'The right to privacy matters'

Quote from: MidwestMiner on April 13, 2015, 08:45:12 PM

Just received a Avalon 4.1 today and have to say that they do not disappoint. Built like a tank, not a scratch on it and as effective if not more than any other ASIC on the market.

I do however have a question for the thread that I haven't seen answered anywhere: what are good settings for maxing it out if you don't care about power, noise or heat? What GH is the "max" anyone has ran a single module at (consistently without heaps or errors)?

Thank you in advance.

But just for you I got off my lazy butt and wired 1 socket for 240 volts .

I have 2 psus. both are platinum one can do 92% the other can do 94%

one is an intel server it does 94% and 1200 watt max at 240 volts

the other is an evga1600 p2 it does 1600 watt at 240 volts.

I can't measure watts as my k-watt meters do up to 120 volts.

It appears running at 8500 volts with fan at 40 fre at 31.38 freq settings at 550:490:470 is safe

with super good plat psus at 240 volts I am not going higher but just work off those custom settings

Thank you in advance.

I can do 500:440:420 vs stock 450:390:370

I can set volts to 8625 vs stock 8000

I can set fans to 75 vs 20

I even did 525:450:430 with 8625 volts.

I have trouble at the 1225 gh mark not so much with errors or heat or noise, but the watts per gh go over .7

these machines like 770 to 925 gh you can get about .52 watts per gh

well, in that case i look forward to avalon making a larger, affordable unit (something rackmountable and <4U in size) that is similarly quiet.

S3 noise is the ideal for me - tucked in the back corner of a stockroom it is audible but not overbearing

They won't compete with the chips already being designed and the market has dried up for home miners.

Like which? And how do you know how Avalon4+ / Avalon5 performs?

Pretty sure this is the last unit they will make.

They won't compete with the chips already being designed and the market has dried up for home miners.

The end game is now they were behind the curve on this chip they are falling further behind price and efficiency wise.

And again I could fill my 3rd floor with miners as the "boss" but why? They lose money Avalon 4.1s especially so. No one in their right mind is hooking these up except as hobby at this point.

Nice product, but very overpriced.
Shipping for one piece (ehash) 0,6BTC? It is aprox. 144USD (if BTC 240) !! And almost no discount for shipping if more pieces.
(Bitmain S5 - 55USD only and if more pieces under 30USD)

For that price does not make any sense to buy.

The premium price is for the quiet it provides.
This is a great product if you have an office space with free power .

Put an s-5 in your office and see what your boss thinks.

Many places have a need for a space heater even in the summer. Due to Air Conditioning that is controlled by the landlord not the tenant.
My friend rents 20% of the top floor of a bank. He pays 20% of the power bill as he is a sublet to the main tenant .
He is underheated in the winter and over a/c in the summer. Right now I have 2 s-3's in his office they have been running since July of 2014.
I will replace with these s-3's with my avalon 4.1's in late May.

So this is a perfect piece of equipment for his needs.

You are correct that is costs a lot it is not for a big farm

not a worthwhile premium. you can make the antminer S5 quieter with a $5-20 fan mod and a little underclocking. The S3 is the alternative, and very inexpensive.

I want 10TH of equipment today, and honestly neither avalon of bitmain are appealing options

What would it take BTC price wise to make it attractive klondike_bar? 500$? 600$

Given you are likely getting pre-mined equipment I don't see why anyone would want to buy this or any miner. Home mining is hobby time and that would be the only reason to own any equipment. To tinker and play with nothing more. I don't think anyone or there boss is going to let you plug in Avalon or Ants in your office cubical that is just dumb argument.

My friend is the boss of his office space. So for him running 2 or 3 of these are not an issue.

I can see your point on price, I cannot argue that. But on noise I find it hard to believe it will match the avalon without more mod or cold ambient to help. I didn't believe how quiet they are till I got one for fun. I litarly cannot hear it in my room. I can hear my projector over it which is not a super loud projector.

Oh nevermind, I read your "you can make the S5 quieter" as "you can make the S5 quieter [than the Avalon4]".

Its a wording thing, he wasn't trying to say he could get the S5 quieter than .... 0 ...., but rather you can make the S5 quieter than a stock S5. There are probably 10 things in my room which are louder than my Avalon4, including my old monitor. Avalon4 is confirmed witchcraft.

Which fans are you talking about? Even modded the S5 is no where near the sound level of the Avalon4.

I had a good experience running the fan at 7V (comparable to an SP20 at 20-30%) and as low as 5V (Sp20 at 10-15%) when very cold air was used at the inlet. thats a 5$ mod at the most. otherwise there a few options for >100cfm quiet fans

you can get model b from amazon new in box.

I have one.

Was just looking for upgraded model 2 b for more power concept.

Also I am going to sell 1 or 2 of my 3 avalons and will supply buyer with a working rasp pi. So I had to have a second working model.

Are you selling or have you sold these avalons? I am interested.

I have 3 in stock running as I type. I made a commitment to sell 2. So I have 1 I did not make a commitment to sell. I kind of want to hold these for a bit, but shoot me a pm.
