does will marto contact us before shipping so we could change or confirm shipping address and make a deal about payment method..?

Have you made a account on Technobit's website with the preferred delivery address chap to aid Marto in getting the right delivery location when he contacts us for paying for the shipping.

[me2014]

yes I did but I am wrote that I am not sure yet about destination and told him to contact me before shipping..so I am wondering does he will do it..

[sorehammer]

We are in production of th first batch.
A day or two before shipping you will be contacted to sort transport and stuff.

He said he would so lets wait

kk,didnt see that..thanks m8

[nexus99]

should be a little less than 2 weeks now.

[sorehammer]

yesterday was the first but I'm happy that the light is at the end of the tunnel at last

Me too. I am happy to have 4 B2 X-1s turn into 3 boards.

[sorehammer]

I just wish I'd had more cash to get at least 1 more board may get one of those 600ghs ones though.

[y_boonstra]

Bob,

any word yet on the B2 chip conversion to Technobit?
I would like to have 2 chips from sorehammers account to mine for my B2 chips..

Sorehammer can you confirm this to ?

Good luck in HK

[y_boonstra]

Im sure we will start mining before B1 direct BA costumers will get their miners..

Its a big shame on BA if this will become reality

[sorehammer]

Bobsag3 I have sent you a pm about transferring my last 2 chips to y_boonstra, Cheers and good luck in HK.

Hi, could we get precise information on board dimensions and component placements? (at least the asics).

I am going to watercool them and if I know the measures with precission I would have a lot in fittings and use soldered copper pipe that I already have and just 2 fittings per board.

Also it would help for making cases/stacking them/planning the space needed.


Thanks.

A decent hires top down photo with camera close to 90 degree above board, and a ruler laid over two asics could do it. Camera as high as possible and use zoom to reduce parallax.

All board dimensions could then be derived to ~mm accuracy in a paint program.

P.S. I'm impressed with your ( get it done ) watercool plan. If I didn't have all my fans on hand I would consider doing the same, I would probably buy $10 copper waterblocks on ebay though ($480  ) as I only have a hand drill. And then hit up a junk yard for radiator and hoses.

With thick hoses through a window (or multiple thin through wall holes) you could run the radiator outside in shade in the summer (completely silent rig) and bring it inside in the winter, hmmm very nice!

Nothing new about mineral oil cooling computers. You dont even have to submerge the components to take advantage of the cooling effect. You just have to have it flow over top of what you are cooling.

Bob.

Any word about my batch 2 chip conversion yet?

[sorehammer]

When does batch 2  close.

[MoneyMuscles]

ditto, I feel batch one went through on a timely manner but batch 2 is taking much longer....


Maybe its just a lack of updates

Is someone planning to mineral oil cool a HEX4M?

That would not be sensible, the only advantage of mineral oil cooling is that you don't need to make cooler blocks, you can stick whole board in because oil remains non conductive. I think most people do it for gimmick aesthetic reasons ( fish tank setup with lights etc )

With constant 400W for each board you would need a large oil volume or you would need to employ a radiator/fan/pump setup and so are back into plumbing, may as well employ blocks then and just use water.

 Actually, your wrong. First off you still want a block to make the heat dissipation larger.

 Second a pump aint shit, just move the fluid consistently.

 A car radiator with an adequate fan can more efficiently cool. If the shroud is setup right. It can easily run in 90-95 Fahrenheit so long as the pump and fan are working their ass off.

 Hell in a small situation, just go get a motorcycle radiator. Depends on the needs totally.

 Watercooling would not be efficient. You would have to engineer over half the parts, and if you did so....

 Let me put it this way, there is no way in hell I would waste my time doing this as I could have made more money simply trading!

 Dunk em. It's easy.

 But to answer it mildly. Yes I will be testing 5. I realize I lose warranty on them, and will start slowly to see what is needed. I already have the tank. Just a matter of dunking them, and watching temps, and how much heat they moving.

 I am by no means an engineer, but this aint my first rodeo.

@scrappy do

No worries, good luck with it, it sounds messy, but I've read a dishwasher works wonders when you pull boards out.

So your plan is: Immerse 5 boards with passive finned blocks on chips in mineral oil and then have 2 pipes with pump leading to the tank. Pipes going through an auto radiator/fan?



About watercooling: if you buy square copper waterblocks, they are universal, can fit on any chip now and in the future. The blocks are the only difficult part. The rest is Vinyl tube -> solvent welded PVC pipe manifold -> rubber auto hose -> radiator/fan.
