Running the chips cooler on my SP20's (from auto fan and chips in the 80's-90's to setting fan to 100 and bringing chip temperature down to 70's) resulted in about 3% lower power consumption for the same hash rate.  Cooler is gooder my friends.

One has to wonder how long fans can operate at 100%. I just don't know.

Years or decades for quality ones. I have old test and industrial equipment from before I was born at work that have standard two wire fans that are running fine covered in dust.

At least as long as FPGAs operating at a steady 100 degrees C.  Or capacitors, PSU's, etc.  If the fan is the weak link in reliability, there was a problem to begin with.  I.E. Asicminer's tube...

[sidehack]

I didn't have a single fan problem on any of the 31 Tubes in my hosting (13 of which are still running). I had two VRMs fail when the exhaust fans weren't working right during a 100F heat wave but that's not bad, 2 out of 992.

Anyone tried overclocking settings with fan speed 90 or 100?

Also, another thing that might be useful would be to have front/back temperature graphs and/or alarms.
I searched in the .php file that takes the stats:

Code:

    </div>
  </div>

So somehow we have to extract the information off these $mpTemp[]  variables..
Anyone got an idea how to do it?
(-> Spondoolies-tech: please implement it in a future patch..)

sigh.......still want one in my basement....could put a comercial unit in when you have them.........the neighbors will not mind the next generation jet engine sounds of the fans right?

i doubt my argument that it would become soothing would work. (this is aside from the usual impracticalness of it all with price/power etc etc)

Now that I've started to sell my comic book collections? *grrrrr*

Can you please explain how to install this package?
Would it be just create the files and copy/paste the code?

[Bicknellski]

Grats on that achievement.

You are already missed!

Be back very soon!

Congratulations!

I hope we will see a price increase in the second hand market!

I second that, but it is not happening so far  .

I found it amazing that nobody had created anything like the SP3X series in almost a year.
Great job from SPT.
Cheers

Huge congratulations, Spondoolies. You're by far the best hardware manufacturer, and as someone who just picked up his first piece of Spondoolies kit yesterday I sincerely hope to be able to purchase more from you in the near future. Incredible quality hardware, puts everything else in my "farm" to shame.

Congrats!   I've been a customer for each version of their hardware and the Team @ Spondoolies-Tech has built some awesome hardware!   Looking forward to Gen3!

Congrats, love my sp20E BUT don't forget us (home miner) in your next gen !
