Quality - Meeting, and/or sometimes exceeding, the customer's expectations.

Gosh, why did we work so hard to get them fully working? We could have been selling non-functional boards ages ago!
That would still beat the competition in terms of delivery....
I'd buy halffast boards today over full-fast boards next month
The proto rig is rock-solid after 24 hours of running at the new chip.conf.
These asics are curious critters - if you have a bad chip on a board, software will disable the chip in config. This causes adjacent chips to see a little more power and therefore get a slight overclock. For example most chips are producing around 1.5 - 1.6 GH/s actual nonces. But some chips are at 2.1 GH/s. In this way, even with some duds the full rig is producing 410 - 415GH/s actual accepted shares. Even Slush stats have caught up and show average hashrate over 400G at the pool.
I think this is unique - it seems most mining hardware is rated at a certain hashpower, but true output is typically less than promised.
Better than advertised always sounds good to me.

Aha, so desolder a chip per board sell it for profit.., and still have your full hashing power.
Got it. hehehe

The key is the discount.. No one would pay full price for the broken boards, but if you were going to junk them... Well, for a reasonable average GH/$, they would find happy homes.

I think the moral of the story regarding bad boards is - you are probably able sell boards - H-boards - as fast as you can make them and as many of them as you can make. Even just 10 Gh/s boards....
August 08, 2013, 07:30:09 AM
Hmmmm... thinking about this. The chips seem amazing!

If you are looking for PSU to power up the Full Kit, you should consider using Server PSU's. They are dirt cheap and rock solid :-)
Here is good guide how to use them as an 12V power source: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1292514
It is the path I will take for my 400GH kits.

So Dave... This response to bad boards was what I meant when I joked about there being a market for the boards if they only "added" rather than hashed. Though obviously they would have to hash a little for most people to really want them. Zero hashing boards I think would need a STEEP discount (and an EE degree ).

We all want faulty boards so to save the length of this thread it might be easier if only those who don't want faulty boards say so. :-)
August 08, 2013, 04:42:33 AM
Please count me in for some of the Bad Boards.
August 08, 2013, 02:30:55 AM
Silently following, just want to throw down that I too would be interested in partially faulty boards.
August 08, 2013, 02:14:17 AM
Hmm, of course I'd need an M-board to host it or it'll sit until the October shipment.
Any "naughty" M-boards not up to spec in that batch that just need a little TLC like capacitor swaps or something minor? Had to ask while we're on the subject.

Hi Dave,
Please put me down for a couple of "bad boards" too!
If they even partially hash they're still better than nothing. I used to be a Sr. E-tech & I have access to a full lab that we could hook it up to an o-scope & other fun tools.
