Awesome attitude shit-cunt!

Is that how your parents taught you to talk to people?

Either answer the question posed or keep your shit to yourself, its rare that anyone wishes to be abused by anonfags over some weak BS.

And by the way, i dont open my mouth to type (or think, or read, or breath) - i know some folks who do, obviously you're one of those!

As if you're one to talk about attitude and politeness when talking to others. On another note, who gives a shit, quit cluttering the thread.

Just finished surgery on batch 2 S2's after receiving them today. All is well and they are all hashing at around 1 TH/s. As others have mentioned before, you will need to open the unit to reseat some of the cards.

Are these upgradable considering the relatively modular design ? The PSU can be upgraded and the "wafers" can be removed. Your thoughts ?

LOL what? you know what wafer means in semiconductor?

I hope you meant "modules"

LOL what? you know what 'are these upgradable considering the relatively modular design' means?

I guess you meant "sorry bud, im clueless but i can mug you off for no apparent reason"

Hey dumbass, why even open your mouth and confirm you're retarded?

Those module boards should NEVEREVEREVEREVEREVEREVER be called wafers. It makes me cry!!

Now go crawl back to whatever filthy hole you came from. Or I'll cry some more and get abusive...

Anyone have any luck with overclocking? I've been running 5 s2's at 225MHZ (EVGA 1300W PSUs) for 24HRs. Here's the 12HR average for 5 machines which, at the console, report 1150GH/s each.

'The right to privacy matters'

so these are not really ready for prime time.

I am still better off running my 5 s-1's at 200gh each.

oh well I will wait . in the meantime I ordered this psu on account.

The only problem I had with mine is a bunch of loose cables and the damn case would NOT come off. I had a couple screws that were being stubborn, so I just used the back of a hammer to pull through the screws on the two that wouldn't come up.

Once I got it open, the only problem was a bunch of unplugged cables, which is really freaking weird. All the boards were perfectly aligned, which was a big surprise for me. Once I got the ribbon cable plugged back in on the controller my network started to work and configuration was a breeze. I was sitting below 1000 gh/s for a while (like 967) which really pissed me off, but i went away and came back and settled around 1010 gh/s.

All and all I'm pretty happy. The case looked like someone hit the top of it with a fucking hammer. Aside from that though, it hashes perfectly, so that is really all I care about.

Bitmain should ship the modules in a separate box with instructions for the customer to plug them in. The fit between the blade and the PCI slot is obviously not snug enough. Do they not screw down like a video card would in a case?

Correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure Bitmain said that they had resolved the issue with shipping the units in batch 2 to make them more secure with lock in clips ?

From what I can see so far this is not the case Undecided

Hopefully Bitmain can make an official post as the RMA mumbers must be costing them a fortune!

Hopefully mine arrive okay and safe but I fear the worst with the delays Cry

29 out of 30 blades is not bad...time to contact bitmain and see what they can do for me. I am just glad it wasn't the mainboard. Grin

Dam that was a quick reply...I LOVE BITMAIN.
They are going to RMA it. Kinda wish they would let me pay for the blade/hashboard and send it to me while I send this one back. Then they cuold refund me once they have the bad one. but alas I am happy that they have responded so quickly. Thanks again BITMAIN.

I love them too, but RMA process is a nightmare. I received an S1 with a bad control board paid the entire cost of a new S1 and they shipped the board... thanks. Shipped the board back UPS at a cost of $129 because they had to receive it within 7 days of me getting the replacement board. Long story short miner no mine for 3 weeks, .93 BTC for board, $129 for shipping board back, and still no refund or compensation. Did get an email 4 days ago from BITMAIN stating not to worry all will be good Huh

One bad out of twenty is pretty damn good and I'll still buy from them but damn take care of my RMA! And I still want a T-shirt Grin

One of the S2' keeps shutting off after less than 3 hours then refuses to power on, unless I open the case and reseat the cards. It is currently running but might shut off again.

*Not temperature related since the room is cool. The other S2 stays at around 53

New blades, new fans:

Make sure to post a new photo of the rig update - you seem to have so many of these S2's

Can anyone from batch 2 comment on the new design for securing the blades during shipment.

Hopefully Bitmain can ship these not installed!!!

Anyway nice update, cheers

I received my batch 2 unit, which started up right away, no problems.

Fans are apparently individually temperature controlled, with individual RPM displays on the web control panel, they definitely slow down when it isn't hashing or when you blow cold air at it, and run up to a moderate speed (not full speed) when it warms up during normal operation. Sound level is less than 2 S1s at the same temperature, might be similar to 1 S1, not sure.

Have not measured watts at the wall and reluctant to unnecessarily power cycle it (to plug in kill-a-watt) given comments about SD getting corrupted.

Temps showing a range of 42-47

Everything is stock.

Plan on ventilation. Lots of off-gassing. Definitely not used.

Sure smells toxic. I may not wake up in the morning because of the fumes, lol.

To those with batch 2 units. Someone mentioned that there is a new power supply? How many watts now? and how many watts drawing at the wall? Have the new heat sinks improved cooling at all? What is new temp range? and range of temps on chips internally? New Case? Better / worst design? Thanks for any additional information.

HolyScott

yeah what is the new

'psu'

watts at the wall

db sound level

what does it clock to?

1100gh at 1100 watts vs 1000gh at 975 watts?

I believe he meant new as in "not used". Many batch 1 S2s came with used PSUs (you could tell due to some dust build up), probably taken from their mining farm.

Seems like some of the batch 2 S2s have new PSUs... but they are the same model (1000W Enermax)

Fuck, the case screws won't come off... anyone else run into this?

DO NOT use force , you might break the screw or worn its head off.

Use hair dryer to heat it up until its too hot to touch, then start unscrewing it.

Too late, I brute forced the mother fucker. I needed to fix the shit that mattered.

The correct word would be blade/daughter board but that doesnt not matter.

When you say wafer can be removed, its completely confusing and misleading.

If you dont correct them so they will keep using confusing words?

I did hint that he should simply call them modular board.

Maybe not everyone's first language is English? Besides, whoever can call it whatever they want - it is up to you whether you have the comprehension to get it or not. When I read wafer, I get it - you don't. Don't pick on words and throw a fit about it.

Back to the subject of this thread. Does anyone have any inside info on 3rd batch yet?

If i hinted him to use "modules", why wouldnt i get it?

Seem like you sound even more stupid to assume.
