They're not wrong when they say SP31 is the worlds most efficient miner right enough  

I know, I'm wondering if with 208V max, whether I shouldn't bother with the SP35, yes I may get 5TH but is it worth $200 extra if my power delivery can't drive it at the higher level.

haha but there are always people like me who want the biggest number of hashes and don't care how they get it

I think that maybe you are underclocking it too much. When we first got the SP20's they came with the Watts setting at 166 and they wouldn't stay up for more than a few minutes. When zvi told us we should push the watts up to 288 then everything worked great, but now people are tweaking them lower and lower you are approaching the point where the boards aren't getting enough power perhaps.

I see, but i´m trying to have 1x750w corsair psu running for 1 item, difficult to find the right settings

 bump all  4  starting volts by 0.002
 bump max volts by 0.002

 bump all 4  watts by 5

  they are like gpu cards were for btc mining .

 the minimum you can do changes a bit the first week

I had an interesting experience with Sp20.
Somehow Roomba got into the 'mining' room and yanked the power cable out enough for a power interruption.
I reconnected the cable,  switched the machine PSU back on and observed dreaded blinking yellow light for 5 min.
I powercycled the PSU, again blinking yellow light; left the machine back on for 10min, no go, myminer.io shows nothing.
Suddenly, after a good 15 min-sudden roar of a "happy" SP20 and myminer.io got it.

The point of this long post is: don't rush to judge that it's dead after a power surge or an accidental power loss and start flashing SD card, etc.
It can come back to "life" by itself (with the help of clever engineering on Sponds side, no doubt).
Small addition: i reserved IP address using SP20 MAC address beforehand (maybe this mattered.

A cleaning robot, most likely.

Can someone do a sound meter check on their SP20 in their home? Not in a garage or warehouse? I'm trying to figure out the acoustic situation they will bring down on me and figuring ways to avoid that if I bite. Here's one of my AntMiner C1's hashing 1005TH/s. I actually have two in the same room and don't notice they are there, but of course rather have Spondoolie's if the prices are right.

Thanks.


I was about a foot away or less when doing this measurement.

Thats at 80% fan.

Thank you.

folks have been asking me about renting out SP20's on rental sites...

please see short guide here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=894826.msg9849580#msg9849580

I still dont understand why people would rent equipment that costs  more to rent than the btc it mines?

Owners who enjoy the hobby and actually have and own the equipment are different.

You'd be surprised how many obsessed miners run right on the edge and barely make more than what they pay out. I went over all my numbers last night and I'm doing it right now. I have over 9 TH/s spread out. Some co-located, some home, some elsewhere. And when the month is all over (using today's numbers) I'm just making enough to pay for the fees, electric and associated costs. And I've been mining for quite some time, so I'm dumbfounded how new miners are doing it. God bless 'em.

Yeah, I've owned a couple iterations over the years and they were always more toys than anything else.  When they design one that can empty it's own bin, I'll reconsider the purchase.  The same company builds mil-spec bomb removal robots too!

My Sp 20 is disconnecting/ stopping mining for no reason. I have 1300PSU platinum going and it keeps knocking itself offline. The fan is still running so the only way I can tell is when I log into it, which I can't do at that point. I log into my stats page on eligius and I can see I am zero hashing. If I reboot PSU then it comes back on. Seems to be happening between every 4 and 24 hours. Is anyone else having this issue?
I have reset to factory and now trying to run. we will see how this goes.

lower your watts setting to 250 and drop the  all the volts by .005

you are taxing the psu.

 My seasonic  1200 strains to run this  and I have to use lower settings then my evga 1300's

PS: I'm running mine on a pair of CX750's though and have been having this issue too... any suggestions/advice?

well my thread has tests for 5 sp20's  they are more like 1400 to 1500gh.  

Unless you can stand the noise and have really cold air. Since all 5 are in my garage directly under my bedroom. I have no choice but to do massive under clocking.
1350gh

I can say that these are not a 1700gh miner do -10%

 which is  1530gh  work from there.

5 SP20's right under your bedroom. You MUST live alone? I have an attached garage, which I tried my SP10 in and still couldn't keep it there from those high pitch fans. Then you wouldn't believe what happened. My good friend brought over his 2 SP10's and told me to go into the house, while he was in the garage. I heard him start up his SP10's then turn then off. He called for me to come out into the garage and low and behold the 2 SP10's were running! He made this audio box, same width size of the SP10. Has a bunch of what looked like speakers to me installed in it and the box was connected to some control with a few knobs on it. He turned one of the knobs slowly and the sound started to get louder and louder. I know nothing about frequencies or audio waves, but all the box does is cancel out all the audio/frequency waves from the miners. Not sure how it works, but since he wants to sell them, he wouldn't let me take a picture. Trust me, it was just a plain wood box with many different sized speakers I think. He said he has a few versions he's working with and making them variable tuning so the timing and frequencies aren't tied to one miner rig. Which would be impossible anyway, maybe our ears think they all sound the same, technically they are not. He was showing me all this on some meter be brought over. When he sells them he said he would make a post here with a youtube video. I don't know any of the details.
