Review of Panda Miner coming up.

[Eliovp]

I am a bit confused about the cost to mod a Hardware Pandaminer with Eliovp's Pandaminer OS.

I want to buy 4 Pandaminers from China in the next batch (Late March) and get them shipped to a Hosting company not in my Country.

1)How much will it cost to mod with Eliovp's Pandaminer

2)What would be the best way to do it? Get them modded in China or at the hosting company??

1. 400$
2. Dunno what you mean by "get the modded in China".. they don't have the mod i offer..

Greetings!

Thanks Eliovp.

By "getting them modded in China" I mean forwarding them the instructions from you for the mod and getting them to do it.

I am not really sure what is involved with moding from Pandaminers original Windows OS to your Pandaminer OS? Is it just a matter of formatting the SSD and copying your panderminer OS onto it?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Yup, that's basically it.

I did misunderstood you though. it's 400$ for the rom. Not the os.

Looks like we'll be able to build our own Panda-style rigs:

Please someone share the link to corresponding MXM-modules available for purchasing.

Thats a PCIe to 5 MXM expansion card/splitter/riser. Not many motherboards would support that, if any at all. And we cant even get the 1 to 3 splitter to work fully.

yeah true, cool as crap concept though

I would like to tell you it is a nice find  and for 142 usd could be worth playing with.

it is very nice.

it is off topic  and I could say don't dirty the thread but I wont.


btw smOS is working well for me

Hi Phill and Eliovp,

if you want to adjust fan speed standalone;

many delta series fans have internal controller, so you dont need any voltage converter or pwm generator.
wires like this:

Red: +12
Black : GND
Blue: Tacho
Yellow: PWM or voltage control input (we use this pin like that - but i seen very cutted in your picture)

Yellow(comes from fan)--------10K Pot--------->to GND (black)
                                       |_____^

this is a quick and solid solution

also i need some info:
- can you backup your bios rom with this and upload for me?

- i need to know panda motherboard chipset too, you can get this info with hwinfo or cpuz,
i seen Pericom PCI-e switch ic on your pictures (expander) for extra pci-e lanes. but i dont know panda motherboard have chipset or any bridge

thanks, have nice days...

i need to go back and look at the early pages

anyone knows where to by these plugs ?

[philipma1957]

no but details would be helpful as to what you were doing to melt them.


Not blaming you  but curious as to how hard you were pushing the gear. also what were you mining and what psu did you use.


As for getting them repaired you are not the first to melt a jack  I can look at the forum


Maybe this member can help you

Searing

I think he soldered plugs into his knc gear.

[Islidur]

Used Panda-PSU

Maybe the stepdown-converter failed → no fans → damned hell-heat

I have to checkout first.
Dunno if still anything will work.
The Cables have always been a little warm.
Especially if you look at cable most right, they do 2 plugs on same cord.

Yeah I was afraid to use the stock psu for any length of time.

i never had a problem running 1 to 3 splitters working fully on any of my system . the only problem i got , its running 7+ gpu with splitters

[dagarair]

that looks like you have that unit in a heat box with no intake or proper exhaust.  If it gets super hot that is what happens.  Maybe i'm wrong but that looks very inadequate.  I have 10 pandas and all have that power supply and I have never had that issue.  You are right though, I still don't trust that PS it seems too cheap price-wise.  I'm pretty sure greatwall is OCZ though and not having the switching technology from 120/240 probably cuts the price in half.

wow .. thats nasty!

always had some doubts on that panda dragon PSU

you need at least 1600w and since this is a 24x7 mining, better get a server grade PSU

** I am using a old S7 1600w PSU to run the Panda and so far so good.

[Cyper_BLC]

Can anyone grab pandaminer bios image for me?
and also take a picture cpuid chipset page???

Hi,

I saw that PandaMiner will come out with a new type of miner.

Can anybody explain how is this new machine better up against the old one? (the old one has 8xRX480 GPU, the new miner has 8xRX470 GPU, oh, and the power consumption is the same - as I read on PandaMiner's website)

Maybe I missed something?
