 4k boards soon as well?
I'm looking to put up a 8k setup, so the newer boards are very interesting

Love your product, always a treat not having to solder my own cables and boards, saves me a lot of time and cursing.
Although I trust my skills, when dealing with these kinds of draws, properly built boards always make me feel better than homemade setups.

As for the heat, counteracting the heat is not the answer, ventilation is key, so having cool air go into the room is fine, but you need to expel air as well, or you're going to double your electricity cost's by running a heater and air conditioner at the same time.

Also I agree, start with the S7, the use the same power, so once they are running and you have it figured out, upgrading to an S9 isn't a big deal.
And initial startup cost's are not to big.

Be sure you have access to dedicated circuits, and preferably 208+Volts, not just 120.

As for the horror stories, I've yet to see a company that hasn't had SOME form of complaints posted, as far as bitmain goes, they are one of the most reliable.

Fun discussions.
As an electrician I know all the sneaky ways to find 220 in a home, lol
And have helped people setup for such things in the past.

Please note, that even the EVGA etc. PSU's that run at 120, WILL all run at 208+ and are actually slightly more efficient, and draw less amps over the wiring so is safer.
I always recommend 208 if it's even remotely possible. Regardless of PSU.

You CAN... wire a standard 20amp 120v plug to output 208, which saves money as you can than use the stock high quality PSU power cable that comes witht he EVGA.

Just note that that isn't code, and if you forget and plug other items into said plug, they may go poof.

Although a surprisingly large amount of stuff can run on both 120 and 208.

Pixel I'm also in Manitoba, feel free to give me a shout if you need anything.

That's what I am gathering.
I like the fact that they stick with the same form factor, but feel they are getting thing's a little tight.
Who knows maybe having it that tight is best for cooling?
Maybe a new gen with a bit less power, less noise, but not as pricey as their latest home miner. Hmm

With the av7 launch, thing's are starting to get interesting

Has anyone had luck making the S9 a bit more silent? under powering them seem to help at all?
And does the antminer software have the ability to change it's hash rate based on time of day? ramp up during day when I'm away, be a bit better when I'm home etc.?

Thanks for another great guide.

Has anyone had luck with knocking the noise level down on these beasts?
I just ordered the latest 14th batch. and will be running it in an apartment with free power, so noise is somewhat a concern.
Additional quitter fans is possible, spreading the boards on in a bigger case maybe with more fans etc.

been searching around, having a heck of a time though.

Thank you

Bah just bit the bullet and ordered the latest.
Have access to free power for 6 months. So may as well go with the highest output model

Really want one shipped to canada. But thats to much. More than the last batch sold fir with higher hash..

Sorry.
I should specify. I have a lot of access.
Im more so looking for a source to get a large number quickly in the same reliable source. Hard coded forced subs. Etc.

Looking for a collection of bluray ripped or possibly full iso collection. On a hdd and mailed.

Im sick of backing up my own movies amd getting mixed results. Or missing the off english subs etc.

If you know a site. Or can supply please message me.

I own over 500 blurays and 1200 dvds.
Just gotten really into this streaming thing.
And downloading torrents is getting to be a hassle.
Never know what ill get.....

Thanks

Edit.
May even be interested in ftp access to one of the reliable solid groups that support my needs..

I've been pm'd 2.25 last guy was offering 2.3 but backed out last minute.
Still taking offers, honestly the lowest I'd like to get is 2.3

Last buyer backed out at last minute. current goin rate is 2.3 BTC OBO
Msg me, would like to move the coin!

Thanks

Shawn

Hmm ya that's what I suspected.
If buyer is still interested and can we can agree on a reliable escrow I'm all for it.

I replied I did not accept your escrow and wished to use someone such as John.  Maybe my message never seg

Bump, Had a buyer offering 2.3BTc but he has disappeared. Open to new offers.
