WOOOOOT ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I won ^___^ I didn't see that coming O_o Buying 60 tickets pays off. Apparently it did, indeed ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) It's actually a good thing people in the IRC channel were talking about it, or I might've missed it ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I nearly didn't buy any since the expected return was about half of the cost ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi3.kym-cdn.com%2Fphotos%2Fimages%2Foriginal%2F000%2F162%2F317%2F2vA1a.png&t=665&c=hF1MT7T9DER3jw) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi3.kym-cdn.com%2Fphotos%2Fimages%2Foriginal%2F000%2F162%2F317%2F2vA1a.png&t=665&c=hF1MT7T9DER3jw) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi3.kym-cdn.com%2Fphotos%2Fimages%2Foriginal%2F000%2F162%2F317%2F2vA1a.png&t=665&c=hF1MT7T9DER3jw) (Email is Nuntius.Marii@gmail.com, btw, if you don't believe me.

Here is the rev3 hash monster before being packed up and shipped off. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh4.googleusercontent.com%2F-_cM-zL7GQ3U%2FT6UearXwiSI%2FAAAAAAAAA5E%2FkjMaD2WRECU%2Fs720%2FIMG_0243.JPG&t=665&c=TZR6p3CyOduFQA)

And here it is having just arrived ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7S9mKl.jpg&t=665&c=u49d6bYqB-TJ7Q) It's a revision 3, with the heatpipes and the extra cooling block ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLkFehl.jpg&t=665&c=-PmeuanK2k__7A) Sadly, I can't test it yet: I don't have an adapter for the American plug. The power block itself can run on the voltage here, I just can't connect it. (Unless I would grab my soldering iron ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ) Thanks, gigavps! It's awesome ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I'm sure you already thought of this, but just in case, I thought I might mention a few places to check ...
The power lead from the wall to the plugpack is not uncommon. e.g. Sony items that I have, with the same lead: PS3, PSP charger, PS2, PSOne, BD Player I've also got a few external USB HDD enclosures with the same lead (I used this for mine, I'm in Aus) (and I think even an old VCR I have, has that lead)

Yeah, I found a canon batterypack charger that had it, which I'm using at the moment. Most of the rest of yesterday was bughunting; it seems the thermal paste is not the greatest, and the trip might have had some influence: It's not stable anymore on stock firmware. It seems to run mostly without throttling up to the 816 MHash/sec firmware. I'll put proper thermal paste on it when I have time, and see if that improves things.

I got mine from antirack who decided he had more than he needed ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I also had a similar problem with it throttling when I first set it up. (most likely caused by the courier) In my case I ended up just letting it run overnight and by morning it was OK. (most likely it was the heat sink contact and the heat of running for 8 hours resolved it?) Though, local temperature was ~20C during the day that day, but a lot less that night (and my garage is cooler too since it is underground) and that cool night may also have had something to do with it. Anyway there is a thread about throttling issues that may be helpful: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=78256.0

Thanks. I applied new thermal paste today ( pics), which didn't really help. I then found that the highest-speed firmware actually /does/ work, whereas a lower one doesn't. Weird stuff. It's hashing at a good rate now though, I suppose I should screw everything back together properly ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
