Someone got already an confirmation that htey have receiverd the money by wire transfer?
Seeing how chaotic they do the selling I really don't think we will receive any confirmations.
Only the miners......hopefully.

Sent an email to Baikal about the x10 only having 3x 6-pin connectors and pulling 800W. Got a replay saying "you will need total six 6 Pin connectors to power one Giant X10".
Still not sure this is going to be enough connectors since each 6-pin is only rated at 75W. Anyone have experience with pulling more than 75W per connector?

Where is this six connectors they are mentioning? Unless that photo on their website is just a prototype.
I wrote 266 watts each board cause x11 is about 800watts according to their site, so divide that by 3 for each board.
Interface:1 X Ethernet
Temp Operation：0 ~ 40 ℃
Dimension：312mm(L) x 125mm(W) x 130(H)
Weight：3700g

only 3 6pin connectors
Yes, that is true.
I just received answer from baikal tech after asking that question.It has 6 x 6 pin pci-e
Looking at the casing its almost like you can mod or cut the top part of the casing to make way for some cabling and then add a second fan at the back to make a push pull airflow setup.

Your main concern being that the mother port ( on the baikal ) or the father connector ( the one from the psu ) will melt or?
Be a bit more specific and maybe I can give you an answer
Yes, my concern would be melting one or both ends of the connectors, or pulling too much current through the 12V wires.
With 6 connectors, that's 133W each, nearly double the 75W they're rated at.
That said, an 8-pin connector is rated at 150W, so 130W through a six pin may be fine as long as the wires are sized for it.
All I know is my 800W L3+ takes 9 and this 800W Giant x10 only takes 6.
You are wrong here.As far as I've seen from pictures and specs, the X10 has only 3 NOT 6.
Hopefully not...
That would burn
Well.....see from the specs on the website

6 pin PCIe connectors can carry more than 75 watts. 18 gauge wire can theoretically carry up 10 amps each. There are 3 leads that are +12V on the 6 pin PCIe connector... so theoretically 12V x 10A x 3 feeds = 360 watts.
No manufacturer uses that maximum though, but that gives you an idea of what is possible.
You are correct.
If we talk abou the 6+2 pci-e wires those can handle even more.
The main concern around baikal is: will those plastic connectors hold that type of energy / heat or will they melt ?!?

Yea dont buy from baikal, payment sent and they reply / said i am on 2nd batch..wtf! 
Ouch, did they mention to you of end of October delivery date before you send payment?
Yea and then right after send proof payment they said first batch sold out. WTF! They said MANY customers have same experience as me! LOL... so thats why who were here same experience??
Sounds like bait and switch to me. Probably only 10 in the first batch if there even really is a first batch.
Neeeah, it's not quite like that.
I've seen users around stating that they bought 2-3 units.
I've even seen users saying they bought the units with BTC or Dash transfers while Baikal stated they only allow wire transfers for purchasing.

I received payment info from them Tuesday night around midnight eastern time. I was traveling weds so I had my wife do the wire mid day weds. I sent them the receipt and my passport photo weds. They replied thanking me and said they would let me know once they received the payment. No talk about still being in batch 1 or not. I will let you know once I hear back from them. Anyone know how long international wire transfers take?
It really depends on the banks but usually no more than 2-3 working days
