Given my Blokforge order for an A1041 was supposed to ship July 15-20, if it doesn't ship today (because of the weekend) I'll consider it officially late.

When the 921 first came out I ordered a couple from Blokforge. Those shipped late too and Blokforge blamed it on customs holding them. I liked ordering from Blokforge to support a U.S. business, but the markups for customs and doing away with credit card processing killed it for me. I've always gotten early or on time when ordering directly from manufacturer.

We just got the first batch today, will run though testing and shipping ones that are to spec starting Monday, although we like to never ship late, we are at the mercy of the manufacturer to ship on time, but they are all swamped right now.

We will be shipping the 1st batch monday. We need to upgrade the firmware on all units this weekend prior to shipment due to DHCP lease rule code issue on some units. You should all receive tracking monday.

And this is why we do not dropship to customers, its our responsibility the units are functioning as expected prior to shipment if purchased from us.

Thanks for your patience.

You can email us screen shot of your version and if so we can guide though update if needed, can jump on telegram with you. You will know if you have the issue, wont be able to access the machine any longer though network. Not sure if your beta has turbo mode or not, depending how beta it was.

it comes and goes it has 2 speeds 31th and 37 th.

Gear is in a remote site I will post info sometime in next 3-7 days as I am going up to site in next week.

1st bath is now shipping today.

After getting devs to work out another DNS bug last night that was reverting DNS to mainland china address causing lockup, units are solid now, reflashing all of them. Also added tool to upgrade firmware within the web portal so does not have to be done with command line any longer as that would have made people lose their mind.

average seems to be 37TH/s@2098W in performance and 32.4TH/s@1823W in standard with 89F ambient.

Excellent and the one on its way takes care of the order I did May 13th that was slated for 'early July".
Now... About the order I placed on June 25th for 2x A10's that were supposed to ship July 15-20 -- Any dates for *that* batch?

For me, my order was the July 15-20 batch and, based on communications with Blokforge about my order, IS this batch.

Hmm... I've only gotten recent info on my May 13th order and nothing (yet) about the 2 that I ordered on June 25th. Huh

Shipping all of July shipment ones, you may have only gotten one email notification. If you PM me your order numbers can make sure, or reply to the one email, but All July will ship.

Got my shipping notification from Blokforge!

let us know how these work. @ blokforge do these units have the premounted psu.

the beta ones I got have a loose psu. gospower is the name.

Good point, the units being shipped this batch have the loose PSU from gospower. Blokforge sent around an email just prior to shipping to make sure buyers were ok with receiving this different psu setup from the mounted/integrated psu that was indicated at preorder.

I only have two beta units so loose psu’s are not a big issue.

But I do wonder if the efficiency is different.

I will say this. The a1041 on low speed 31th is a nice quiet unit. Does around 58 watts a th maybe less 57 or 56
