Today they are running in some of that 80 degree summer heat. So far doing great. It turned out to be a great week to test in summer conditions.

I am testing low clocks today. still using my 120 volt power as I am able to do volt/watt reading. 589 watts for the screenshot below so 589/1200 = 0.49083 watts a gh

Thanks for sharing philipma1957. It does a nice job on under clocking. I was happy to get 3 of them running on 1 110 breaker. Still have not made jump to a 240.

I finally got all parts needed to do in house 240 volts correctly. I will post results on my thread tonight.

They used to be industry leader but now they mimic the design of SP20

It might appear to mimic the SP20 long design but they actually are very different. The case is more of a capsule for lack of better term. It is opened from end where fan is, leaving top opening like SP20. The biggest difference is the one fan implementation in the Avalon 4.1. They were very concerned on noise and made it very very quiet.

Literally have to check the miner sometimes cause my gaming laptop is louder and i cant hear it running. A pleasure to own!

the 2.1kg between sp20 and this miner, i guess, is mostly aluminium... it's also the wattage difference maybe the fan is better noise wise...
that's y the reduced noise!

It is a rock solid case on both miners. On the Avalon 4.1 it just seems they put a real effort to find a quiet miner. They managed to do it with one fan running low. It's hard to believe it's running from across the room. The SP20 is a great miner to, i love them. Only thing is they are quite a bit louder.

It's official 3 units can make it through a few 80 degree days. I still don't have good solid 80 degree day's. At night in high 60's.
Will make sure to update on how it deals with ambient temperature. So in a day a range of high 60's to mid 80's and all three miners working good.

It's been a little while since a update. Currently I have 3 Avalon 4.1's running together. They pull around 550 at the wall with gold power supplies. Using a RM1000 to power one, and an EVGA 1300 for powering other two. (I had these laying around is reason I used these PSU's). At wall they pull around 550 each. So were looking at 1650 at wall. With my 20 amp breaker I am able to run this on a 110 circuit, but it does not have room for much else using that power. With this currently I am able to get around 2800+ GH/s . This is shown below:

I am doing 2 right now pushing at them pretty hard. I have two giving me I am using the 240 volt pdu and the new 240 volt circuit right next to the breaker box. the amps read 6.2 on the pdu meter so 6.2 x 240 = 1488 watts I am using my big 1600 watt evga plat psu. so 1488/2260 = 0.65 watts per gh which sucks but I am getting overpaid on nicehash renting so pushing the gear up to this level still earns more. these units will go as high as 2400 even 2500gh but my 1600 watt plat would fall just short at 2500 so I left head room.

Thanks for sharing! That is nice seeing them pushed to that. The ability to change the speed so much is very nice. We can run a underclock for normal mining, but if things happen such as nicehash/westhash paying so much they can be pushed.
I'm all for gear with a nice underclock, it really gives you a lot of options.

yep and I posted photos of it using the 240 volt outlets and the pdu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1024540.msg11147119#msg11147119

With the this week westhash was paying good amount over straight BTC. I used the 3 miners for a few day's they did very well. Below is a screenshot:

Bump for Teferi66's troubleshooting.
This show's 3 being set up with a Raspberry Pi. Once getting first one set up, it was as easy as using a hub and plugging in other 2.

A little over a week and a half of running a set of 3 Avalon 4.1's. It's amazing even with three the quiet level they achieve. There is not another miner that matches it on sound. Yes it's a premium price for this though. So pro and con.
I have turned up the fan's just to test them out. You can make them where you can hear them if you turn them up. Most would be insane to do this, but I have ran it with higher fan's a few days. Really no positive effect to make it worth while. Still same speed with underclock, and temperature is fine either way.

Below is a nicer and longer frequency chart that has been put up on the ehash site. I personally come closest to the 542 watt usage on the three setup I am using, as underclocked I get a better electric efficiency.
