Hi,
is there selling boards with full soldered parts but without BFL chips possible to order?
I'll like to solder the chips by myself if they arrives. Some samples are allready waiting for soldering
How can I order 6 to 12 boards and when will they arrive to germany if I will order tomorrow
Are boards without chips pre-tested?
Cheers...
Possible... But you need to know what you are doing...
If you order tomorrow and we would have boards in hands it would take about 4 days... It can be done quicker but I see no point in that since chips are not jet delivers...
Hi Lucko
COINTAMINATION
I notice from your posts you are estimating 20 days from chip arrival to mount the boards.
I will need 2 "full" boards for certain for my batch 2 chips 17th July +120 daysI will need 2 "full" boards for certain for my batch 3 chips 14th August +120 daysThe unknown at the moment is my BFL little single.
If this arrives before the batch 2 chips,( 27th October?) I need to decide on upgrade or not to upgrade.
(some guidance may be required as to the cost of this)
If it does not arrive by then( 27th October?) my question is:-
When would I need to confirm a "half" board to meet with the remainder of my batch 2 chips?
Maybe I'm asking this to soon. You are still to announce your board costs.
Its possible that when your batch 1 chips arrive, and you have better chips, the "COINTAMINATION"
may leave the BFL's out in the cold with regard to Hashing rates.
No idea where did you get 20 days... I think that after BFL sends it will take about 4 to 6 days to get them. Then processing 100 chips is into a big deal and shroud be done in a day.. And then 24 hour test on your pool and shipping to UK... I guess 10 days max
About single a need to ask form... What he discovered...
And yes it is possible. My Jala flashed with CONTAMINATION firmware is doing 8,6MH... Jala was 6,5 stock(2 GH upgrade), upgrade to 1.2.5 was 7,3 and doing what was suggested in in this forum in "Experimenting with Jalapeno firmware..." got it to 7,8...
For the rest give me some time...
It was previously stated here that you can supply your own chips for board assembly.
Yes it is. It will cost you a bit more then GB buyers but yes you can.
Maybe it is better to have the soldered boards without opposides capacitors mounted?
I can send pm for detail and payment questions ;-)
What is not a good idea it to have the capacitors on the opposide of the board. This will prevent the mounting
on standard 19" disk array rack or I must use one with more high :-(
The other point on the capacitors are they temp stable enough ? I know that low quality capacitors have decreased live time :-(
Maybe I cannot find the exact dimensions of the board without cooling ( length x with x low (lower side) x high (upper side). If not allready posted, can you give me the dims, please?
I think you are mistaken test board and production board. And test board had capacitors there with a reason... Heating them with air from fan decrease there life. But production board has different type so they are not on the back...
- New size: 189.23 x 144.78 mm cooling is probably about 50 to 60 mm high
