Anyone with November batches of L3+ or D3 getting better-than-advertised results?
My L3+ still hashes at 504MH or slightly less pool-side but the wattage is down as is the heat. Powered by a Seasonic 1200w Platinum PSU, my Watt meter is saying about 715w. Advertised as 800W before PSU inefficiencies. Packaging insert said to expect about 1000W at the wall. The miner runs cool enough to quiet the fans down to 23% and still keep everything under 60°C. The L3+ is located in my finished basement which is carpeted and gas furnace heated like the rest of the house.
My D3 is a slightly different story. Runs hot as hell, 75-80° at stock fans speeds though total consumption at the wall is 1024W when powered by a APW3++ Bitmain PSU. Advertised as 1200W before PSU inefficiencies.
Was Bitmain padding the numbers to be safe or were the November batches tuned better than early releases? Or could it be that the wall voltage tends to run a little hot in this house? Multi-meter reads about 125.5v. I plan to use a dryer outlet for mining which reads 255v. Is that TOO high?
Mine probably WOULD run hot but in a cool data hall....so that is not an issue..the fact they are using 1200 watts each is an issue...neither overclocked...this is at the wall at
220 volts. This is a batch 2 Bitmain D3 unit (2.6k) running at 16gh stable. (should be 17.5gh). It took a lot to get it to run stable with no errors at that. The 2nd Bitmain D3 unit.
(1.5k). This does run at about 19.2gh thou with no errors. (Dubious equipment, not my brightest move)

I also can't believe that folk bought out the Bitmain L3+ units selling in 2 batches in March 2018. That do not have to be shipped until April 10th 2018. I mean really? You really
think Bitmain is going to STOP PRODUCTION for 4 months? Not me. I think they are gonna kick out toasters at the same rate, (say about 200,000 total) and fill their data halls they
plan to get out of China to the USA. (That is prudent, I suppose, with China playing games with Bitcoin and the push to raise electric rates where their miners are now)
But wow! Jihan Wu must be a dancing with all that BCH that is coming in for that equipment ..he can pump and then dump to BTC! (again, IMHO) Games within Games!

'mad dr. evil' skills. Bruahahaahahha......
