I just found and read the manual. Says operation temperature is between 0 and 40C.

I own one of these and have been mining non stop for almost a week now. Everything smooth. Question: what should be the maximum operation temperature? I ask because I like to set the fans to 50% or 60% so its not too noisy, and temperature has been at around 30C (33C tops).

I think I read somewhere the limit is 70C, but I don't want to fry it  Grin

Dang I just stumbled on to this miner, it sounds so freaking awesome for home mining. Anyone know where I could find one? Alibaba is a bad idea, right?

Got it second hand from a local miner here in my country, who is upgrading to bigger rig.

Where did you get it? These things are pretty rare on the market. I have not seen any wholesaler sell these for a very long time.

Does anyone know if these are ASIC or FPGA?

I would love to see a full teardown!

I am too scared to tear mine down since it's mining so smoothly since I first got it. But I did find this on the internet, not sure if it helps you or is accurate.

I have one for sale here. The price is what I paid to Baikal in bitcoin 3 weeks ago.

Yep, I'm getting 1220-1260MHs on my chosen pool!
Hers a photo of my modded cube quad, temps are about 33 degrees celcius (91 farenheit)

Powerdraw at the wall as measured by my wattmeter was pretty accurate to specs as well, accounting for some PSU inefficiency

Thanks very much for the review!

Yes, when we first get a sample from our company, we tested it and find out the actual produced hashrate and power consumption is better than engineer specified in technical parameter file.  Wink Wink Wink I imaged it will be a small surprise for customers themselves to find out it. Wink

@allnewbie Correct order for turning on/off is from Top to bottom. Thanks for asking.

Any questions about Cube you can leave here, we will be gald to help, as well as pikachuy I think. Smiley

Thanks for sharing this, great review. Pictures are always best evidence.!!
I have one question:
Does the switch order of quad-cube miner same with quadruple(mini) that required from Top to bottom?  they said to me the faulty turning off/on will damage the machine on my previous quadruple mini miner order.

To be honest, I just leave them all on the ON position and control the power off/on with the breakout board on my HP server power supply because it has it's own switch. I know their website says "Be sure to turn on a miner when the switch is at OFF", but that would be hard to do if you have a blackout for example, because after a blackout, the power is restored with the Baikal all with ON switch anyways. So with me leaving them all on "ON", all 4 cubes on the Quad will power up exactly at the same time when any power is connected.

Side note: I have been powering off and on the Quad cube this way with all on the "ON" switch multiple times now, not sure if there is a limitation or not but will keep everyone posted if it does any damages in the long run. Not sure why they would mention to only turn on when switch is OFF, since blackouts/power outages are a fact sooner or later of happening.

Questions & Answers:

Where can I buy it?
   It is best to purchase directly from Baikal: http://www.baikalminer.com

Can it mine wirelessly?
   I am trying to figure out how to power up the antenna and connect to my network, will update here if ever successful.

What is the order that you should power up the Quad Cubes?
   From top to bottom.

What are the operating temperatures?
   According to Baikal, highest mining temperature is 70c degrees, over 70c, miner will stop automatically. Once temperature go down back to normal, it will start itself again.
   Recommended mining temperature would be around 30c-50c.
