ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH

[fullzero]

I tested a bunch of different settings; I recommend:

Fan %    Freq     Watts     TH/s     Error %
 30         612      1237     4.85      0.025

Measured 76 dB at 30% fan speed; surprisingly quiet.
These run about 5C cooler than an S5+ 1/3 with the same power consumption.
This allows you to run the fan at a lower speed.

I used an EVGA 1300 G2 PSU so you should get slightly better w/GH with a server PSU.

0.255 w/GH with a Gold PSU 

Could you double check the frequency? Looks like a possible typo?

Its not; the default freq for the S7 is 600

I have a lot of EVGA 1300 G2's so I swapped 1x single pcie for a branch pcie and used a $6 splitter on another of the single pcie.

I would recommend getting your splitters on amazon before they sell out.  You will need 2x of them in addition to the standard G2 cable set.

Have you tried just using 2/3 pcie connectors on each board?

At freq 300 power and hash are almost exactly 1/2; so no apparent underclock gains. 

Not willing to ssh and change voltage settings yet.  These have a lot more hw errors than I expected, but within reason; 0.03 %

Trying to find the lowest fan speed that keeps temps below 60c.

Do not think that voltage adjustment will be possible by any means except reducing the 12V supply. Looking forward to hearing results from the first person to try this?

No; I don't see why anyone wouldn't spend $12 for adapters which allow them to not void the warranty on a $1800+ machine.

This being said the power draw is ~134 watts per pcie with 3 connected.  Having ran a Bitfury full rig that drew ~240 watts per pcie I know an EVGA 1300 G2 can handle the ~201 watts per pcie the S7 hashboard pcie would draw with 2 connected.  

Do I want to try this to potentially save $12 in adapters per S7? No; its not worth it to me.

Mine was finally processed in California and is now heading to Toomim Bros in Washington.

I'm sending mine to Toomim Bros also so post your experiences when things get set up for you.  I placed my order on 9/6 so nothing for me yet.

Well it arrived and they set it up fast and it's running right now reporting 4.6ish at Eligius.

I'm impressed with Toomim so far.

I had some SP30s being hosted by them and have nothing but good things to say about them.  Really prompt response time to any questions/issues I had.

So it looks like the first day of sales for the first batch have arrived and the difficulty hasn't skyrocketed so I'm hopeful difficulty's not gonna be too crazy.. well until the SP50s are released..

Just saw this on my tracking from UPS "The receiver must pay the duties or taxes due on the package."

how much do I have to pay?  Im in Oregon, generally never had to pay any duties or taxes.. but never had anything sent this value before

Difficulty will rise, but maybe not as much as we fear. I think any rigs older than 1 year will soon have to shut down. You might see some S3 and S3+ stay in the game for a few more months- but a person will need free electricity to keep those running much longer.

Maybe I'm way off base tho.

WOW!!!  I've never seen this before either.  How many units did you purchase?  How much do they say you owe in duties/taxes?

I got the same thing on my UPS tracking. So, I logged in. It tells me I owe $308.09 CDN. Now that's a lot higher tax than another Cdn (guitarplinker) paid. So I'm a bit surprised.


EDIT: I called UPS and asked what the shipper declared as the value. They indicated $2280+ CDN.

This is really pissing me off!!!  I ordered nine (9) units myself.  I hope I don't have to pay a hell of a lot on top of what I already paid.  I would like to know what the tax/duties is for?  Damn government.

Thanks...

Please let me know how much they are going to want for the two you ordered.  Much appreciated...

whats weird is, the second unit i ordered doesnt have that note on the tracking at all.. only the first one.. and they are separate tracking numbers so its not a 2 package shipment.

don't know for a fact, but most likely it is due to bitmain posting a wrong weight on the package (someone mentioned it before)-it is somewhat scandalous that they would do it after charging us full price for shipping $46 for UPS when it is the same they charged for S5, which was heavier.
If it happens, they would need to issue a rebate as it is clearly their fault. However, it should not be more than $20 (optimistically).

You shouldn't have to pay duties or taxes if you are in the US.
My tracking showed the same message but then it was later cleared.
It is now in transit currently located in Alaska.
Can't wait till tomorrow.

yeah mine is in alaska now too.. but the one still shows that msg..

chatting with a rep and he said

When it comes to the exception, it indicates that duties, taxes and brokerage fees have been applied to this shipment, the charge is $39.74. You can pay for this using a check or money order payable to UPS upon delivery.

can you easily redirect internatioonal UPS package to a local UPS store? thanks

i don't want to sit around afraid to leave the house. One time I took a brief shower and UPS truck missed me-had to go to the warehouse to get it on the same day

So talked with a rep on the phone and it looks like US Customs flagged 1 out of 2 total packages and now I have to pay $39.74 in taxes / duties / import fees.

She said customs probably overlooked my other package which is why only one was flagged

I didnt realize we have to pay these fees in the US, and what a bunch of BS that 1 must have made it through without discrepancy, but the other requires this fee? when its the same damn thing

I had this on PSU's before from bitmain.  I got sent a letter after they were already delivered I ended up paying like 8 bucks for 3 PSU's.   Mine was the weight they claimed was wrong compared to actual. 

I'm guessing yours is something like. But I could be wrong.
