Avalon Nano 3 [unofficial thread]

[philipma1957]

Did a bit more testing over the weekend.
A 130 watt Dell unit (yes I was running it over spec) and a generic 150 watt unit.

And all were within 5 watts at the wall when running this unit at top speed.
135W pull on average bouncing between 135 and 140 depending on what the miner was doing. Did not see anything below 135 for any amount of time and did not see anything above 140.

The temps were also surprisingly all the same after 30 minutes. Figured the Dell would be hotter or trip off since it was being pushed over spec but it was fine.

Guess they all come out of the same factory, just with different labels :-)

-Dave

when and if I ever get it (the miner)  I do have the better dell

 it specs to 165 watts and 28 volts at 5.893a

https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Charger-Adapter-Precision-5-893A/dp/B0CL2LL47R/ref=sr_1_3?



If the better dell is really better it needs to save watts if Dave does 139 watts at full speed and the high end dell does 130 watts you save 9 x 24 = 216 watts a dat and a watt in 5 days. if you have 20 cent power you save 20 cents every 5 days or $14.60 in a year. cost of 30 vs 105 means years before you make that up.


I will post when and if it shows up.

So they have admitted there is a psu issue.
They have admitted they are delayed.

Fucking typical.

Hello all,

have also ordered 2 pieces and will point they as lottery miner to cksolo pool

Color: Midnight Blue
include power supply
Estimated delivery : May 2024

hope they will come fast without any delay

I think a very good alternative to bitaxe miner.

Best regards,
Willi

I also have a May 2024 delivery date.  I went with the black because I read somewhere that they were shipping those out first, but I also received notification that they're waiting on power supplies and some orders may be delayed.  In any event, I'm happy to have a new home miner on the way.  Been missing those sha256 hashes.

I do no have a psu on order.  I deliberatly purchased a higher end psu than stock. Yet they still did not ship the black one to me. They mention a feb date to deliver well it is April and nothing so far.

I am  really disappointed.
no real date.
no tracking number.

well at least I did not buy their psu as a lot of people say it is not a good psu. Frankly using the usb-c means you should no do full speed. as 130-140 wats 24/7/365 will be a mistake.

[willi9974]

Knows anyone a good PSU for that Miner?

The highest price most watt capable if the dell model it is 165watt capable.

I can’t find a higher power rated model.

I own the dell.

my issue is usb-c doing 130-140 watts 24/7/365 is moron.

this should have been a six pin pcie jack.

I advise everyone to not do high speed.

still
looking for a good article on usb-c providing over 140 watts 24/7/365

and if the idiot engineering people gave us a better jack that would be a good psu.

I am not sure if I can find a 240 watt usb-c wire which could hook up to the psu you found.

run the gear on medium and see what you get.

I found a red panda video

direct dell link for the 165 watt that I have

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-usb-c-165-w-gan-ac-adapter-with-1-meter-power-cord-north-america/apd/450-bbwr/pc-accessories

btw no update on my unit which is black without a psu

so they are obviously having shipping and psu issues with this gear.
The should have used this psu

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-74-mm-barrel-330-w-ac-adapter-with-2-meter-power-cord-north-america/apd/450-bbqg/pc-accessories

or this one

this psu would be okay as it has a trim screw

https://ampul.eu/en/switched-power-supply/3327-power-supply-30v-167a-500w

you can drop it to 28 volts.

you just need to wire a high power usb-c cable correctly

Yes, the USB port thing is idiotic for devices that are supposed to run 24/7 under full load...
But for the PSU I suggested you can solder the cable yourself

My tired 67 year old eyes will need to redo this unit with a proper jack.

I have to find that psu you found in  a usa store.  BTW it needs 190 volts to 240 volts so most usa people will not be able to use it.

yes, that's more for the European market.
I quickly found that it seems to support 110v and is probably a dealer from the USA

the one above may be perfect.

I ordered it.

I also got an email from indiegogo saying they are shipping black dated earlier then feb 24 asap.

I am hoping it comes soon. 🔜

I order the adjustable psu above

I also have the dell

I will demo both when I get them.

Well, I think that for this type of equipment, you don't need something as complex as that. Without a doubt, a good power supply is an asset, but it is also not worth having anything more than what is really necessary.

Either way, it's something useful for other uses.

That thing looks like it should be in Doc's garage hooked up to a flux capacitor!  It might be nice to have for future issues with this sort of power supply and getting sick of having different power supplies scattered around your house but seems like overkill to power such a small device.  I guess the question was asked because they aren't sending power supplies immediately or because some ordered without power supplies and need to find an acceptable unit?  Surely it would be better to wait if your psu is just delayed a month, right?

This equipment, despite being small, a PSU with a power of 140W is recommended. A power supply with this power, at a minimally viable price, is not easy to find. In fact, it exists but the prices are not very low - some cost as much as the equipment. That's why even the manufacturer has difficulty with availability.

Typically the PSUs used in laptops or for some of the modern fast charging smartphones already use this type of PSU. But, the price is not that low. Then I understand the reason for investing in more professional equipment.

[philipma1957]

I like gear.

Since I know every desktop miner I ever purchased had a shit psu I figured do not buy the one they were selling.

The high end 165watt dell = $105 is it worth it? Doutbful.

the amazon one with a ton of adjustments is way cheaper. then the dell 59 vs 105

is it needed maybe. what it does do is allow undervolt overvolt and a lot of measurement.

I personally think the decision to go with a usb-c cable was not cool.

I have seen two demos one of an apple 140 watt charger set to medium software says 90 watts meter says 105 watts . and it is hot enough to burn you if you hold it.

the other test is with stock psu it reads 139 watts not sure if that is a meter or a software number and it is 120f to the touch. on high so not that good.

I want to know if the $105 high end dell will be hot and I want to know if it pulls a ton of extra power.

[joker_josue]

I personally think the decision to go with a usb-c cable was not cool.

I also think. For the power required, although there are USB solutions, they are not the most suitable and efficient ones available, nor exactly the cheapest solution. I should have used a DC solution, there are more options on the market and more efficient, for better performance and less underheating.
