So happy so far with my Batch-1 s7 so I ordered a B2 one today. Wonder how long this one will take?  Wink
Also - why are the batch3's a tad more expensive than the batch-2's?

Batch 3 is 4.86 TH/s @ 600 MHz and Batch 2 is 4.66 TH/s @ 575 MHz.  200 GH/s difference and 1160 watts for Batch 2 verses 1210 watts for Batch 1 and 3.  They are both still 0.25 watts per GH
Interesting. My batch-1 s7 came with factory setting of 600mHz and is humming along perfectly at over 4.86 as reported by my pool. Guess I'll just have to goose the coming batch-2 one to the same and see how it does.

I believe the batch 2 are batch 1 rejects.  They were not mining to specifications they laid out for Batch 1.  However, they should work fine at 575 MHz instead of the 600 MHz originally quoted for Batch 1.

If it was so, then it is not clear why batch 2 was not sent at the same time as the remainder of batch 1.
Just policy?

Bitmain sold today 1600BTC worth of S7s  Shocked




Part of that was me ..... I just purchased some S7's.

My very first NEW mining equipment purchase... I drooling, I'm pacing around, I doubt I'll be sleeping tonight or for the next week.... That was a hefty hunk of change I forked out.


Awesome.
Have been pacing for 7 weeks.
I think a pile just showed up stateside.
They are pricey.

Go Big or Go Home.....
Playing with under clocking and running at 500Mhz @4TH with 0.000% error rates, using 1067watts.

Not bad at all.

My first Batch 1 unit seems to be working ok. 4.83 TH/s avg at 600 MHz over 6 hours, and showing 4.8+ poolside as well. Error rate 0.002%.

I'm testing another one at 625 MHz, doesn't appear to be giving me the expected ~4% gain. Barely reaching 4.95 TH/s (~2%). Error rate 0.004%.

That still isn't bad.  Overall, I'm impressed with the quality of the build and the performance.  All of my S7's continue to mine at 4.8+ TH/s with a very low HWE rate.  It may be that we will see that 4% gain as expected [When over clocking] with future batches.  Only time will tell.

Order Date: 9/16
Ship Date: 10/16

I was not home to receive the package but it did arrive today.

Great!

And did you get a shipping notice from Bitmain?

I hope they'll send one for me because I have to be there to receive the package...

Sign up for my UPS if you selected UPS, UPS will text or email you when something is on your way. That's how I found about mine.
If it is valued under $1000 by the shipper you can waive the signature over you have to be there in person or have it redirected to a ups store

I just received two orders yesterday and conducted some testing.  Both came in at 600, but the packaging was totally different.  Results were the same 4.2th/s and 3.9th/s.  I took them down to 575 and they both ran at 4.4th/s.  I then noticed the temps at an ave of 47-49C.  I lowered the fans down to 30% running about 2520rpm.  This changed the temp to an ave of 58-61 and hw went from .1 down to .005 and all of them are now running 4.6th/s.  

Thanks to the people out there on this forum that suggested that if they run a little warmer they run a lot more efficient!  Oh yeah, the noise is dramatically reduced.

You are able to run twice as much hardware with 240 Volt verses 120 Volt.

The quantity of hardware you can run is based on the circuit's amperage, not voltage.  Always double check that your circuit can supply enough amperage to support the attached devices, Watts = Amps x Volts.

Very true.  I was once an electrician.  I was on my way to certification but never did get certified.  I quit just short of taking my test for my Journeyman's License.

I, by no means, am suggesting to turn a 15 amp (14 AWG) circuit into a 240 Volt 20/30/40 Amp Circuit.  Is that what you took from my statements?  I don't see this implication in my statements.  If your statement was simply to inform them they cannot do what I just stated, then ignore my question wondering if that is what you gathered from my previous post.  I was prepared to assist in letting them know what to do if they wish to hook up their rigs to 240 Volts.  One can have 240 Volts on 20/30/40/50/60 Amp circuits.  One could also have 240 Volt/15 Amp one poll breakers but that depends on the supplied voltage for each bar in the Main Panel.  You and I both KNOW they do not have 240 Volt on one bar in their main panel at their house if they live in the U.S.

I was going to suggest Tandem breakers to make room for 2 poll 240 Volt breakers if they have no room in their Main Panel.  Their Main Panel might be in a garage.  If not, they might have an attic to run the proper wiring.  It depends on the amperage they want or the length of the run, which would determine what gauge wire they would use.  They may want PDU(s).  They may prefer to make whips.  Who knows?

I just don't know their situation.  Hell, they might be in an apartment on the lower floor of a tall building.  There was simply no need for me to go into details if they have no desire to gain access to 240 Volts.  Some are just fearful of doing any electrical work at all.  I've helped several in this thread [With no experience at all] via PM's to get going with 240 Volts for their rigs.

If your wiring is running through walls, you are not to exceed 70% to 80% of the circuits amperage.  If your wiring is outside of walls and laying on a concrete slab with whips, you would be safe to run the circuit up to full amperage with the proper gauge wire.  No where in the electrical code will you see a limit on how much you can run your main panel.  If your main panel is a 200 Amp main panel, that is its limit (200 Amps).  The limitation is placed on each individual circuit inside of walls or small conduit, not the main panel.  Hence, the reason there are limits on how many circuits [Depending on the gauge(s)] can be in a particular diameter pipe and the material the pipe is made of [Rigid, PVC, Galvanized Steel, etc...].  There are just so many variables.

To clarify, there are limits on the panel and the service.  There are definitely limits on how much you can run through your main panel.  In addition, you can not run more through your main panel than your service is rated for.  That will melt your service entrance wires, blow up transformers, etc.  normally there are something like 600 amp disconnects on the pole, but at that point all hell has broken loose and the utility is just trying to save the distribution network at that point.  

A houses main should shut down hopefully before anything like 600 amp.  If you take a hit at 600 amp it would be bad to say the least.

It is pretty easy to see amp limit on main.  But if you are not use to electricity don't do it.  If you open up the main breaker box it should have a breaker at top with number of amp's on it.   100 or 200 is pretty common depending.   If you are in a apartment might be less.

If you know nothing if you call a electrician and say you want to put in a 240 and check price.  Likely they will tell you a lot about your setup if you don't already know it, and are not familiar with electricity.

I just checked my Bitmain account and it now shows the tracking number for my order that I received yesterday but also shows the send date as 9/28. Not sure why they still want to post the 28th as the send date but they must be getting caught up to post the tracking numbers now which is a good sign.

while they may say that was shipped on the 28th  here is ups record for it oct 15th.

 note I removed info on it .  I suggest you get a few pdf's and screenshots for yourself.

 So I figure you get Oct 4 to Oct 15 or 11 days at 7 a day = 77 usd.  This could be wrong.




Phil I thought it had a late day starting after the 10th and Bitmain saying the comp starting the 11th. If so its only like 4 days at most. Maybe like $28 then. Rather be out the couple days and have a miner running at 4.8TH.

Also did you receive the 1500w Meanwell power supply ? Was wondering if it works ok? That seller is about 20 miles from me and may try one also.

looks like a new psu.  too busy to try it out.  the price is great maybe I try it tonight .


as for compensation I could not remember the start date.

I know for batch 2,3

 the last ship date is oct 25 ten days later is like the 4th or 5th of nov.

So far no one has claimed a b2 or b3 is in transit with a real track number
