I have a late May unit, and it's only averaging ~1300 GH/s at the pool (BtcGuild) using the "turbo fans, highest rate" setting. Is there anything I can do to increase performance?

This unit is running in a data center using 208v power, and temperatures are good (27C front, 69C back). I was expecting a bit more, so hopefully there are tweaks I can make to increase performance and this isn't just a low performing unit.

There are some manufacturing difference between each miner.
We can offer you additional miner at a considerable discount.

Anyone found a good set of Rack Ears in the USA for these?

Spondoolies wants $25 per set, and that just seems a tad high.  Standard rack ears on eBay are less than $10 shipped.

The rack ears were designed and manufactured specifically for the SP10
The $25 is mainly to cover shipping costs

Your website has two options for the rack ears:
No Shipping - FREE
DHL air freight + insurance - $193.00

We'll sort it out next week.

Mine at Jonny's Pool
Are you able to completely do a power restart on the SP10 with the web gui? Are you able to do a power restart using the command line interface, if there even is one?

Person who bought mine isn't near the hardware and was asking me if I knew there was a way. Can you even SSH into these?


Also, Spondoolie, congratulations on a great sale with your SP10's.

Not sure what you mean by "power restart"; however, you can reboot the SP-10 directly from the web interface.  Also, you can indeed SSH into the miner.

Run a Bitcoin node.

Data center racks use outside air to keep the servers cool. It would be real cool to have a self cooling data rack with built in silence material to the point where you can't hear anything, even from standing right next to it. Unfortunately this rack could be built and made, but would cost a ton of money.

I woke up at 2am one morning, walked into my office and just yanked the power cord to my SP10. Just not designed for home use. Those are high-end enterprise fans in those rigs and good quality power supplies too. No matter where you put one of those miners, you'll always hear that whining noise the fans make, and it will slowly make you go crazy. Smiley That's why I had to sell mine. I didn't want to believe a miner advertised for home (right off the home page) could be that loud. Hey, my mistake. Live and learn. It also reminded me one of those gas blower heaters you put in your garage in the winter. My room temperature went up to 107 degrees while it was 65 degrees outside. Once I saw that I knew I had to sell them because summer is coming and when it hits that 95 degrees everyday, there's no way to keep any of those miners cool in a home, unless you have commercial cooling products installed. Good luck, and lets see some pictures!!!!!



Found some stuff online, but as I do not have prior experience with soundproofing, would like some one to give me a hint, which way to look.

Example 28.5dB(A) sound reduction and 7.2KW heat dissipation - $3657 for 12U space would it be enough to fit 4 SP10? Would it work as advertised?

Info is about: UCoustic™ 9210 Range of 19" Soundproof Rackmount Cabinets with Thermostatic Cooling

Thanks!
The UCoustic™ 9210 rack cabinets are amazing. I have two of the 24U active model. I can't hear my SP10.

Does firmware update not update image? How do you check your version?

You just need to login to UI, and go to "Firmware Upgrade" page. It will both show the currently installed version, and the latest available one.

From there, just a single click needed to upgrade to the latest firmware version.

We're selling the SP10s very fast now
At this rate, we'll sell all the units we produced in May in the following week.

We've temporarily stopped accepting new hosting requests, until we'll finish out data center enhancements and expanding work.

June batch production will start around the 10th

Guy

Congratz! That is great news!

well done Guy... (if carlsberg did mining rigs...)

Meanwhile... http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth.png

1% growth is still growth... but it can't go on forever.

Well here are 2: http://www.kellsystems.com/ and http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/ucoustic_active.asp But I find them too expensive for just one miner. It's cheaper to colocate them in a professional DC which can provide better cooling and better service overall. Depending on you continent you can get very good rates. There is a thread started by QC in the Mining forum for some rates https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hw-hosting-directory-reputation-622998

It's a matter of power usage and from the lack of info on the WebHostingTalk forum. There the power isn't mentioned and typical 1U servers need just around 300W-400W to run. Quotes from DataCenters include only a limited amount of power per U space. Bitcoin miners are unusual when it comes to this because they need A LOT of power compared to regular servers.

Thanks for the hosting link, I'll think about that too, but I am planning to utilize some solar power, so would like to have the miners at my place Smiley

Can someone please recommend a good noise-cancelling server rack, which will be able to handle the heat and power for SP10? I am considering to buy some, need to figure out, how to handle that noise Smiley

Thanks in advance!

Cheers.

Just noticed that on the WebHostingTalk forum the price is only $50/month and here it is $150/month. I know I'm missing something.

So in short, it  was just a mistake?
Thanks!


No. Different offers. The 50$ one has included less power usage. It's not mentioned, but believe me(you are free to send them an inquiry).
