For those who have received their ants, how did you pay your customs charges (if any) cash, cheque, card?

Also, to the delivery driver or over the phone?

Hopefully receiving mine today!

Hi had to pay in cash to the driver i was not given any other choice


Thanks.

Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the bank! How much was it and did he carry change?

Also, on another note, I'm also interested in which ALTs people are mining and where?

both of my miners have charges on the £29.94 on each
and no he  did not have change so i gave him £60


Mine just arrived with a £35.98 charge and the only option was cash. No cheque or pin machine. I gave him £40 quid and he said he couldn't change it. LMAO, so I routed around and came up with £36 quid. He refused and said he couldn't keep the change. So now I have to go out and buy some sodding Polo mints that I won't eat and hope I get back before he tries again or it will be tomorrow. He wouldn't even keep the two pence change.

How very annoying! I've said it before UPS SUCK!
Thanks for the heads up, just rushed out to get cash and a handful of small change! Wink

Anyone ever use Corsair VS550 for powering the Ant ?
I just blow up that PSU (not actual blow, just die).
the spec say 12V 41A, it only run about 3 minutes and then the PSU die.
now running only 1 blade with 20 Amp psu.
need to look for another PSU, maybe ex server.

I have 1 ant running on a Corsair RM850. The PSU fan doesn't even run.

Yes finally!... "Out for Delivery"  Cheesy

Has anyone run these units side by side?  I have limited space in my server cabinet so I am ganna have to have 2 miners quite close to each other.

I don't like the idea I would like space for good air flow. I would probably only have 1-2cm gap between the two. Does anyone know if this would greatly increase board temps?

I have three units side by side. Works pretty well with Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000rpm fans on the other side, blowing air out. The unit in the middle is actually running cooler than it would standalone.

Great that's good to hear!

pjcltd how did you stack one ontop of the other? I can't see how the power and ethernet cables did not get in the way or get squashed?

btw I aslo had to pay the UPS guy cash, which I wasn't happy about but oh well. it was £31 summin each.

I will take a pic and show you

That looks used to me! Did you wipe that thermal paste off the second board or was it like that out the box? I would think for the paste to run like that it would have to have been used and if it wasn't you then someone else tried to remove it before sending the unit off. I'm not sure it can get that hot during transport at any stage.

no i started to clean it up
then i remembered to take pics

I have some small globs around the screws on my boards and they have never shown any signs of running like that, the fan should not allow it to get that hot... of course unless it was clogged because it was running for weeks without cleaning...

Very pleased for you mate.

Also If you wouldn't mind sharing what Alt coin have you been mining for the last 2 weeks and where ( safe ) are you exchanging to BTC.

Thanks in advance
