ISAWHIM: I agree, one would think they would be using machinery to apply thermal paste/heat sinks. Just goes to show you they are assembling these CRUDELY by hand.
By the looks of the latest pictures, I don't see the same type of assembly line as seen by Bitmain/Bitmine. My thoughts are this is a half ass manufacturing process: so forget about consistency. I won't be surprised if there are many of the same issues with the newer models.

I won't be surprised if there are many of the same issues with the newer models. You should have seen the nightmare I had with my HIS-Radeon 7970's... half didn't even have enough compound to cover half of the chip. The memory used heat-pads with a cloth-center like duct-tape, limiting the GPU from having adequate contact, and the voltage-regulators didn't even touch the heat-sink, where they carefully crafted a place for them to touch. Had to file-down the riser-feet holding the PCB board at the improper height from the heat-sink, shim and paste the VR's so they could touch, remove the heat-pad duct-tape from the memory, and then all was well. Saved me 18-20c in thermal transfer for cooling. (Those reference card designs still suck though.) Hottest ones I have running, out of all my designs. The heat-sink fins are only tacked-on at four points, with no paste or contact anywhere underneath to the heat-pipe vessel. Yes, a vessel, like a giant flat pancake... Horrible design.  ) |

I'd assume they were Radeon cards (never been a fan). Perhaps since they have had a surge in bitcoin usage, production QA has gone through the floor.

witht he delivery delay killing my direct btc mining profitability, the only saving grace has been alt coins. first UNO, before it spiked up and then dropped back down, and now Mazacoin, MZC. shameless plug for the best mzc pool incoming. https://mzc.united-miners.comthat lil 80GH rig has brought in about .2btc in the last 36 hours. much better than the avg .01-.02/day Might actually ROI at this rate. |

I intend to coarsen. I want stark contrasts drawn. I want polarization. I will not quietly accept stateism so as not to upset anyone. I am not tolerant of our impending and increasing slavery.

I heard they were planning on shipping today regular cased 1.2's and in 1-2 days rack cased 1.2's, but I haven't been able to reach anyone over the phone to confirm it. I heard the board problems have been resolved for now.

I ate those grapes... I hated those damn things... They look like M&M's that spent too long in the hot-tub, died, and turned purple, but still moved... Like zombie-M&Ms! Won't mention the other thing they resembled, when they stood side by side, holding the Saxophone between them... But you can use your imagination for that one. |
