Unofficial Spondoolies SP20 thread

[Exoskeleton]

Can't you just disable the chip in the web interface under settings - HW Control - ASIC Control Panel?

Disable can, but I want to insure. Unsolder input inductor, I'll be pretty sure that the voltage does not go to this part of the board.

good luck as you like running hot.  I don't have much advice for you as I ran slower when I had mine.

I run most of mine at 1,350Ghs and the worst performers at 1,250Ghs and they run great. I did down clock them this summer but now that they get 30-40F temps all day I like to keep them running in this range. In a few months if the diff goes full retard I am going to bring them down to ~900Ghs at ~350W at the wall to keep them very profitable.

you sure your PSU can handle 288/ 288 /288 /288 ?

this is an extreme setup... we do not recommend it. Try at lower spec .... like 200 / 200 / 200 / 200 and make sure your PSU can handle 800 watt ( minimun 1000 watt PSU => 80% rules)

Are you running the 2000 watt PSU on a 220/240 connection?  Is there any chance you are running off 110.

Just trying to think of things that might limit a server PSU like it sounds like your using.  And 110 would limit it for sure.

How many people are still running the SP20?  Love them but need more efficient models

[Sweminer777]

How many people are still running the SP20?  Love them but need more efficient models

sold mine,

Was dooing 1.6thz at around 1350w , now using antminer s5s only.



Still sp20 is a great machine, only issue is that it draws to much power.

How many people are still running the SP20?  Love them but need more efficient models

I got four running at my home.

They are nice hardware to play with.

They were state of the art when launched. Right now the max efficiency i get is 2.2GH/s per Watt at wall using 80Plus Gold PSU. At this efficiency the speed per device is around 850GH/s.
edit: corrected the efficiency

It can't be 2w per gh

you mean 0.22w per gh ?

I think you must have the Watts and GH ratio switched. Using the 2.2 W/GH and 850 GH, that would mean a power draw of well over 1800 Watts. That just makes zero sense for an SP20. At 850 GH, what is the power draw in watts?

Is it possible that it's really 2.2 GH/W?

[QuintLeo]

 Depends on how hard you push it, it can be MORE efficient than an S5 if you undervolt it enough - but then the hashrate drops to S5 territory or less.


 2.2 GHs/watt sounds reasonable for a Sp20 undervolted to .605 or so.

 Mine did 864GH at .600 volts / 400 wall watts or 1038GH / .610v / 507 ww during my early testing of it on a Seasonic X-1250 (Gold) PS.

 Currently pushing around 1450 Ghs / 0.670 / 900ish watts (I've got the power limits set a bit lower on 2 of the loops that tend to run hotter).

[Exoskeleton]

The SP20s were amazing units, probably the most quality miner we've ever had or will have considering all factors like build quality, case, reliability, scalability, ect. Picking them up for $330 each, shipped, one year ago was probably the smartest move I've ever made with mining. I had to go into debt to get the $15,000 for the deal, and I normally would never do this and strongly advise against it. But this time it worked out big time.

Whats always been crazy to me is if they had stated the stock mining speed as something like 800Ghs with the ability to do extreme overclocking they could have advertised a 0.35W/Ghs or so efficiency. Considering that a Bitmain S7 gets 0.25-0.30W/Ghs it makes the SP20 way ahead of its time. Also consider the fact that you could have bought 5 SP20 units for $1,660 a year ago and run them at 800Ghs, for a total of 4,000Ghs at an efficiency equal to an Avalon 6 and almost to a S7, and you have it right there.

I think these SP20s were sold at a loss or so I heard. It explains why they never did another batch despite demand. They still go for over $400 each on the open market, and for good reason. These things run like tanks and failure rate is almost non existent. I can't say enough about the quality of these units and Im sad to say I don't think spondoolies can or will ever follow up with a miner of this quality at a competitive price in this market. I would LOVE for them to prove me wrong though.
