Please see this for guidance:

Yeah, you can get like fifty spare part fans with that loss amount  

But I'm glad to see the test results with the D3.
Looking good so far.  

Well when I asked to get my batch 1 miner little earlier in exchange to do a thorough review,  I got a no for answer.
"You are already going to have it as soon as possible".

But seems like somebody else has better relationship with Bitmain.

No, I'm not salty at all 

Joke: Yes I'm just as powerful as the S9.   Just gimme paper and a pen, and I'll start hashing.

 

Okay, if we talk seriously:
S9's are the most efficient but not easily available and failure rate is huge for some batches.
AvalonMiners are not the best with power efficiency but are rock solid. Second best availability at the moment.
Ebit E9 Plus are in the same category with power efficiency as Avalonminers. There is not much data for Ebit miner quality. Best availability at the moment.

Then there is also Ebang with the Ebit E9 Plus.

That is a correct cable.

The left connector in the picture is Type F "schuko".

The right connector in the picture is C13.

Well it's fine as long as soldering and all work are done properly with proper knowledge.

I use Prohashing.

I would still suggest using the breakout board and buy or make PCI-E power cables for it.

Just make sure that in the psu end you have the C13 connector.

And when it comes to the electrical wall socket connector, here is a lot of information and pictures of plugs to help you out

Follow the official repair guide carefully.

When it comes to inserting the tracking number in the repair ticket,
i's easier when you buy a prepaid shipping label for the package.

Bitmain shop is in maintenance mode, but I was able to find you the guide in Google webcache https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:b0e1O6KjwpgJ:https://shop.bitmain.com/workOrderGuide.htm

Innosilicon does not offer bitcoin mining hardware ASIC hardware at the moment.

At the moment they only offer hardware for x11 algo and scrypt algo.

I have rock solid experience with HP server power supplies.

Sidehack has a power supply kit including breakout board and 10x PCI-E power cables for sale for only 80 USD.

See the DPS1200 PSU Kit in that thread.

Antminer L3+ needs roughly 800W power.
This has enough power capacity in both 110-120V (max. 900W) and 220-240V (max. 1200W) mains voltage systems.

There are November batch L3+ miners available at www.eastshore.xyz in case somebody is interested to buy one with a premium cost price.

Then there is the group buy for the BW-L21 miner that user mindtrip is planning to do.
See his message: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2118409.msg21399034#msg21399034

And then there is also Innosilicon A4+ miner preorder going on, I don't know any specific details like delivery time and price.

Those are the scrypt miners option available at the moment, as far as I know.

Best case is that you would have a dedicated distribution box for mining gear and a dedicated energy meter for that.

It is also possible to have multiple groups (one phase or three phase) measured with these DIN rail mounted energy meter for example
Search Google with words "schneider electric din rail energy meter" for example to get the picture what I mean.

It's not really that hard to find.....  goddamnit

So you really are blind, but also stubborn.

This is a sticked thread at top of the bitcoin mining hardware section clearly saying "No posts about GPUs or altcoin mining here, use the correct sub-forums".
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2017600.0

Go to the altcoins sections Mining (altcoins).

There is already an existing thread for the D3, no need for you to create a new one.

November XX.

They didn't give me more specific date than that.

Please listen to more wise people and see this answer:

No.

You have a lot more learning to do when it comes to different algorithms and different miners.

See the page 2, post 37. I know at least that mindtrip is planning a group buy.

I think you guys have a huge possibility to reach the minimum 100 units quantity.
