I don't want to nag on Syscooling, but one of my Dads pump is starting to fail and it has only been running 8 hours. Making a real loud screeching sound. Bitmain, please speak with Syscooling who is killing the C1 with the cooling system. I'm actually looking to buy other more reliable pumps from frozencpu.com so my C1 won't blow on me or die prematurely. I'm really disturbed by the situation with the bad harness and low quality pump.

im scared to death to get this thing now. im never going to be able to leave it for more then a few hrs... if that... Man I wish I could just get my account credited towards an s4 or something.

gosh i just hope this thing works... and comes... will be curious to see who the first out of like the 5 or so of us that have ordered the b2 w cooling or b3 w/o if the pump fails. grrr now i have to go buy  a multimeter too according to syscooling to ensure i do not fry my boards urgh...

 

oh god the b2's have the old wiring harnes incuded.. grrr.. so what am i going to have to do/buy to make sure i do not fry?

Yes batch 2 C1's. All came with old wiring harness. Have not hooked up  yet.

The working temperature of the pump:  ambient: lower than 50℃，coolant:lower than 60℃.If your pump doesn't cause by this problem,you could email us with detaied information.

Well，I could just suggest you test the wiring harness and pump before assembly to make sure they work well.Kits of the first batch have been out of customs,we couldn't recall them and replace.But I think you need't worry about it that much,actually we received just a few cases of first batch that have problems.

Sort of...the batch 1 C1s required a direct order of the cooling kit from Syscooling.com.  I ordered two kits directly from syscooling.com.  One had a bad harness that cooked a fan header.  The other now has a leaking/shorted/non-functional pump. 

I was able to fix the first issue by replacing the bad harness with simple 4 pin splitters that i connected to the remaining good fan headers.  Not sure what I am going to do about the second issue...that miner is still down.

I have recently order two more batch 2 C1s with the cooling kit provided directly from BitMainTech.  I will report on the quality of the cooling kits that come with these when I receive/install/run them.

Dogie / BitMainTech,

I said this weeks ago and will say it again...syscooling.com is ruining your reputation.  If you are going to market a water cooled miner, you need to find a different partner for the cooling kit.  This forum now has multiple examples of syscooling's bad pumps, bad harnesses, poor RMA practices, horrible customer service, etc. etc. 

Continuing to partner with them, gives us users the perception that these problems are OK with BitMainTech.  Based on my experience with you, I know this is not true.  You have been the best provider of consumer mining technology to date...PLEASE find a better partner for your cooling kits.

I was really excited about this cooler until I saw the shipping price, which gave me sticker shock!  One cooler ends up costing $246.

Total products money: $119.00 + Shipping money: $118.00 + Poundage: $9.88
Total payable money: $246.88

The CC with this liquid is cubic centimeter.  1 cubic centimeter = 1 ml.   1 will fill one plus a little.

You need 700-800ml per miner, so 1.25.

No kit comes with coolant as you're not allowed to send liquids via air. + it probably adds nearly the same cost in coolant again to fly it round the world.

@opentoe are you running the b2 miners with the cooling kits included?

@dsheaffer is the pump failing etc the b1 equipment? Thanks..

@chowminer.. I think about 1 I ordered two from a diff place only charged me 14$ a piece shipped from LA

I'm sure bitmain will deliver just a question of when (prob quick i.e. china factory) but like dogie say theres prob a short que of like 100-1000 they are probably pushing like 20-50 units a day maybe a little more (who really knows?).

REgardless I have been sitting here telling myself I would much rather wait a few days with this thing in china and them testing it then me rec. faulty product with all of the nightmares these other people have been xp with b1

now im praying my fans are not gen1 harnesss. Jesus i wish i just stepped up to the s4.................... why did i skimp over a few btc. The s4 coupon is 400 for gods sake.... and ive heard theyre shipping now no delay..

My moneys on this batch just appearing w/o tracking info. I've only ordered twice from bitmain but bot were 3 days to northern west coast. So it may be there tomorrow or sometime next week :/ I want to mine....

Two things:

1)  After less than 30 days, one of the Syscooling pumps died on me this morning.  I came down for breakfast, and the case fan was blowing at max.  I quickly realized the pump wasn't running and killed the power.  Powered on after a few minutes, the pump ran for a couple of minutes and then stopped again.  I power cycled one more time and the pump didn't try to run at all. Any thoughts or just RMA? 

Edit:  This evening I powered on the miner/cooling system again and the pump ran briefly once again and then stopped.  I also noticed a very slow leak now...so I suspect the coolant is leaking into the pump electronics and creating a short...thoughts on how to correct or should I just RMA?

2)  I ordered two C1 -B2s on the 14th and 15th respectively -- no tracking numbers on mine either, but much as in an earlier post, I'm not too worried.  I may get the miners before BitMainTech posts the tracking numbers.

I received both my miners today with the OLD wiring harness. Can Bitman and Syscooling confirm this wiring harness is NOT going to blow up any boards in the C1? So I still have to open up the whole unit to connect the harness.

Syscooling still recommend opening their own pump up to clean it out from dust?

How many C1's will this coolant cover? http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-CL-W0148-Big-Coolant-1000CC/dp/B000XUW78A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416610031&sr=8-2&keywords=liquid+cooling+coolant

@Ilan no do they do not

@s4 guy yes i really wanted one of these as more of a novelty thing for people to see etc like a model i just hope that i dont run into more headaches with the pump and order delay time..... hoping i get my tracking number tonight :/

@fatman in a little over 3 weeks i will have access to 50x50 data center space with 600 amp 240 box. I will be the only person that has the codes additionally I have already been informed I can put whatever systems I please in there no questions asked. (after explain to him they are research computers for an experimental banking networking he was then lost)

I will be ordering the 4x c-1 kit as Dogie posted and see if i can shake some magic up with it. Will keep you guys posted but will not have the power for 3k watts until a few weeks (2nd week of dec)

ill call the mailbox tom. n see if it came by accident like some ppl r saying they ship w no update

Hi do the standard kits that come with the C1 include coolant?

Others have used it a few pages back I think, supports 4x C1

I think you are asking if anyone has one?   I would also like to know, has anyone purchased one of these?  Dogie, are you familiar with it and does Bitmain have any feedback on this model?  Is it recommended?  The cooler looks awesome!  I want one.  It would be great to have 1 cooler to support 4 C1's.
