@jtoomim One more question about the cooling for my personal knowledge. What you needed more for your super cooling? Money or knowledge? My guts tells me that the "custom" cooling itself didn't cost that much compared to the cost of the full rack filled with SP30 miners, but it's so efficient because of the airflow knowledge that you have. Am I right?
The cooling stuff was not very expensive. There definitely was some secret sauce involved, though. The electrical work was where most of our money went.

Hey,  I think some of those are mine! Neat!
Correct. Yellow labels, I think.

I received my 2 x SP30s yesterday, and installed them in my quiet rack cabinet.

These are impressive units! Definitely the "Big Boys Toys" of the Bitcoin mining world.

I got them all hooked up, and they were up and mining as soon as I logged in and entered my pool details. Damn, that was easy. I hung around for a while watching them, and stressed myself out a little bit when they stopped mining. I should have just walked away and left them to it, knowing that they do a series of performance stress-tests to find the optimimum operating speed before PSU/ASIC failure. Sure enough, they settled down into their optimum groove all by themselves, probably still adjusting as they have only been running about 16 hours so far.

These bad boys are the rockstars of my collection. Hash rate at the pool as at 16 hours:
SP30A 4.5 TH/s
SP30B 4.4 TH/s

On my to-do list:
* Upgrade the firmware to the latest version
* Install the rubber feet. I think this might reduce vibration noise.

In a couple of days if you would be kind enough to tell me how much BTC you average daily, I would be grateful.

no need to wait, you can plug in numbers here and see BTC/day
http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/
4.5Th=0.1147 BTC/day (right now)

erm your only making $52.46 per machine in 24/h
you spend $7790
6000 watts will be alot per day to run
and your expecting to make a profit?HuhHuhHuh??

P.S. Btw do you think you can handle/cool a full rack of SP30s? I know that many people (*cough*jimmothy*cough*) were complaining about the fact that nobody can coll off a rack full of SP10s and you have more power there than a full rack of SP10s and I don't see any problem if you couldn't do it, but I asked just for the fun.
I found the most comfortable place to be (as long as you have earplugs on) is inside the hot aisle, with about half your body in front of the SP30s and half in front of our half-full medium-density rack. That way, you can lean forward to get in the cool airstream if you get too hot, or lean back to take on the SP30 exhaust if you get too cold. Sitting outside the hot aisle in our DC is just too windy and cold to be comfortable.

Most "high density" hosting facilities max out under 10 KW per rack. A rack of SP10s is what, 40 KW, and a rack of SP30s at 60 KW? So yeah, you'll have a real hard time filling a rack of those in a regular facility.

Regular maybe, even though I have a feeling that it's close to doable. Not under optimal conditions, but possible.

Our DC Will be able to handle ~15 per rack, only because they have empty racks to fill

For our phase 3, we're thinking of trying to get around 5 MW of machines running in about 5,000 sq ft. That should be fun.

We're having no trouble with cooling. We should be able to fill that rack without a hitch. If there were something 2x as power dense than an SP30, we should be able to cool that too. I'm a little disappointed with how easy it's been.

I was doing some work on our router/server today, and I found the most comfortable place to be (as long as you have earplugs on) is inside the hot aisle, with about half your body in front of the SP30s and half in front of our half-full medium-density rack. That way, you can lean forward to get in the cool airstream if you get too hot, or lean back to take on the SP30 exhaust if you get too cold. Sitting outside the hot aisle in our DC is just too windy and cold to be comfortable.

From one of the machines inside that rack:

Mining Rate: 4528.75Ghs

Temp Front / Back T,B
21 °C / 63,66 °C

Socket Voltage
251/250 volt

Fan Speed
90

Max Watts
1340 / 1335

Haven't you forgot something?

* Take picture and post it here.

Excuse me for intercepting. Here's a photo of some of our customers' machines. There's 48 kW running in that rack so far, and we only stopped filling it because we ran out of SP30s.

...
Yes, I know we need to clean up those cables. We're still changing the port connectivity around; we'll make it neat when we're done rearranging.

That's what I'm talking about! Great job and since you seem to have run out of SP30s I will e-mail you about hosting another one with you instead of Advania (who usually needs 1 full business days to fulfill my requests).

I received my 2 x SP30s yesterday, and installed them in my quiet rack cabinet.

These are impressive units! Definitely the "Big Boys Toys" of the Bitcoin mining world.

I got them all hooked up, and they were up and mining as soon as I logged in and entered my pool details. Damn, that was easy. I hung around for a while watching them, and stressed myself out a little bit when they stopped mining. I should have just walked away and left them to it, knowing that they do a series of performance stress-tests to find the optimimum operating speed before PSU/ASIC failure. Sure enough, they settled down into their optimum groove all by themselves, probably still adjusting as they have only been running about 16 hours so far.

These bad boys are the rockstars of my collection. Hash rate at the pool as at 16 hours:
SP30A 4.5 TH/s
SP30B 4.4 TH/s

On my to-do list:
* Upgrade the firmware to the latest version
* Install the rubber feet. I think this might reduce vibration noise.

In a couple of days if you would be kind enough to tell me how much BTC you average daily, I would be grateful.

no need to wait, you can plug in numbers here and see BTC/day

Excellent I did update.
So far running well.


Zvisha what goodies are in the SP30 2.3.30 update it is prompting me to install?

Depends on what you have )
I would install, it solves the cold boot bug.
There are a lot of small things, like more threads in httpd.
