Edit: I think the screenshot showing "A3207" is a typo, and is meant to read "A3206". Edited the topic to reflect that. Looks like redtheminer spilled the beans first: https://twitter.com/redtheminer/status/1024307705006022657

Sweet. Will be interesting to see the pricing of it. Along these lines, wonder if Blokforge.com upgraded my recent order for an APW3++ to the 1,800w APW7 (for free) because they know I'll be getting some of these. Safe bet Blokforge knew about these coming out and being the superb company they are them giving the free upgrade would not surprise me in the least ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I wonder if they will get the power usage down more over time not that it matters it doesn't i have solar i can run three of those in my house with no issue the only pain i see is the noise level those fans do 61 Db .. but id like to see the power usage go down as the th goes up that would be nicer to see . but they beat out the one i linked from Blokforge.com some place that maxes out at 33 th i think it was and usages close to 4 k WATS at max, i think it was that claimed to be 7nm due in Nov 2018 . The GMO miner B3 33TH/S miner Blokforge has as a per order. but the A9 looks like it can be better.

the pangolin M10 is 33,000 gh at 2145 or 65 watts a th
don't know if it has speed settings like the avalon 841 has
the avalon a9 is 26,500 at 1,720 = 64.9 watts a th
don't know if it has speed settings but reads 26,500 to 30,000
I would love to set it to 1720 watts as 3 fit on a 30 amp 240 volt nicely doing 5160
So
Avalon ..... A9 ...........................64.9 watts Pangolin.... M10 .........................65.0 watts Innosilicon. T2 Turbo................... 71.0 watts GMO......... forgot the name......... 82.0 watts BitMain...... S9 .......................... 100 watts
all per th
So bitmain keeps selling the cheap s9's til ?
I am looking forward to getting some avalons asap

I wonder if the Avalon will still have the 30 deg C limit? Is that due to only being a single fan?

I'm not entirely sure if this issue was resolved, but I thought it was firmware related. I've run my 841's all summer at 32°c to 41°c with no issues. Pushed high one day to 42°c and I dropped them to the -1 offset. Either way, I'm "all in" waiting for this release. Great company!!!

Same, up to 40C here ambient with mediocre exhaust still . . not recommended though. Have to watch my PSU's not my avalons at these temps I'm seeing though summer now. Fun day for announcements, glad Canaan will be ready for market soon. Was there word on pricing? 26-30th/s is broad range for them though. Speculation on end result and wattage? Thanks for the break down philipma, always appreciated.

They run at 40 c but drop efficiency 841's do this.
30c they are more efficient
but -1 or -2 settings help efficiency .
This year we had 1 hot week and my 841's ran in 92f 95f 97f 94f days with zero issues ... both the s9's and t1's dropped boards with those temps

Interesting to note that 1720 watts is right up against the power limit for running (2) on a 220V 20amp circuit continuouosly.
20 amps /2 = 10 amps * 80% max = 8 amps * 220V = 1760Watts.
Nice design point!

yeah works for 10 amp circuits =rare 20 amp common 30 amp common 50 amp less common would really like a mini version 13000gh and 850 watts but that is not going to happen.

I have seen recent activity on the Avalon 851 firmware and guessing it's probably for this unless they are releasing a slower model first like they did with the 821. Hopefully you'll be able to chain these with the 8's. So bitmain keeps selling the cheap s9's til ?
I'd guess that they are just waiting to shit on the competition. If they already have something similar or more efficient, they could sell it at 2x's current S9 price and still be cheaper than everyone else.

Why? Is a bad idea... As with the 7 & 8's the miners will be using different firmware and unless ran at default settings will no doubt want different Vcore voltage/offset tweaks. Even mixing within 1 family is not a good idea, aside from the tweaks, if you update firmware ALL miners on the controller are updated to it. Trust me: a 721 does not like thinking it just became a 741.-- been there, done that and fortunately was easy to back out of. Same for the 8's. RasPi's are cheap so it is best to just take the most sensible course

yeah 3 avalon long chains are close to bullet proof. that is 12 per rasp pi. and a rasp pi can be built for under 80 dollars https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Starter-Premium-Black/dp/B07BCC8PK7/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?so pick up a few of them. it only runs into a big expense if you go to a 1200 miner build as 105 at 80 = 8040 if you go to this level you should consider a server that does more the 4 usb ports. chains that a rasp pi does. chains of 5 have a bit more errors then chains of 4 which have a bit more errors then chains of 3 which are close to error free.

Mainly so I don't have to add a switch, more controllers, cabling, and create more points of failure. I fully understand the issues with upgrading firmware and that under/overclocking settings will apply to all units. I run on default settings and currently mix 821 and 841 units without issues.

Hmmm.
Now I have to find somewhere to Install another 30 amp circuit.
Can't wait to see if this offers the same flexibility in voltage settings. They've been a lifesaver running the 841 during the hot summer.
Maybe they'll bundle 3 together and sell them like the "moose", call it the "deer". A nice home miner setup.

That would be nice, so a 30A 240v will run three? Maybe I'll wait on some upgrades if this is the case.

Listed wattage would put you around 21.5 amps for 3 units and 14.3 amps for 2 units.
