So how are the boards going? Any shipped from the fab? Received any for the 100TH yet? Tested any of the production boards? Any news for us?
A fan power connector or three on the M-board would not be a bad idea....

Before anybody mortgages their house on more boards or cancels their super secret OC board project...you can only tweak clock rate in software by about 3% and it costs you a lot of wattage...
any chance of component tweaks between the august/october kits that might improve the situation? you know, lessons learned, etc..
Surely if we find issues with the current design, we'd consider making some changes. At this point I'm not aware of any intention to add OC features. With 16 boards in a rig, the rPi is using about 40% of its capacity, so its not overstressed either. Maybe we will integrate some fan power...

I really hope someone constructs a little cheap Bitfury powered ASIC, c'mon let us "less fortunate" people get some proper stuff! Im sick of running my screaming gpus for ~1gh
Intron is designing a two-chip USB miner - he posted on Bitfury's thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitfury-is-looking-for-alpha-testers-of-first-chips-free-money-here-228677
Surely someone will make these when the design is done...

For those of you planning a cooling/fan/enclosure system - BitFury reports that the chips have an optimal operating temperature range of 45C - 50C measured on the package. Cool them too much and they actually don't perform as well.
Do you think we need an enclosure of some kind for heat management or will we get by just fine without one? I was planning on just sitting a fan next to it, should it be needed.
This is all Tytus is doing and its working fine, but yes you will want a bit of air movement.
If you clock it up a bit in software, you'll definitely need fans...

if anyone know who own bitfury 2147483 Mhash/s mining on Slush pool.
If I had to guess, it is someone trollin'
Please leave BF boat alone and go back to your Avalon boat please.
I'm already on both boats, and I don't jump ship unless it's on fire. I've done and jumped from BFL's ship long ago.

Stick the test unit in one of these so we can see what it looks like...

Wow thats kind of dissapointing, I was hoping to chuck them outside for the winter. Does the default hardware and/or software allow any overclocking to compensate ?
Keep in mind that putting them out in -5C weather doesn't make the chips run at -5C. They're still generating heat...

Yes, that was the very first prototype board, only a very few
were made. Later H-CARDs have mounting holes.
In fact, only the very first two cards were ordered without mounting holes. were made. Later H-CARDs have mounting holes.
Thanks for the clarification.
