[CLOSED]Minion Chip Assembly GB

[sorehammer]

well i got it up to 460ghs but damn did it get warm . I think the one fan mounted in the middle cooling say 1/3 of the board is maybe to small a 200mm one covering a lot more surface may be better, I've allready mounted 2 more fans either side of the 120mm fan cooling the other 2/3rd's of the base heatsink. but if I switch to water cooling I may dip into the overclock once more.

Only 2 boards shipped till now? 4 Weeks after chip arrival now, at least?
Is there anyone that actually got his X1/X3 shipping fee and extra psu they paid for back from Minersource since you converted to chips?

[sorehammer]

I did, got a store credit and got a psu from them, they shipped it straight away can't say any thing bad about them at all

Is that a X1/X3 specific psu?

[sorehammer]

That was the compensation x1 psu and the shipping on the 2 x1's I ordered

[Pistachio]

So how many received their order so far? More than one?

None on my side. Chips arrived July 16. I would rather have working boards than deal with repairs later. Technobit may want to remove the 2-4 weeks time frame from the website and replace it with 6-8 weeks. It is already over five weeks.

[sorehammer]

with the amount of boards they have to do a batch of faulty components was the last thing they needed but I think you will like the end results I'm sure.

[Pistachio]

just for buyers from GB I dropped price to 355$ each board..if anyone wants it,PM me..(payment in BTC with escrow )

These boards are not worth that much at this point. If someone want's to buy boards, I've got 18 I would sell for $250 each. You pay for shipping from technobit.

Edit: I always accept escrow and Technobit should be able to confirm that I have 18 boards on order. I mailed in the chips myself, so transferring to someone else should not be a problem.

Ah, shop credit, of course. Waiting a full month for a cheque now, no response on a ticket after 8 business days, from one bad joke in to......

Pistachio, that's indeed what these are worth by now as they won't make much more, hell 2 diff jumps more and they won't pay the electricity used! I'll be happy if I can sell 5 or 10 locally and repay the lent 3 btc I was short to pay Technobit.
Don't expect receiving in August at all, for the lot of us.

omg,is it possible they are so worthless???this is becoming a nightmare..

[me2014]

they are not?when we take an offer for chips,they worth 500$ at technobit,now they are 250$..they are not worthless but they are becoming fast :/

[sorehammer]

They are worth more than $250 where can you get a 400ghs miner for $250.

[me2014]

even if they were not,10 min ago Pistachio devalued them

[sorehammer]

sellers market you give one price I sell cheaper to shift mine at your expense what more can you say

[Pistachio]

I'm serious about my offer to sell. I am counting on them being worth more to encourage someone to buy them. These delays have been a real headache. This offer provides an opportunity for someone to step in at the end of this delay train and get a good deal.

Did you have the chance to measure power at the wall when the board was running at 460GH/S?

[sorehammer]

no sorry don't have the hardware to do that.

[kea808]

Martin, do you have any specs on the new and improved HEX4M board?  With the board now capable of running at 460GH you must have improved on the board a great deal.

[sorehammer]

Well at stock I'm see up to 425ghs so looks like a well built board

[marto74]

I never said the board can not make more than 400.
It is only that @ 400 it is close to 1W/Ghs
Also there is ususaly a deviation from board to board.
So We just asure you that it will make 400 GHs that is all.
