that's the raskul household set for winter ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) it's been a while getting here, but here's the last part of my SP20 'vacation' ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Okay, by now I know how you convinced your wife to leave the SP20 in the apartment... calling Fleurop right now... fan settings are at 40 and it's not a great problem. yes, i can hear it, but not over the volume of the television. as phillipma explained in his unofficial thread... this miner will run profitable vs electric costs until diff hits ~120billion. I should also say, i'm am astounded by the shipping time. from door-to-door in under 24 hours (19hours exactly) i made a blog post http://rgsneddon.thescribe.eu/#post115in short. for me, Spondoolies have nailed it. I also run a couple of S3's but you can't really beat the efficiency of the SP20 miner. I may sell on my S3's and buy more SP20's just as phillipma is doing.

Trust me, I hear you loud and clear. I'm stuck dealing with bitmain right now, for compensation and an rma for my latest S4 that came with a dead hash board. Dealing with them is horrible, like pulling teeth. I've got 4 other just about perfectly working S4s, though, and I can't really complain about them since their issues have mostly been resolved. Still a few bugs to squash and they'll be solid.
At the end of the day, ROI is still king though. I can get 8.8 TH/s for 200$ more if I go with S4s, vs 4.9 TH/s.
I really don't mean to thread shit SP, and I hope that's not how this is coming across. I'm legitimately trying to justify an SP31 and I'm hoping for someone to weigh in. It won't take much to be honest, if only to treat myself to the crème de la crème of Bitcoin hardware.
What's an 8.8 Ths gonna do you if they are not hashing? Go with Spondoolies you can't go wrong.

Good price and good power consumption of SP20 - imho it's better then S4 and Prisma Guys, do you plan to open cloud mining service or own hosting service? I had bad experience with one of you hosting-partners, so don't want to repeat a mistake. Shipping fees and electricity price make me sad ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) with whom have you had bad experience? With Minersource, I had misunderstanding with them. Nothing seriously, but for me is better when one company sell miners and then offers hosting services. Or cloud mining, I don't see any problems. If you trust Spondoolies-miner developer, why don't trust Spondoolies-cloud service? Cloud-phobia?

Can you please let me know if there is a manual workaround I can apply to get my SP10 working under 0c? I'm down for almost 2 weeks now and hope there is a solution other than selling the gear.
Lurker here ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) also from Canada thought I would chime in. You need to be a bit more reasonable with electronics outdoors methinks. Other than Panasonic Toughbooks operating at -18 outside, not much else. However I ran a 4 GPU mining rig outside last December in -25! most of the winter. But I gave it a chance. This outside on a patio exposed not even in a garage. I covered the rig with a large cardboard box and modified that (vents / fans) to give the rig a chance to warm up and operate. I would suggest you do or try the same; improve the miners immediate surrounds with such a carton or cardboard box, or even some a/c venting or tubing from the exhaust around to the intake to let it take in some warm air. A quick check of that miner's PSU operating temp. states -10 C upwards. That may be your issue. Try a shipping carton, cardboard box over the miner then monitor the running temps of that enclosure once up and running and modify that. -17 bare exposed electronics like even warming up your car sitting overnight in those types of temps will always be difficult regardless of software / firmware other updates. Good luck! It is a software issue in this case, most likely for self preservation as it turns off exactly when ambient intake hits 0. It is in a garage but it is not insulated. I like your suggestion of routing the exhaust to the intake, going to give this a try. I had my GPU rigs and S1's running in there last winter up to -30 no problems. Fired up one of them to test and they run rock solid i the cold, 2 bad about the energy consumption though.

Just pulled the trigger on a SP20, have a Corsair AX1500i on stand-by. That corsair will do just fine mate. I'm using an EVGA 1600 80+ gold and it's got LOADS of headroom, i could probably run 2x SP20 with it underclocked. i think it fits right in here at home. My SP10's are in a datacentre and i feel no need to send the SP20 there. Maybe in spring next year i will, this thing has totally added warmth to the entire downstairs of my flat ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Mine's running 22 °C / 73,76 °C .. found some heated environment for it.

hoots mon! yer gettin a bit personal there noo are ye no!? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Yeah, it's the best situ for all my miners, i call it renewable heating - cold into hot! Good luck with that setup other than taking pictures :p I moved my SP10 inside until support finally responds to my inquiries about low intake temps. I've got my fans set to 40 and it's still worse than nails on a chalkboard ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Well, it'll most likely get down below 0 celcius here in the winter so i'll report back if anything goes awry with it in the cold. never had a problem with any other miners on that windowsill so we'll see how the SP20 fares when it gets exceedingly cold. the town in which I live is normally the coldest part of the region, as we are on the side of the hills, with a valley which runs out towards Edinburgh. it's beautiful, but I wish it wouldn't get so cold sometimes. Edinburgh is only 10 miles away and in winter we can see a difference of up to 7 or 8degrees C between here and there.

No 1600W PSU will 24/7 ~2150W. indeed, which would be; of course, the case if I were running at full clock. maybe you missed the bit from the other thread by Phil, where we have downclocked, SP20 running at 746w ~1.35TH/s perhaps you are correct though, it may spike on occasion and if this was the case, a bigger PSU would be required to handle this, with extra headroom. it is acknowledged that wattage from the wall is very rarely constant, even if SP-Tech rigs are the most stable and best with regards to power-draw consistency.

right now my 1 machine is doing 1368gh using 840 watts at the plug this is 0.61 ---- in a warm room my 746 -- 1350 numbers or 0.55 can be achieved but you sometimes have restart troubles at those settings. when my second machine comes I will try to run 2 units on my evga 1600 p2 but I think it may be just short of being able to do it. Dogie would have been more accurate with 1.8 machines if you can get a server hp 2000 psu it will run 2 of these no issues. if you have 220 volts even easier
