Sorry about that just trying to be helpful.
I think you guys are great, don't want to be a pain.
I'll just read for now.

5k is too much
I can get 2.5k to host 28 s7's

$70 per kW per month

28 s7's use 35kw

Can you please stop talking to yourself in one-liners. This thread has dozens if not hundreds of subscribers who get alerts of your monologue. Surely you can spare a couple of minutes to make a single coherent post instead of the above. Thank you.

Still waiting on two more batch 1 orders dated 9/04 and 9/15.

Also have a pre 8/31 unit which stopped hashing at optimum (dropped by 1/3) after 10 days online.  Hard and and soft reboots with not change.  Appreciate some assistance on warranty service, Bitmain.  Reference your support ticket #4143.  

Do you know which board? Sounds like a board if it is one third. You can see a little red light on the hashboard near the connectors.
If no red light then...
You can detach hash cables one at a time to find the offending board.
Sometimes dropping the frequency will pop it up.

Have one s7, lots of time with other bitmain products.

Thnx for the reply, wolfen.  Same here.  I've been an infrequent poster but have been running equip since the GPU days.  Moved through ASICMiner block erupters, Bitfury/MBP units and a few BFL units; and now solely running Bitmain equipment.  The problem seems to be the chain 1 board.  Yes, there are red lights on all three boards.

The pic below shows the chip failures on the board.  Interesting to note... I have yet to see the chip failures displayed again on the web page.  Hard, soft reboots and freq changes - still o's.  The chips show o's every time I check the page.  Something's definitely amiss..  Thoughts?

This must be what they saw when they shut everything down.

What psu are you using?

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Notice of shipment with tracking from UPS, due deliver on the 19th......

We'll see..

What was your payment date and number of miners orders (if you care to share)?

They must like you better than me.

I ordered on 9/5 and I've got bupkis. No shipping notification.

[thedreamer]

I've been riding them for a refund since 9/28, maybe they got tired of my ticket updates. 
I'd rather have my $$ back but I guess a miner in hand is better than nothing.

I ordered/paid 9/8.

I am talking 20 S7 Antminers @ 24KWatts.  Yeah gross would be around $6k per month which would leave a net of $1k per month after paying the $5k to the data center.  My ROI would be 3 years.  That is not a good!

There must be some error in the quote. Nobody charges that much. For example, it would cost about 1300 USD to host at my datacenters at 57 USD / kW. Other datacenters from Canada charge about this rate too.

I just went back to the quote:

16 kW at $340/kW for a monthly fee of $5,440 with a one time setup fee of $1,500.......The grand total monthly was $$5,790 with a One Time Install Fee List Price of $2,500........ This is crazy!!!!!

$340/kW?  That is absurdly high.  You should be looking for a host in the $60-$75/kW range.

I did math earlier and I don't believe anyone would charge this much if based on asic hosting.  If he went to a regular server farm.... possibly if very top tier.

But they would not be geared for asics.  Look into asic hosting it is much cheaper and has more cooling then normal hosting.

Anything over $300/kW/month for the total package sounds like high-density colo with clean uninterrupted power to the cabinet. This is definitely not cost effective for mining.

They never even responded to my request for a refund, even though I knew it would not be honored. I'd rather have my coins back at this point..

Thanks for the ordered/paid info, it's 11:00 am in China now. I wonder if I will be lucky and get even a farcking power supply shipped before the weekend!

I live in Texas and have a locked in 0.085 residential rate (yay, deregulation), which isn't the best in the world I admit. I researched the multiple co-lo's in the area and I could save a penny with commercial service, but the added in cabinet space and limitation on kW per rack added in an additional $100-200. Since most of the co-lo's here are geared towards oil/gas, there are very few low tier providers. The ones that do exist have no bitcoin mining policies, heh. I guess they oversubscribe the kW allotment and don't want people that use the max like most residential internet providers.

I almost think part troll.    I can't decide if it is a account being horribly farming an account.  Or if wanting responses and trolling.

It is almost a mixture of the two really.  And put that in a thread that people are not happy with not receiving on time or other issues, its like asking for a explosion of words at some point.

I don't think so, it's like that person in irc that hits enter after every sentence or thought. (guilty)

Actually, Texas is rather overbuilt with datacenters, especially Dallas.  If you wanted wholesale space, say an entire suite of 7200+ square feet, and provided your own racks, you would likely pay $130-$150/kW/month.  The "no bitmining policy" have sprung up due to data centers being left out in the cold when prices dropped.   I've been in centers with rows of S1s powered down - just abandoned with back rent due.  The mining company folded and left the datacenters to suffer.

If you expect the data center to provide more than space, power, and cooling (like racks, network gear, overhead cable trays, etc.) - expect to pay more.

Note that every colo has their own pricing model.  Some charge for space, some for power, some for both.  Some measure power by metered rack, others charge by power whip, still others include a base usage with a cap.  Some require you to pay for a "reserved" amount of power you will never exceed.  Some have fairly heavy setup fees, some roll that into their monthly charge.  All want long term commitments with a 3 year lease being the minimum and a preference for 5 to 7 year leases.

If you can find a new data center built about 3-5 years ago, you may find one with excessive power capabilities that will cut you a deal.  Many data centers back then figured new clients would need 8-12kW/Rack, when in fact, most customers average about half of that.  So they have power grids, UPSes, and Generators designed to support about twice as much power per square foot than what they can sell.  Power hungry bitminning could help them balance a bit.  Downside is that most of those folks also built themselves concurrently maintainable space with 100% uptime capability.  That is a feature that cost money that bitmining doesn't need nor does it want to pay for.

Yeah... I help find data centers for companies for a living...

Hey all,
Pardon the brief change in topic, but I figured this was the best place to get an answer about powering an S7. Can you safely power an S7 using an EVGA 1600W PSU in a standard 15amp home circuit? I was under the impression it could but I noticed on the warranty card it states the total pull is 16amp. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes you can but the circuit needs to run the psu and not much else.

I am running it on 240 but I have run it on 120. 

On 240 you can squeeze a bit more then 120.

In no case should your s-7 use more then 1300 watts or 11 amps 120

Hey Philipma1957, much thanks for the clarification

I live in the greater Houston area, so let me know of some t2-3 datacenters with good rates.

I had order S7 Batch 3   1+2 yesterday.
I had paid btc.
But the system show unpaid and order color is grey ?
Would webmaster check and adjust it ?

Has it been over a hour?  If so it just did not make enough confirmations in time to show successful.

Email bitmain with the info and they will have to fix manually.  Don't worry it happens many times.  Your money is safe.

OK.
It is ok now~~
over 24H.  Thanks Bitmain !
