By changing the resistor to 2.2k gives us 0V74 Vcore. This will push the hashrate up a bit and support higher clocks. We will run a production batch with this resistor to try to bring the cards within spec. Fans are highly recommended in anything but polar regions  Why not glue heatsinks on the chips? |

SMT resistor costs 0.005 in quantity. How much does thermal glue and 10 heatsinks cost?

I was the second order (#218), and now happily hashing away Went for the install before instructions were available, and powered one H-board when it was oriented the wrong way  Luckily only one of the 16 chips was burned and it's hashing fine now. H-board components should be facing the raspberry. Gotta be careful with this stuff. Ordered 6 starter kits, got 8 to hit the promised hashrate as they're slightly underperforming. Getting ~150-157GH, I think. It varies a bit and I don't have a good reading from pool yet. Power usage is 120W at the wall, which comes to just 0.8J/GH. Very nice. No noise either obviously as it's passively cooled, which is great if you're going to be mining somewhere where that matters. Compact design is a plus too. A crappy (sorry!) pic of a starter kit:  Edit: 2 of the boards are slow. Not sure what's the matter with those, they seem to lose speed over time, with some chips going offline. Perhaps the software needs a bit more polishing   |

I am not sure if I understand what you mean? Resistor is not a magic solution to generated heat? Punin was saying that by changing the resistor they are increasing the voltage and achieve higher clock rate. In expense of higher heat generation. Therefore I was wondering why wouldnt they glue heatsinks on the boards to cool them a bit. If you get heatsinks/glue in mass quantities the cost would be nearly nothing... |

Dyaheon, did you get a tracking number when your unit was shipped and do you mind posting a photo of the assembled unit? Thanks! spiccioli |

Hi! I had order #217. It's hashing with only 54 watts from the wall!! Very much thanks to Punin & Bitfury group!  |

I did, yeah. Anduck's pic will probably suffice? My setup is ugly for now. |

I thought you had to populate the m-board in order (slot 1, slot 2, etc.) or the m-board would not see the later h-boards? It looks like you've spread the h-board out over the bus. Did they all come up and work?

Seems they are now grouped into A B C D |

These are version 2 m-boards, you can tell by the PCIe power connectors versus the ring terminal connectors on version 1. Version 2 boards need to have boards populated one per bank instead of in order. |

Important: Also please note that if you are not populating the M-board fully the best results will be achieved by spreading the H-boards evenly between the four channels.

Version 2 boards need to have boards populated one per bank instead of in order. That looks like another great improvement on the m-board! I didn't notice that the h-board slot number been updated, looks like identifying the banks will be easy. /cet |

after starting device(without monitor) can some1 explain step by step what to do (how to connect and control miner from PC, ty forwrd)))
me wanna be prepared for action)

These are version 2 m-boards, you can tell by the PCIe power connectors versus the ring terminal connectors on version 1. Version 2 boards need to have boards populated one per bank instead of in order. Best way to populate is A1,B1,C1,D1 A2,B2………A4,B4,C4,D4. If you have problematic boards that give lot of errors try moving them as last card of bus. |

Very nice. I'd like to ask everyone that receives one to consider posting proof so the bet may be accurately resolved. |

We are working on web-based setup and stats. So getting up and running would require: - Assembly according to included instructions (we're not included in first shipped units). - Powering up - Pointing web browser to your router to see what IP was given to RasPi (might not even be necessary as we have hosthame set). - Pointing web browser to RasPi and entering your settings |
