ouch! ouch! ouch!

I don't suppose any of those could be 'salvaged'          heh can see ebay already..cheap sp10's!

What a mess!!! My litle farm didn't have fire protection neither..

@CowboyMiner - HOW could you spend millions on hardware and then hire GUARANTEED fuck ups to (pretend) to watch over it for you???

I am not answering for Cowboy miner but I will give you a little insight into Thailand economics. I live in Bangkok and the minimum wage here is 300 baht (about US$9.50) per day for up to a 12 hour shift. More often than not, employers will also require their employees work six day weeks. I don't know about the specifics of this operation, but the types of jobs the "fuck up" had probably paid close to the low end. So they make about $57.00 a week. Not much incentive to do a good job or care about your job. Often you go into a business that has too many employees, because they got them cheap, and they are all useless. I always advocate paying fewer employees more money so they care about keeping their job. Many foreign employers also believe this, so maybe Cowboy Miner's operation paid better? My question is why invest all that money and not have insurance? Thailand does have quite a few reputable insurance companies.

[opentoe]

What if he investigates and finds out that the cause of the fire was from one of the mining rigs? I'm sure if you have that much money invested and it all burns down on you there will be a professional investigation on how it started, right?

I'll guess electrical.

[Marvell1]

wow so I got my SP 30 and the boards fell on top of each other ! don't know if it was in shipping or whenever I have a bad feeling this thing is DOA

I guess now I have to take it apart and restack the boards I'll post more pics in a few

[opentoe]

The guards where only for the entrances not for inside the buildings. The staff for the computers where sadly sleeping this time. 1 push on the central power station would have stopped the fire. But no one has pushed it. Anyway it's done now. Let's leave it.

Are you poor now, living in the street? You basically lost millions, right? Please let us know after the investigation of the fire how it started. We are all curious.

[opentoe]

True when they called about the fire. I can see in the miner stats that the fire was already 1 hour going. So they where all sleeping ;-).  and stupid me trusted them with all this equipment. That's my big mistake. But again, I can't turn back time. No one hurt and a lesson learned.

Man, you are VERY passive for losing a ton of money and profit. You must be some rich kid playing with mom's money or never earned the money yourself? Usually when you earn money and lose it, it hurts a lot more then when just given to you.

last picture, inspect the right top side

[spacelab]

well, i cant complain about beer getting spilled on my motherboard after seeing this 

[Marvell1]

last picture, inspect the right top side

what do you see ?

I'm bout to fire this bad boy up should I not ?

[mavericklm]

ripped off corner...
inspect the boards for scratches, loose condensers or other components!!!

[Marvell1]

Yeah I see it now , didn't se any more scratches but I think this thing is DOA, fan starts stops starts stops

[wh00per]

Never had this problem with the Sp30 However I am hashing only 760GH with the SP20.  EVGA 1300 Watt PSU.  I am at my home with 110V was firing it up before I went down to my shop.  I have 240V there.  Any Sugestions?  Loop 2 is dead.

Drop your max limit to 285, i had te same shit 4-5 times until i dropped the limit. seems the learning cycle isnt as potent as the SP30 one for some reason.

And if it still does it after, drop it lower until it does not. Some SP30 are like that too, I have one of them.

[stan258]

Thank you both will try in a bit.

[jjdub7]

The SP30s in the facility ran for over 2 months without an issue.

The builder stated the following:

Temp was super good. Sp30 did not even get hot.
Just something from the outside.
No insurance at all.

Below is picture of the buildup before the fire.
 

Don't most servers run for many, many months without an issue?  Oops

Most Servers aren't stacked like it's a Black Friday special at Best Buy

[Marvell1]

Well looks like I have  a unite with broken Asics guess I should have took cash compensation.  What is the RMA process anyways

NM color me a technican I somehow got it working gona seal this back up and see how it hashes.

** I played around in the asic setting area on the admin page btw : disabled all then enabled again , don't know if that did it tho ***

[Guy Corem]

We found out that dropping the SP20 package may cause the boards to shift.

We got complaints from about 2% of non palletes customers. Most of the units can be fixed at home by replacing the boards.

We halt individual package shipments for one week, until we'll solve the issue.

If you got such SP20, contact support@ for miner assembly guide. If the SP20 was actually damaged, we'll RMA.

Thats a ballsy statement that I extremely doubt is the truth. An operation of this scale and design is certainly not the first iteration of mining farm, and its likely built entirely from the profits of previous mining (maybe as far back as GPU?)

You win some, you lose some. Its unfortunate that this was such a loss this time

[cowboyminer]

Correct Klondike. And about the loss, it's no use crying over spilled milk.

The workers where not low paid. They got 3 to 4 times normal Thai salary.
