Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 413. (Read 527634 times)

a) 3psu as in 3*at least 450w on 12v or

b) 2psu as in 1*at least 900w on 12v and another of 450w on 12v

first option is 1psu/board, second is big psu/2boards and small psu/1board

I agree with this.  I got my first S5 from Bitmain through Amazon, on purpose.  It also ended up being their 'last one' in stock, 'new'.  Even though it was a substantial mark up considering the second hand units they sold recently.  I did not want to be screwed and still got my first unit through the Amazon store.  It came from their CO distribution center with one board not firing off the bat and the other showing 1 chip down, which I think was actually in truth two chips down on the other chain.  Bitmain was always polite and respectful in their replies to me and offered an exchange, along with all shipping charges paid.  That is NOT their general policy, but Amazon makes them do it.  I returned their politeness, and accepted the Exchange.  An exchange I may say that works perfectly and I think comes from a later S5 batch because it had individual heat sinks on the outside of the hashboards as well as fins on the inside, similar to the design above.  However, if it hadn't been for the fact I had the 2,000 lbs gorilla in the room of Amazon none of that could very well have happened.

Longer ROI on that unit, now maybe NEVER an ROI given this S7, but I did finally get a damn fine unit.

so what power supply and setup would be needed to run these things? I am retarded when it comes to this stuff. took me 2 days to get my s3 up and running lol

So many lulz with that picture and the context my side is hurting
must watch that flick today

and to be on topic, bitmain doesn't need to hype this sale. They will have plenty of people clicking buy. I think the price is a bit high.
I want to also say, a couple of people have suggested I fret a bit much over certain aspects of delivered miners. I don't really care what those people think except to say, I do not think they care enough about their money.
Pay attention to the product announcements you receive, every word. Inspect your heat sinks to make sure they are all attached - the S5+ document straight up stated this, make sure the boards haven't jostled enough to lose one, make sure there isn't loose heat sink material where the heat sink wasn't cleaned out properly, check your fans, and follow the bitmain warranty protocol.
Do not buy from re-sellers. You will get screwed on warranty claims.
Most of all check the product you receive -- thoroughly! and never be shy about asking bitmain questions via e-mail and document everything! Delete nothing. You never know when a little gem will brighten your day.

There will be problems, be meticulous in how you handle them.


Sales will be open on 9pm(utc+8), 30th Aug, 2015. Shipping may start between Sept. 21 ~ 30 (if shipped out 10 days later than it, it won't be considered as delay )

@BITMAIN will the S7 be available on Hashnest when it is released for sale to the public?

Don't spam the thread, you nincompoop.
Find something to say about the S7, anything, even if you can not afford it. "It must be too loud" is a good excuse.

Yeap, already looking at Co-location datacenter services for em right now.  Just got to find a Server PSU that can run three of em at once.  I take thought some guy was claiming to be an official IBM reseller with a setup that had no bare wires which could handle the load.

Stop quoting the fraudster, you sociopath.

Sucks, won't be able to run those at home ... never

They stated it will be loud.  Just need to read a few posts back.

They got probably the same 70 dB fans on them the S5 does.  Front and back.  So expect two jet engines.

How loud are they ? I doubt they are silent like the S3 but more like an S5.

Stop quoting other quotes (or do your usual report to moderator), you fraudster.

And that's the problem, the block halving.  This industry is becoming more and more 'centralized', and that's either going to be 'the way it is' or something is going to have to be done to blunt it.  Let the tech wars and upgrade burnout begin.  Also makes those PACMiC contracts look like the sucker's dream as well.  ROI on that is going to be HELL unless they upgrade their farms to S7's and then all those suckers just paid their capital investment cost at .666 bitcoin per 1 T/H.  Always said that was a loan,  Now it looks like a REALLY bad loan.

I have 9 cents electricity. I calculated ROI for almost 250 days, but then we'll see block halving. I think ROI is not possible with my electricity fee considering mining difficulty.

Don't think it's sold out, don't think it's even up for sale yet.  This is the hype before they open the flood gates.

It's the J/GH that's the important part.

Yes the cost is up right now.  But if you have good electrical rates, and the 205 outlet needed to run the thing, and are only paying 1/4th a watt per GH then it seems like a pretty good deal.

The S5+ is actually looking like it was the sucker's bet at the moment given the added PSU cost needed to run it.  Now the question comes when is the S6 going to drop?

And what are Server PSUs running that could power three of these babies?  And yes, difficulty is going to go through the roof.  It's going to be a spending game and those who are 'well capitalized' are going to be pushing other people out of the market with how fast the tech is changing.

Harumph
Sold out fast?

Hmm so with your new setup, we should be able to mod some fans, perhaps 2x ultra kaze and it should be able to work with less noise. Meh, I still won't take the bet, I am pretty sure someone will try it soon and if it works I'll do it.
