So that $40 I had to pay was in fact a "brokerage" fee by UPS.. thats kind of lame they wouldnt tell me that over the phone yesterday instead claiming it was a import fee set by customs.  but the delivery guy told me its a brokerage fee.. and only 1 of my 2 packages had the fee.

oh well, even the delivery guy was kind of perplexed about why it was even there

time to set them up

Just got mine running... almost wish I had ordered 10, not 2 Smiley

first impression is very good.. as usuall bitmain comes thru with a solid product....  which is more than you can say about most 'bitcoin hardware' manufactures.....  as in most dont even deliver anything!!

mine is running at about 4650:
34m13s
   
4,750.58

My order was supposed to arrive today via DHL, but it was held up today at customs.  Spoke to DHL and they say customs wanted to x-ray the package before it was cleared. Delivery is now scheduled for tommorrow.....

Got my S7 today! And my first post Smiley  Been running for a couple hours and getting almost exactly 4.86 TH/s at default 600MHz...and has not had a single HW. It is using more power than I expected. I have it connected to one Antec HCP-1300 Platinum and it is showing 1,350watts with a Kill A Watt meter at the wall. The brief info card that came with it also said it uses 1,210watts and would use about 1,400watts at the wall with a standard server power supply. Wasn't it supposed to be 1,210watt at the wall with a 93% efficiency power supply? I was expecting about 1,250watts at the wall with my Antec HCP-1300 running at around 90% efficiency.

The red light is also blinking on the miner. Not sure how to figure out what the issue is, as it is hashing at expected rate as shown by the miner and the pool. I'm thinking maybe a fan problem. Without manually changing the fan speed, Fan 1 is always running at 4,560 and Fan 2 always runs at 3,120. Temp is 58-60c for all three boards in 23c ambient basement. When I try to manually set the fan speed, it doesn't change much. At 50% the fans run at 4,000/3,000. At 80% it is 4,200/3,120. My S5s work as expected when I manually adjust the fan speed.

It would be interesting to see others adjust their fan speeds as well to see if both fans are close to the same RPM's or if they are substantially different as yours are.  AND to see if they also have the red light you are speaking of.

My S7 arrived today, just plugged everything in to test it. For some reason I do only get around 1700GH/s although all blades seem to work.
I have a higher HW rate, what can cause this?

Edit:
Got it: I had to change the frequency for some reason. I set it to 612 and then back to 600, now it is working.

Happy to hear that.  I was just about to respond.

Your S7 looks like it's doing well.  Previous posts seem to indicate the default frequency is 600; not 612.  Was 612 the next step up?

It's the third step up.  I tried all freqs 600 up thru 650 for 8 mins each; 612 was best out of those tested.

Thanks again for sharing alienesb.  I would be curious to see what your 3 hour and 12 hour readings are by this time tomorrow.

12 hours   4,772.03 Gh/s average

Thanks for sharing.  That isn't bad.  However, it also depends on the pool you navigate to.  For instance, Antpool would always tell me I had less hash rate than Slush pool over a 24 hour period with the same gear.

Is this hash rate you are sharing from your miner status or from the pool?

Assume you are all running at 600MHz, what sort of HW error rate are you seeing?

That looks ok-ish. Probably makes you ineligible for the hypothetical refund/coupon though Smiley

This would be a good time for Bitmain or dogie or whoever is running their PR nowadays to say something on the subject.

Also wondering if the lower hash rate they have showing up is another reason that the batch 1 sells were stopped until they get a handle on it.

I believe you may have hit the nail on the head.
