All,

I need a suggestion. I order BITMAIN AntMiner APW3-12-1600 PSU Series with ANTMINER S7 BATCH 3 recently. Order hasn't shipped yet.

I am double minded about PSU; will that work in America?
https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201505040743496917U7kGsCm0694

Voltage Range
176-264V AC
 
Starting Voltage
200-205V AC

Would some help me please..


Yes, it works in America.  However, you need access to 208 to 240 Volts instead of 120 Volts.  This would be a 2 poll breaker in the Main Service Panel and a minimum of 20 amps with 12 AWG wiring.  If 2 poll 30 amp breaker, you need 10 AWG wiring.  I don't think you are going higher than 30 Amps if you are installing a 240 volt outlet for the BMT 1600 watt PSU if you are in your home.  I would suspect if you were in a data center, you would not have asked this question.

240 Volts is the way to go.  You can run twice as many rigs than you can with 120 Volts.  If you don't know what you're doing with electricity, get some help locally.

Could easily get away with a 2 pole 15A 240V breaker and 14GA wire if all he wants to power is 1 or 2 bitmain PSUs. If more, 30A and PDU.

That's right dmwardjr,

I would have not given second thought about power calculation if I would have been purchase Colocation space.

So that mean, I will have to arrange electrician to do that power adjustment if I was to use S7 and APW3-12-1600 PSU at my home?

What if I buy this type of PSU http://www.frys.com/product/6806106?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG   then sure I don't need to do any changes above. Right?

Thanks Again

I am wondering as to why batch 2 is like a foster child, always last to pay attention to.

They can ship the miner until 10 of November... then it will be delayed, not before... My Batch1 was send last day  Roll Eyes

1. first of all, you got a wrong day, as +10 from oct 25 is Nov 4, NOT Nov 10.
2. why do you encourage this behavior?  Roll Eyes

that's true...  Embarrassed

I was thinking the batch 3 could delivered up to oct 30 (+ 10 days)...  (batch 1 could up to sep 30)  Grin

I updated to the newest firmware as well. After about an hour, my S7 is performing a little better than standard spec and a couple degrees cooler than before the firmware upgrade.

Firmware is updated, overclocking definitely still works.  Smiley

I know the options are still there, but has anyone who updated to the new firmware confirmed that overclocking still works?

Not sure if working tbh, getting 100 GH/s less on stock clock.
My overclocked 625mhz one was at 4,98~th/s, is now at 4,80, has only been running for 2 mins tho.

Great.  Undecided Give it some more time to stabilize, hopefully it's just variance..

I seriously hope bitmain hasn't started stealth removing functionality from the S7 like they have in the past with other miners.

Seems good:


Looks good indeed. Guess I'll update my S7.

Maybe too many higher performing miners.. They are using Batch 2 to flush out miners performing under spec...

good explanation, but people paid slightly less for less speed, not for getting it much later  Angry
if they don't have enough, basically almost any miner could be sent as b2 because it is 4.66+/-5%, so +5% bracket is 4.89
