Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 250. (Read 527809 times)

Ok, here is what I have:  #4 freq is 600 HW is .0256% at 4.579 Th/s (24hr),    #1 freq is 575 HW is .0296% at 4.707 Th/s (24hr)

Made changes,
After 20min:  #4 freq 568 HW is .0186% at 4.574 Th/s (20min), #1 freq is 593 HW is .0275% at 4.689 Th/s (20min)
After 60min:  #4 freq 568 HW is .0154% at 4.547 Th/s (60min), #1 freq is 593 HW is .0275% at 4.703 Th/s (60min)

My 4 from October 17 and three from October 21 not shipped.

From my experience I found that higher temps give a lower HW.  Either a hotter environment or slower fan speed will increase the temp and lower the HW of the miner.  Apposing this theory would be that electronics and heat are a bad combination.  In this, increased temperature may decrease the longevity of the miner.  Some Considerations.

I like your optimism in ordering ~10 S7 or ~20K worth in one "gulp".
Apart from it being a business, i don't see the need.  
I can always buy the coin and for fun 1,2 machines are just fine.

take that dud number 4 and drop freq to 568 see what it does.
take the slow number 1 and drop freq to 593 see what it does.

really look at the error numbers.

It got hot in NJ it is 66f so I will have to raise my fans. but my errors are spectacular in a good way.

How about temperature on the different miners, are the hotter ones hashing better?
I swear mine hash better at higher temps, 45-55C.

My numbers creep down at night it seems, when the temperature drops.

Pic from tonight:


I was running the fans at 90%, because I got scared by the firmware failure/lost internet error. I've set it back to automatic now, need higher temps.

One of my S7 seem to be hashing lower now than before, can't get it above 4,7TH/s, thats why I wondered about the PSU change.

That was my first change without a change in results.  It would still only obtain a 4.3 Th/s with the Bitmain APW3-12-1600-B2.

No, the B1 came clocked at 600, but would only obtain 4.3Th/s.  I tried everything so, I clocked it at all increments down to 575 and it has maintained 4.579 Th/s ever since.  All of these have been upgraded with the new firmware as well, which did not make a difference whether it was the 600 or 575 firmware for antminer4....I tried both.

Would be interesting to see antminer4's performance if you switched PSU. Run it with an APW3, will you get better numbers?

That B1 came clocked at 575?

sigh.....


 my order or B3's placed 10/20/2015 has not shipped yet ....

My order just shipped also - phew!    Check those heat sinks guys 

And let me envy your hash.

I wanted to post this as a reference to others as to how mine are running and with what.  Please let me know if you are seeing something I can improve or let me know if this information helps you.

I wouldn't take that as absolute. My 30% is doing 2,640 and 2,520.

I'm not going into it again, its been discussed 100x over. DPS-2000 with <16AWG wiring.

Please note what PSU you used for this test; otherwise you are falsely indicating that this will be the case with any shitty low end PSU.

Quoting for good measure (and for easy reference).

My orders from
2015-10-19
2015-10-20

are shipped.

2015-10-23 ,  2015-10-24 , 2015-10-25 not shipped

Even though my PSU has 12 PCI-Es, I specifically ran it on 7 to prove the point. As expected there were absolutely no problems for weeks on end, cables remain at ambient.


I'd much rather do a quick shake test when putting it on the rack than be constantly worried of lose fish paper being eaten by a fan and locking it up.
