Has anyone received B8 and measured the power consumption at the wall yet? 1300w + 10% seem a bit on the high side, completely capping a 15a120v breaker and leaving no headroom for OC or anything.

Per my PDU, it takes 6 Amp, 240V. Not sure how accurate it is, prior to adding a B8, PDU was showing 17amp.

Well that would be right about 90% efficiency for 1300W(DC)/1440W(at the wall). Some reading with a meter would be nice but even in the best case scenario, i think that is very annoying for a 120V user. Specially since from 1300w to 1500-1600w ATX psu, the price literally double.

I am using Bitmain PSU which is supposed to be 93.8% efficient, apparently not.

Might be but saying 6 Amp is rather inaccurate since each amp there is 240watts. The way you gave round number make it sound like if its 5.8AMP it says 6 Amp, hence the need for a reading with a wattmeter. Not sure how your PDU works.

Mine for a Bit

DANG! Had one BURN-UP on me on startup. Emailed Bitmain yesterday, will wait for their reply.

When the switch does not connects the antminer immediately, this is what can happen. The Antminer Batch 7 had the September Firmware on it when I received it and did not have perfect internet connectivity evidently. Here is the pic. I have tried everything to get this to run again soft/hard reboots, firmware update / backdate / reset. Nothing seems to help. When this happened last time, I did the troubleshooting that Bitmain asked me to do and ended up sending the boards and the controller back to them.

Went ahead and bought some more S7s Batch 8. These are my first Batch 8. I am hoping these will be good for the long run!

I just had a blade die randomly on a batch 8 S7. It now shows all dashes where the chips should be and 0c temp.

I'll be documenting the RMA process from start to finish and posting it here every time there is an update

12/28/15 Called bitmain US support and spoke with "Z", who directed me to zendesk and had me open a support ticket.
12/28/15 Created detailed support ticket containing all relevant information and a screen shot of the miner's dashboard showing the dead hash board.
Current status: Waiting for a response from bitmain.

You should have emailed directly to [email protected], they replaced 2 of my fried boards and a fan.

How was the service dealing with China directly? I imagine it isn't too late for me to email them instead of the US team.

See my earlier post regarding my RMA experience with Bitmain China.

I am impressed the way Bitmain handled my warranty claim. I sent an email to info@bitmaintech describing the issues I was having, only 1 out of 3 boards worked out of the box. Wrote order number and problem on the subject line. Also added type of power supply I was using, in this case a Bitmain 1600 watter, sent a picture of input voltage with a voltmeter just in case. Got a reply from Sherry Liu, she asked if I opened the miner yet, if not open and inspect. I found loose heatsinks and burn marks on the boards after opening up the miner. I sent pictures to Sherry. She approved the RMA and sent me prepaid shipping labels. Note because of time difference it is not fair to expect a reply within an hour or two, wait at least 24 hours or longer depending when you sent your email. After shipping out the boards, replacement boards were at my doorstep in 7 days. I ordered more than 10 S7s from Bitmain and this is the only S7 that gave me trouble, they are all hashing at their advertised speed or faster. Also it is good to be polite, I am sure Bitmain didn't mail a defective miner, things get rough during shipping.

Great, happy to see you were well taken care of. Here's hoping my experience is similar.

1 of my b5 board died, sent to china, they reply pretty quick gmt+8

just received my b8 today 1 of the board is 0 temp with dashes, tried everything including the diagnostics china sent to me.

same result. but if i just try 1 board it shows 48 chips hahha

but when i power off n on it shows 30 chips

multiple reboots, power on n off, tested psu it's all good.

conclusion board dead. hate to document everything n send the board back ! costs me usd 60 bucks !

you would be dealing with sherry liu, she replies pretty quick.

another b8 1 of the board wold kinda like blip n stops hashing for a while n comes back alive or the miner would kind of reset itself n mine again. it's just random will monitor the other miner.

both miners ordered about 10 days ago. running latest fw from bmt site.

just received them today ! only been mining for about 7-8 hours. temps are good too no more than 60 C.

i'd say DON'T buy any s7's for now till a solution comes up.

snapping pics now, some pics to come later.

those with b8 do kindly report back.

I thought people were well off with their S5 purchases, S5 were sold more than their purchase price not so long ago on eBay plus the BTC earned.

Yes. The S5's were winners.

they still are winners since people in my area are selling them for over 500$.. which is like 150$ more than i paid for mine new :/

Yup, I wished I picked up an S5 or two months ago when they were cheap used. Even the S3s are expensive used now! Hell, I bet I could sell my S1 for more than I paid for it a year ago.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but should I buy S7 today? Or it's too late and ANT can't give several BTCs in several months?

... maybe you should describe your tactics in speculation rather than hardware.

Fair point. Mods could perhaps nuke the jab then, and this sub-thread.

FWIW, where I'm coming from is from a former home-miner perspective, and everything I've seen past the S5's from Bitmain (the only game in town, really) has been a risky to losing proposition, and has driven me out of home mining altogether; having sold off my SP20's, S3's, and S5's, and making occasional fiat buys on (exchange doesn't matter).

At the end of the day, I'm just disappointed seeing Bitmain's transformation from the S1 days to where the landscape is today.

Apologies for the derail.
