The SP30 comes with 2 cables for power, but not the ones that you plug into your socket. They are only an extension that goes between the power cord and the PSU. You still need to provide 2 PSU power cords.

It's about being datacenter ready .. so these TWO cables plug OK in a PDU.

Commonly used for data servers, this power cable has a C14 and a C19 connector.  The C19 connector is commonly found on servers while the C14 is found on power distribution units.
Features:
Length - 3 Feet
Connector 1 - IEC C14 (inlet)
Connector 2 - IEC C19 (outlet)
15 Amps 250 Volt rating
SJT Jacket
14 AWG
Certification: UL Listed, RoHS Compliant

The fault of not providing the correct power cables is not with the colo, it with the supplier of the equipment.

The C14 male and female is fairly common I would be surprised if they didn't have them, but the C19 usually comes on only really high end servers and things like massive switches and UPS's PSU's

Never blamed the DC for not having cables. I was just trying to find a backup plan/solution for the missing cable not provided by the manufacturer Smiley


Oh I asked all right, hoped they would take then ones I had to ship as replacements if they had been able to lend me some.

Yeah I know they come with C14 to C19 cables for plugging into PDU's.

Problem is I found out that that only sent one cable with each SP30 instead of two, which means I'm running half speed till I can get Amazon to deliver to the datacenter on Monday. Sad

Care to share where are you hosting them? A DC should have all sort of cables around. I think they are required by their internal rules for safety reasons.

This. We went right from Miner > PDU.

Did we ascertain whether the SP30's come with zero, one or two power cables?

Yeah, isn't it crazy. This year is very strange: ~70 fold difficulty increase since last November, but more than 50% BTC price decrease.
I would have never guessed that this would be the case. I don't think that this dichotomy can continue much longer, but who knows.

this!   a shakeout is in progress.

Its my article and I pester them a bunch for info on stuff.  They were good enough to allow me to break the story first and I appreciate it so much.
I really do like the the SP20 as it does fill the gap in the miner realm right now.  Adding in they are talking a few week ship time as opposed to months and months this is a great choice.  Smiley


great sleuthing

well ...looks like us home miner types yelling on here about noise/elec use etc were listened to I'm shocked.......no asic company ever listened before

(have to sit down...world is tilting)

Searing

p.s. bet the price point is $1500 usd at best imho......still tough to justify at these BTC prices and 15c kwh in my case
... and the difficulty being completely nuts...imho they should be priced at end of Oct time line at
around $1000 usd....even then tough to make ROI but at least conceivable? maybe? kinda sorta?

But hell I might even pay the extra $500 usd over the $1000 to mine with the beast .just to decentralize BTC (take that KNC my 1.7TH will put a dent in your profits by golly!)
and WTF I have no life....so again nice whirly noises...pretty LCD's and winter is coming...there it is ..thats the ticket...it is a HEATER we need someone
good at math to prove to me that at 15c/kwh I can bank money back on this beastie with costs/elec figured in...yea..ROI via HEAT (man am I grasping
at straws or what)

(delusion is a foul fiend that follows home miners everywhere don't ya know)

ah....another hopeless ROI guest......my life is now again as normal as it ever gets........some people gamble some people get home miners
it is all the same.....keeps us in line placid and in worker drone mode......(off to get a lottery ticket)

Kinda complicated to read but:

http://www.mhi-inc.com/Converter/watt_calculator.htm

1000 watts in 24hrs=81950 BTU.

@ 12,000 btu per 1 ton of A/C=6.82 tons (seems kinda high IMO,something is off  Roll Eyes   )  At that rate you could heat a 1500 sq ft home quite well....maybe not in snow country  Cheesy

Or:

http://rapidtables.com/convert/power/Watt_to_BTU.htm

I don't think that you have correct math because you multiplied by 24hr.
Correct number is 1000W=3412 BTU/hr
http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/Watt_to_BTU.htm
One ton of A/C removes 12000 BTU in an hour, hence ONLY 0.28 tons of A/C is needed for 1000W
If 6.82 tons were needed, my house would be at the outside temp of 100F

Most of the noise was coming from the PSU fans anyway. If they don't ship the PSU with the new design, that noise is yours!

Quoted in part:
Spondoolies-Tech is releasing a new miner named the SP20-Jackson that will start shipping in October.

Specifications as of press time:
Hash Rate: 1.7 th/s +/- 5%, Over Clockable to 1.8 th/s, 8 ASIC Chips
Power Consumption: 1100 watts at the wall with a Gold rated, 90% efficiency PSU suggested
Power connections: 4x PCIe
Smaller Form Factor 1/3 size of the SP30, 60dB or less estimated

What I like a lot is 60dB or less! By comparison sp-10 is at 80 decibel
Decibel Levels of Common Sounds:

SP10  Farfegnugen
SP20  Farfegnugen
SP30  Farfegnugen
SP31  Farfegnugen
SPXX  Farfegnugen

Whichever you choose pure "driving pleasure".

I'll do a Kim Dotcom and make a custom "SP3000 Turbo" sticker for my SP30.

Can I get a few for my SP30's?
