don’t like that you must use an app rather just log in. the log in does not have speed control

for my unit at least, you can actually change the fan speed in the root login actually. after you set up the device with the app, type in the IP in a web browser, [default password & username is root/root] and it's in the "configuration" tab towards the bottom of the screen.

i haven't used the app since the first day and all i used it for was to set the 'color' mode which can't be changed without the app.

So I have two running nicely.  Wondering if there is a firmware link and if any firmware was issued.

Cool. I got the email stating this as well. It also said that they’re expecting the next big shipment of Avalon nanos to go out on May20th. That means it won’t be much longer before those of us who ordered get to have our hands on them. I’m not looking forward to the heater aspect much, but cheap hashes are always great.

Anyone know if anyone has any after market grills for the front and back of this unit? Got a buddy of mine running one at his place and the whining it makes on high mode is pretty bad, but once you remove the covers it's entirely silent. I think it's mainly caused by a slightly higher temperature in his place VS mine which stays super cold. Or anyone know of any STL files for the grills? Or have the ability to scan them with something? Would be very interested in tweaking them in order to make the unit truly silent. May create my own in cad at some point, just haven't had the time.

I got the lightning deal 13 usd.

i am at 127f pulling 98 watts at the kwatt meter

running 24/7/365


let me check temp again

129.9f running for about 25 hours on medium speed.

Thanks for that link and double checking your temp. Cheers.

For folks who want to just run medium mode or want to see if the stand alone unit (no PSU) comes sooner, I think I found a pretty cool product for only $34. It's rated 28V/5A and comes with 2 USB-C ports (my thinking was running two nanos from this)!

***----> Actually now that I'm thinking about it, 140W rating though not going to be enough. I think conservatively if you are running medium mode, you should plan for at least 90-100W allocation per unit. Maybe someone can chime in and confirm this. If I can find one of these with a higher rating, I'll update.

https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Charger-3-Port-Compatible-Laptop/dp/B0CM69NR1N/ref=sr_1_1?


yeah it is gan based they all seem to run hot.


They dropped the ball a bit on psu.

I like the unit but they should have done two speeds.

60 and 90 watts.  And they could have done a better psu.

https://www.amazon.com/ORIGINAL-GENUINE-240-Watt-ADAPTER-CHARGER/dp/B07PPQYX3C/ref=asc_df_B07PPQYX3C?

240 watts 19.5 volts 12.1 amps would have been the proper one if you want to do the high speed.


Oh thanks for reminding me as I forgot to ask you. Do you by chance have any kind of thermo reader? I was curious if you are running your nano 24/7 and if so, say after a couple days if you took a temp reading on your PSU? I saw someone online in a video post a snip of the thermo reader and it was 60 degrees celsius. But I don't know which mode was running and what duration.

I would want to go medium mode 24/7 and what I'm going to do is mount the PSUs in a rack in such a suspended way that fans will hit them in two directions. I'm hoping this will keep PSU temps significantly down.

Aside from that, if you just ran them and even if the PSU was on the side, wonder if there is ceiling on just how high the temp can hit. But I think in terms of sustainability, I don't see how you don't configure some kind of fan/cool air flow specifically for the PSUs (and I'll set something up for the nano too)

Thought of one other question for DaveF, philipma1957, or anyone in possession of these Nanos.

Sound/noise wise, how would you say the Nano 3s compare to say the Nvidia 3090s or a high end GPU. Much louder or about the same? Thanks.

high pitched mosquito whine on high speed.

i ran it under my bed with the light off and the high speed noise was annoying. rpm at high is 4200 there is a whine.

it is perfectly fine on medium speed. rpm at medium is 2700 no issue.

Many thanks!

Hi guys,

has anyone buy the avalon nano 3 from minerpals.com?

Is this a serious shop?

Yes this is the video I alluded to where he just had the unit without the stock PSU. He was using an Apple USB-C and couldn't go beyond medium mode. But I think this is actually a good thing. I wouldn't run these in high 24X7 anyways.

Thanks for the update! No pressure but feel free to let us know the micro quantity of a BTC you pull in a 24 hour period.
I think the best value proposition longer term path is medium mode. There was even a video of someone who tried using a high end Apple USB-C that was capped at medium mode.

Are you by chance able to comment at all on this; in the mining management setup process for this Nano 3, is it easy/doable to just paste in your NiceHash SHA256 URL into that first field in the Nano 3, "Pool Address 1" ? Cheers

Before the 1/2ing yesterday I was pulling in ~600 sats a day.

And yes you can set any pool you like.

I had the one I sold to @philipma1957 pointed at a couple of others here and there while I was testing things out.

Appreciate the info sharing. Thank you as it's very helpful. I'm getting a bunch of these as my theory is BTC prices going much higher in the future.

Do you by chance have a meter that you really like which tracks your total kw usage? It's been a few years since I tore down my GPU rigs and sold everything but from my recollection, I think I had a kw meter directly plugged in first to my 30 AMP outlet adapter and from there going into this, I plugged in a 30A 30 outlet power rack mount, so I was able to get an aggregate kw output number. But now I'm not so sure if this is exactly what I actually did.  Cheers.

I have a link for a good 30amp 120-240volt meter. give me a minute

I hooked up my nano 3 this one came from davef I am using the 165watt dell psu

I set it to high and it reads 127 watts on the software screen.

I will slap in a kill-watt-meter

also I have a infrared thermometer lets see if the 165watt dell psu gets to a stupid temp.

gets to 121 temp better than 140 that the others get to but stupid hot

i read 125-127 watts for full speed on the software screen. the kwatt meter reads 141.

So 141 watts and 4.15 th is just over 31 watts a th.

backed it off to middle sitting.

85-88 watts on avalon screen
98 watts on kill-a-watt
3.05th
psu case is 129 f


like the miner.
don’t like that you must use an app rather just log in. the log in does not have speed control
so you will always use both the login and the app. note could be missing a way to use pc to change speeds.


I don’t like a lack of eth cable

but running it at middle speed does seem sweet.
