It's possible those are users who just took delivery of their units, and haven't set the correct pool settings.

I have moved from about position #23 to #46 in the past few days.

my HW slave took delivery of a Batch #3 4 module machine today (Brussels), I have not checked if it's hooked up yet.

You are correct about the total number of cables.
My point was that the black PCBs on top, the ones that the flat and power cables connect to, used to be 1 per module.
Now they seem to be conjoined, thus you have 2 modules sharing one PCB, as on the pic.
I believe the twin PCB can be broken in two. There's a breakage line in the PCB, and all traces seems to be separated.

There's nothing wrong. DiffA/Time reveals you're getting 1533.3199 shares/min accepted. This is equivalent to 1149.9899/min on a 3 module Avalon. You're fine.

Be glad you weren't silly enough to listen to Yifu's advice to forgo the included PSU.

Does this look like a lot of rejected shares?



Could it just be the pool? (slush)

What order number are they currently shipping?  any 5xxx shipped yet?

I think people should post the transaction time of their payment.

I was thinking about this too.
The pic below clearly shows it.
The modules are "siamese twins"  Cheesy
How would they do it for the 3-module units that we ordered ?




a better angle to show the modules I bet well see two more flat cables and another pair of power cords.

this one is to show the back panel.

Thank you! Thank you! ...

I just got 2 4-module Avalons with power supplies.  the units are smaller.  I set them at 350 and they are doing 110MH/s each.  Not sure if I should change firmware as it is 20130723

Any idea how much power each Avalon is using now? Seems like overclocking to 350 would exceed the capacity of the installed 850W PSUs, unless you've thought of that already and upgraded to PSUs with higher wattage?

The 4 module pictures, it looks as if the modules are in groups of 2 now? Why did they do this? Doesnt this make expand-ability more difficult and forced to buy 2x modules now? =(

Surely the ones sandwiched in the middle retain more heat than if they were standing separate to eachother...Huh

True.
Heat dissipation depends on surface/area.
Stacking them like that, you lose the surface of each top/bottom.
Just look at the Avalons as if they were individual fins of a single heatsink.
You want this fins apart, not touching each other.

If this is the same idea as spacing on a server rack... wouldn't devices that have front-to-back cooling negatively effect cooling by spacing them apart?

EDIT: I assume, in this setup, you would also lose airflow to the top units by adding spacing... I'd leave them stacked.

Didn't know that, but w.r.t. throwing air con at them, surely it's has a negligible effect to those units sandwiched between??



Not sure what effect A/C have on them,
