I presume the noise is related to the amount of heat being produced within a small area. Maybe try adding a desk fan, see if noise relates to room temp
Adding fan won't help. Our recommendation will be to host in a data center. We'll provide easy way to configure remote access. In addition, we'll offer competitive hosting plans from Mid April. |

Production will start on the 6th. We're working to expedite the ASICs shipment. Most of the systems will be shipped by the 15th. May we have two ASICs shipments, 6th and 20th. This is why the current May batch is tagged "Early" We'll produce as fast as possible and ship after the minimal 1 day burning test needed. In case of hosting, the burning will be to the customer wallet of course. In case of shipping, we'll find a charity wallet to do the burn-in towards. |

The noise is related to the need to force a lot of air through a small space. Most high performance 1U servers are very loud. If you modify the system design you can probably make it quieter (at your own risk of course). It is also possible to get a soundproof (or at least reducing) enclosure for rack mount gear, at added cost of course. |

not surprised its loud - look how many 40mm fans it uses! (7?)
A 3U or 4U unit using 120mm fans could achieve similar airflows with much less noise if scaling up. The dawson-30 will be a good example of this

So, Guy (Spondoolies-Tech CEO) has just dropped by to deliver my sample SP10 – Dawson unit. Here are some photos of it in operation, right here in my living room:   The first thing to notice is that it's noisy. I heard it would be noisy (pun intended) but thought I could maybe pull it off - and it really is that bad, I'm probably not going to run it at my home. There's a "slient" mode which sacrifices some performance for quiet, but it too doesn't help very much. Basically, to operate it all you have to do is connect it to power and to the LAN, and access its control panel through the browser in any computer on the network. They've developed the software tools to make operating the device easy, bu there are still software and firmware issues to work out. We had to mess with it a bit until we got it working, but it looks like it will be fixed soon.  What is more interesting is the hardware. I've configured it to connect to my account at Eclipse MC. After running it for a few minutes to let Eclipse sample the hashrate, Eclipse reported a hashrate of 1.4 TH/s (Holy-Fire_3 in the image). It fluctuated a bit, probably due to sampling errors, but it seems inline with the advertised specs. [IMGwidth=600]https://i.imgur.com/FkdfaPh.png[/img] Looking good. |

Hello. I would like to know if you guys have any problems shipping to the U.S and more specifically to Hawaii. I plan on buying around 3 Power packs for the next batch. This will be my first purchase of a miner ever and the rep meter on you guys is skyrocketing. If I could even get some kind of discount on them, maybe even 4 power packs. Thank you.

So, Guy (Spondoolies-Tech CEO) has just dropped by to deliver my sample SP10 – Dawson unit. Ahem... that was FAST! This is certainly one of the most seamless coming to market with an ASIC Rig we have seen to date. If only everyone did it this way eh? Now for customer products let us see how that shakes out. |

Here are some photos of it in operation, right here in my living room:
Any way to measure the power consumption? I'll try. So, I measured the power consumption and it's about 1.3 KW. Also, by putting it on silent and placing it in a structure I have outside of my home itself, the noise levels seem bearable. Might not work as well for people with less flexible real estate. |

Its that noisy? Even you leave it outside of the house can you can still hear it? |

We're working to reduce fans and PSU fans speed. In ambient temperature of 20C, the unit should produce at least 1.4 TH/s with bearable noise level. We're still tweaking the firmware. In addition, we'll offer very competitive hosting plans. The customer will have full control over his/her unit and will be able to decide to ship it at anytime |
