No switch. I plug into PDU that has switches and turn those on/off.

What happens if you plug them with the wires energized? When you plug the first and then the second.. I don't think this should be done, but given how some people operate their mines...

Next experiment; Would it turn on if you used two 120v from different phases (would it get the 208v from the two hots?). Theoretically speaking, of course, don't try this at home, in the name of science.

with 2 plugs, how you guys power up? any on/off switch on the psu?

Here's some more pictures/packaging. I may do another review like I did for the T1.

They're quite the masterpieces. Definitely loud, I'm a fan so far. Pun intended

Thanks for posting the images behalf of that user, and to the others posting your results. I'll update the Competitive hardware thread now that I've seen it, using advertised numbers.

Now I haven't really followed this much, the hard 240V warning for me is a no go unless I delve into hosted gear. Is the 2 plug option necessary or is that just optional for feeding the PSU from 2 sources? I just find it weird if you have to use 2 power cables, when the power draw doesn't appear to be that crazy even on turbo mode. I'm sure I'm missing something just thought I'd check.

Not surprised by the dB, I'm anticipating something like this for the M20 and am trying to build a decent dampener to remain fairly under the radar.

Try one of your s17s on normal speed and range at 80 dB.

The range on the meter is just the min/max it will register in 16db increments. If it's set to 80, it won't read higher than 86db or lower than 70db. I switched to normal speed and there's not much difference in sound compared to low power mode. Will be keeping it set there. I'm seeing around the same db as him with the S15 running at the same time. It only goes above 80db when the S15 fans fluctuate every minute or so and essentially same as second video. I switched the range in that video from 90 to 80 because it dropped below 80.

I have the same db meter. With an S15 and S17 running both on turbo I was seeing 90db. It goes up to 100db when the S15 fan speed spools up. S17 is higher pitched, but fans don't fluctuate constantly like S15. Changing S17 to low power dropped it 10-12db. I am going to keep the S17 on low power or normal because it's way too loud on turbo.

This is S15 and S17 in turbo. You can't even really hear the S15 over high pitched S17 until fans spool up:

He set his range to 80 dB and I believe gear is at normal speed.

Try one of your s17s on normal speed and range at 80 dB.

As I see specs turbo looks to be really hard on unit with not much gain in hash.

But this is not my gear as I was not able to order on in first batch. Since then I have decided to not purchase any new gear from bitmain. I will buy used s17 from forum miners, but not from bitmain direct.

Please note all photos below are from a forum member that chooses to be anonymous.
I host 3 s9's with him and he sometimes sends photos of his newer gear.
I think it is of the s17pro 50th model not sure about that.

I asked him for power numbers which he will email to me tonight or tomorrow. edit at least 10 days for power readings

Agree on the pools - I was just being lazy in setting these up last night in a hurry. I typically have 2 different pools list for most of my machines. I seldom bother with a third.

And on the orientation of the miners, I hadn't seen a direct recommendation of vertical or flat but now that I have these machines, I planned to rearrange my shelving to allow vertical because it will let me fit the machines better in my hot box. But good info on the heat flow, I'll pay attention when I rearrange them to see what the temps do.

... Also repeating the exact same pool url is pointless. If you want same pool failover, try the same pool different nodes. For slushpool you could use something like:

stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 stratum+tcp://ca.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333

This is just in case a node fails or something. If you only fill 1, that 1 is going to be endlessly retried anyway you don't have to repeat it twice or thrice.

Yep, and I actually use two nodes of the main pool for Pool 1 and Pool 2 addresses, and the third one I use is a different mining pool for Pool 3 address.

Got my first S17 Pro (50TH model) up and running. As smooth of a startup as typical with Antminers. Just plugged in both power cords and viola.

I've only tried "normal" mode so far and I'm getting 51 TH on average and about 2050 Watts measured with my smart switch. So right at 40 J/TH efficiency. The noise seems similar to other antminers. Not noticeably louder to me but then again I have 40 antminers running in my garage so I probably wouldn't notice. And I haven't tried turbo mode.

Edit1: Turbo mode results: 57 TH, 2500 Watts - 43.8 J/TH. Pretty impressive! And not really any louder that I can tell.

Edit2: Low power mode: 40 TH, 1540 Watts - 38.5 J/TH.

Below is a pic of it and the dashboard. I'll be trying the other modes when I get a chance.

Keep it flat and you are going to hurt the upper Asic board. They have to stand for a reason: Heats goes up, and you want the boards to have the same relative dissipation, not the lower ones dissipating to the top ones. Other than that, nice results.

Also repeating the exact same pool url is pointless. If you want same pool failover, try the same pool different nodes. For slushpool you could use something like:

stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 stratum+tcp://ca.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 stratum+tcp://stratum.slushpool.com:3333

And also feeding it from two different MCBs, even if they are at the same phase, is a bad thing, because the protection will not work as intended.

my pdus are all 1 phase 24/30amp since clifton is 227 volts 227 x 24 = 5448 watts so i think I can do 2 on 1 pdu.

Singe phase is good. but I will need mid setting not turbo.

yes, I would have to do mid setting as well, turbo would be too much. another reason why I contemplate sticking with the T15's lol.

I would be extremely careful with it.
I have not looked deeper into it, how they've built it,
but I just want to say that there is a risk if you have two different circuits connected from two different phases (three phase system).
---> Phase to phase short circuit.

my pdus are all 1 phase 24/30amp since clifton is 227 volts 227 x 24 = 5448 watts so i think I can do 2 on 1 pdu.

Singe phase is good. but I will need mid setting not turbo.
