Anyone have experience using the S7 in an upright position where it's sitting on a wire shelf with the exhaust fan pointing to the ceiling and the intake fan at the bottom? I'm hearing that this would increase the risk of the heat sink falling and burning out the boards but when I look at the pictures of the internal, regardless of what position there will always be some heat sink that will be in a vertical position. Any other reason why I should avoid this particular configuration? Intake air wont be block as it's wire shelves below have plenty of gaps for air. My goal is to point all the exhaust fans to the ceiling Vent for better efficiency.
I have 3 running in this configuration and using fans in drop ceiling to pull all the hot air above the drop ceiling. Works well, I just zip tied the corners of the miner fans to the wire rack to make sure they don't tip over. |

I was thinking of using the S7 built in groove and connect 6 on 1 side of the rack and 6 on the other side. The lower Rack will have the PSU running the power up to them. from the left and right side. |

Will be interesting to see what happens they had it on fixed BTC as it seemed to be rising and was better then fixed USD. I really would not be surprised if we see a switch back to fixed USD if it drops much more. Or I could be wrong and they sell at lower price hoping for more sales. |

Has anyone got these shipped to the USA From Bitmain China ? How long did it take. What does it cost? I hear their support doesn't exist at all. So. Hopefully they run flawlessly or else. Doomed. Comments ? |

Looks like its basically costing exactly half of what it did when it was initially introduced in September. Wasn't the list price like $1800 USD ?

They made good on their promise, even if the amount of the compensation is underwhelming. I bet they had to write new code to deliver the compensation. That's probably partly why it took so long. Hard to prioritize coding resources for the goal of losing money. Of course the justification would be improved PR with the community. The lesson for Bitmain is to make good on their published deadlines rather than dealing with costly compensation efforts. If they had just shipped batch 1 before the holiday, none of this would have happened. |
