This was just a fun project to quickly cobble together working h-boards using Bitfury chips and blank h-boards. Each board uses a modded ISL8225M eval board regulator (0.84V), 16 chips and 16 capacitors and was hand soldered in 2hr.

nicely hacked together! Its amazing how simple the bitfury design is that without the need to convert 12V->0.9V the board is practically empty save for a few capacitors and the chips

24" PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and stripped ends - great for server PSU mods, best prices https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563461
No longer a wannabe - now an ASIC owner!

these ASICs are highly integrated Smiley. The only PITA is debugging a really dead chip in the chain.

Nice going Goxed!

Interested when you are ready to sell. Will you possibly sell it as a kit for the end user to do the soldering themselves?

I'm no EE but I can float a chip.

Man, I wish I could change my avatar!

I could sell it as a kit. (PCB + chips + assembled regulator+ 8 heatsinks). Mounted PCBs will cost ~ 60-80USD more.
 Lets see when the chips are back in stock.

Love this hack.  Let me know if you make some for sale.  I have a couple non-working boards I could try this on.

Well I had a few empty slots to fill in my starter kit, and a month and half ago H-boards went OOS, and the only thing one could buy were chips. This is the result.

So do you want to use chips from non-working h-boards on a new H-board?

I got them manufactured through advancedcircuits as well as oshpark. The oshpark pcb's look dandy but are 0.5ounce Cu. If chips are available for sale in Feb, I will get more boards made.

thats the idea - but have you seen that there is someone doing a group buy for a reel of BF chips?

Very impressive.

Are these compatible with the original M-boards?
