I did both, R01F is now 3K3R. I tried 3k57R but the regulator kept going into thermal shutdown even with heatsink and fan

This particular board is a bit of a freak, the most I've gotten out of my other boards is ~34GH/s with the same mods.

   R01F change to 3k3R

Wow cool - did you change R01F or just add the heatsinks?  If you changed R01F what value did you use?

and now its gone... hmmmmm makes you wonder.

A new personal personal best  

Check this out and from 330pm gmt-6 to 630pm gmt-6 it grown over 3,500gh/s
as of 630pm gmt-6 was at 48,920.94 gh/s

how do we know we have not been forgotten?   I have 5 starter kits for august ordered. 

Yep.  Once the magic smoke gets out, it's all over...

For those that are curious, one of the chips on the MB lit up like a white LED and then poof, a puff of smoke. I doubt that anything else was damaged, but i won't know for sure until i get another MB.

no, just the one card starter kit.

Did you buy the whole 16 Hcards  400GHz kit?

Please send an email to customer service about this issue:

Dave won't be able to respond to anything until at least Monday, and probably a few days after that.

While I don't know that MBP can yet offer Amazon-level customer service / replacement policies, I'm certain there's something we can do here.  Unfortunately this happened right when we are in the midst of an M-board shortage, so it may require a little discussion on what we can do for you.

If you don't get a prompt response, or if you don't feel like things were handled fairly/appropriately, send Dave or I a PM and we will follow up.  We do take customer service seriously, despite our overwhelmed schedule.

As a side note, speaking not from a MBP perspective but from a JaredR26 perspective, I recommend you see if you can find someone in your area who also has a starter kit.  If the thing that was fried was the rPI or the SD card, that is the easiest and cheapest component to replace- We can probably overnight you one.  If it was the H-card, but your M-board is functioning, those are somewhat easier to replace than M-boards right now.  If it was the M-board only, that'll be useful information.  If everything was fried, that'll also be useful information.

I do apologize for this situation- While we tried to avoid mistakes like this happening, the simple truth is that an early-design product like this isn't designed to be user-friendly and user-safe.  For that I do apologize, and we hope that we can help with this situation, and improve future designs to prevent this kind of bad experience.

I think Goxed has another M- Board that he does not need.  When I get my kits I may have an extra one too.

I want to wait to hear from Dave before i make any hasty decissions.

I have seen unused m-boards in the goods section as well as on ebay. Might be faster to get you up and running again.

You guys are awesome. Kudos Dave, Jared, and the rest of the team. October is going to be Christmas for me. #45x

FYI, from our experience the boards that deliver 30 GH/s without being overclocked first are a fluke rather than the norm.  The average of the boards performs right at spec, with some performing under spec(We generally don't ship those out).  I do apologize for the delay, though.  For what it is worth, having it hash 2-3 days sooner at a lower difficulty and delaying your shipping time until the difficulty is higher does actually have some significant benefits.

I can't help with the other questions at this time, I'm not yet privy to that side of things; You'll have to follow up with customer service / support.

 I imagine they would ship separately; I have an October order 5xx and another 9xx order, and it would not seem fair to me to ship the 9xx order along with the 5xx order.

 My 0.02 BTC FWIW.

Shit! Shit! Shit!!!    Hey DAVE!!!!

I just powered up with the Yellow & Black reversed and smoked the mother board, How screwed am I? How much is this going to cost me for a new motherboard? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Never let the software guy touch hardware!

it does

however, I really want my unit as soon as possible, as it looks like a lot of other customers are managing to pull >30Ghash from their starter kits, and as much as i appreciate the free hosting of 25Ghash, it would be  something special to have my unit in hand hashing at that speed or higher. It may be the end of september when the unit is actually delivered.

That said, Dave and his team have done the best they could, and more then many other manufacturers/distributors. too bad for a slight shortage of m-boards, because otherwise they have my full kudos!

ps: I have an october h-board #13X and another (unpaid) #8XX. Will these ship together, and/or will either of them ship along with my starter kit once the m-boards deliver? I know the october timeframe is still fairly uncertain, but it may make practical sense to combine the shipping costs to canada for these.
