how loud are Giants compered to other miners?

Hi
i got mine yesterday and i must say im impressed  with the build and the sound level
i have a look on youtube like most of you will have done
the sound level is a lot less  no more than 2 quads

I added mine to https://muefarm.mp-hosting.co.uk/ we now have  10gigs of power and more on the way



thanks
Paul

Btw, these things are extremely durable.  My cat knocked over a tower of 3 of them from off of about a 1.5 foot high shelf and they worked for the rest of the day until I got home and found them.

Someone paid the additional tax charge for customs clearance in Europe?

I just got my miner and plugged everything in correctly. I've had it turned on and it's still flashing the colors after 10mins, and it doesn't seem to be using the ethernet connection (I can see that the light isn't on for that port on the ethernet switch)? Any ideas whats wrong?

Usually it is going to be a connection someplace.

I would check your network cable, even try swapping it.

Do you see a red light that is illuminated on the orange pi? 
If not then double check the power connection to the controller board is firmly seated in the power plug.

Then double check your USB plug/cable to the first controller board connection.

Lastly check the cross connect serial cables.

These would be the places I would check.  It is usually something simple.

Thanks, there is not a red light on the orange pi, however the ethernet port lights on the orange pi light up. the orange pi power cord seems as  securely fit as possible.. Seems mine is DOA :/

[Longsnowsm]

If you don't have a red light illuminated on the to of the pi then you may have a bad pi.  I will have to defer to Baikal on this one as they may know some tricks I don't on diagnosing this further.

to check if the PI is bad
plug the HDMI output into a monitor
if you get a load of CPU errors  then it might just need a flash of the micro SD card 
i did have that issue on a few minis

if you are in the uk i have spare Orange PIs that i got from them if you pay the postage il send you one

thanks
Paul

I got everything working! It turned out my orange pi didn't come with a micro SD card in it. I went out and bought one and followed the Baikal guide on how to install the right files on it and then i plugged it into the orange pi and everything is well. Thanks though

good news

yeah it's very easy to use and very fast, it update almost instantly for me

btw my temp are 45° what are the maximum temp allowed? now that summer is coming again, i want to be sure that i'm far away from the limit

wanting to know as well, anyone?

as apprently no one knows i have asked baikal:

Regaridng of temmperature
can work good under 72 degrees, once miner is in over-degrees, it will stop hashing automatically. when temperature back to under 72 degrees, miner start automatically, back in hashing/

this miner is really at the forefront, beautiful tech, just a bit too loud for my taste...
