Since your from the US did they send you a 110V power supply or 220V?

I have 220volts  I think it is their stock psu

this is my youtube channel I have a soundproof tunnel waiting for this miner along with a few other mining videos.

Hello,

The PSU is 220v, we dont have 110v at this moment.

We may customize some when we have more order from US market,.

Hello,

We may customize some when we have more order from US market,.

With the miners drawing between 1,800w and 2,000w do not even try designing the PSU to run on 110V.  Some uninformed customers may ask about it but they do not realize what trying to supply that much power using 110v line means.

In North America standard 110v receptacles are only rated 15A (1,650w). Running higher loads on 110v would require installation of a 25A 110v line and receptacle. If a new receptacle and line are needed, is just easier (and better) to have 220v service installed.

[HagssFIN]

If somebody really needs 110V mains voltage power supplies, three pieces Dell 750W server psu with breakout board and cables should do the trick when there is one psu per one hash board.
And you would need two or more different circuit groups to do that.

But really, 220V is the way to go.

It would need to be a 3 psu   or 2 psu setup on standard usa 110 volt sockets  and that brings you other issues.

Ie the psu's need 2 circuits to work at 110 volts.

When I get mine I will demo running it on 110/120 volts as I have places with multiple 120 volt circuits.

To all USA miners  getting a 30 amp 240 volt circuit and using a pdu is well worth it.

My video channel shows a 30 amp pdu  running at 240 volts.  I am using 13 -14 of those amps.

Note 30 amp pdu's fuse to 24 amps  to make sure you do not use too much power 24 x 240 = 5760 watts

my 220/240 volt setup runs at 239 to 243 volts

some places in the usa you could be as low as 217 volts  which is  24 x 217 = 5208 watts

What do you think in making a little miner?, like 400W or lower power

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Um, already exist from several years ago -- called the Ant S3 series... They too used 28nm chips and while a respin of them to use string topo vs many Vcore bucks may give better specs I doubt would be worth it when so many of the now very cheap old Ants are to be found on eBay et al.

[HagssFIN]

I received the miner and power supply today evening, about half hour ago. 

Very fast delivery via DHL. In Tuesday it was in Hong Kong and in Friday it is in Finland.

I already inspected the miner and power supply visually, took a ton of pictures, made the connections ready.

Tomorrow I have good time to put it into operation, measure power and all kinds of stuff that will be part of the review.

Here is a teaser photo.



Stay tuned.

waiting for the review

[philipma1957]

I would love two things the review from Haggs

 and DHL tracking number for my unit

[TheYankeesWin!]

So Phil did you get a tracking number?

[philipma1957]

So far no tracking.  So while Haggs got a unit. I do suggest  don't buy yet.  No tracking  for me  makes me nervous.

I went off my policy  for new companies   and it could be a screw up on my part.

You got to give it more time Phil.

They first ship it from mainland China to Hong Kong.

Then from Hong Kong to the US, DHL is going to take care of the delivery.

As soon as DHL has it, you will get the tracking details for the shipment.

This is how it went in my case.

No in Europe the S3 goes from 200 to 300 euros, is really too high.
