Any more word on the over clocking ability of these rigs? or what sort of upgrade will be needed?

pushing these to 2.5Th would make our returns that much greater!

this is from the BA site and they have also made it clear that PSU that comes with the unit will NOT support overclocking so you would need to replace that at least,cooling will also be an issue and if you start getting a large increase in rejected shares it maybe pointless.

 "It has been designed to be:

    Over-clocked with around 20%. Increasing the voltage might be required. If voltage is increased, the efficiency will drop.
    Under-clocked to obtain better efficiency you can drop the voltage. If the voltage is dropped the clock frequency will have to be dropped resulting in slower hashing speeds."


I'm aware of their website.. But "Designed to be" and actually doing is not the same. They don't know for sure if or how much.. At leas tnot according to the website. I'm asking if anything more has been figured out. Or if they know what sort of PSU upgrade would be required.

I also just completed a wire transfer for Minersource.net, what you also need to know is that bank of america (the bank that is used for them) has a 25 dollars receiving fee.  Also my bank (commerce) needs to know the address if its over 3K, which it was.  Luckily I was able to find it on the about us page on the minersource website.

Can bobsag please confirm receipt of my order?  I hope everything went through and my bank told me that it will be a couple hours before the money should show up.  I know your busy bob, but it is a lot of money and I just want to make sure.  You can PM me if you need order number, etc...


You should not have been charged any fee- our account has that specifically waived.
And yeah theres a butt ton of pending wires today, but as thomas said I cannot see the details till they clear.

Yea not a problem, I understand, like I said it was a lot of money and i just wanted to make sure it got in ok, but its cool.

I do not think my lady at Commerce had a good grasp of what was going on, while on hold with bank of america, (where I got connected to some indian lady who barely spoke english and had no idea what I was talking about, but finally settled on telling me 25 dollar wire transfer), she helped someone else and I ended up being helped by another guy who just wrote, pay all fees) on my application.  Probably could have been as easy as that in the first place.  Either way, it is only 25 dollars so I am not that concerned if I get charged anyway.

P.S. - one time a long while ago while working at McDonalds a customer asked for a buttload of hot sauce for some item.  I proceeded to ask how much a buttload was and he informed me that it was 7, so 7 wire transfers today huh.  lol Smiley
Commerce bank (TD bank) charges a fee for incoming and outgoing wire transfers this is a fee charged by your bank not the receiving bank.

Wire transfers the money transfers immediately however the details of the transfer don't, meaning the money can be seen in the account but the note saying this person's name or this order number don't show up for a day or two.

My bank needs street address in Wanchai, Hong Kong

This is my banks requirement does anyone know this address?

I had a similar experience with my bank here in Canada,they think they need a street number because the software at the teller has a field for city country,street address. We put
city: Hong Kong, street address: Wanchai,Hong Kong,Country: China and it worked no problem. The two most important things are the swift and account number.

I'll try that and see what happens.

Just as an update for anyone that needs to know I found on the Black Arrow Forums a post that had this:

Just thought I would mention to anyone out there wondering...when I sent my purchase to black arrow I did a wire transfer and going into my bank was relatively easy the one thing the bank was wondering about was a more descriptive address for the beneficiary. The only info they give you when you order is Wanchai, Hong Kong as the address and all the other bank info is complete.
However, the payment processed properly and the sales team at Black Arrow was very prompt about discussing the status of my order. I was contacted by Julia from the sales department twice since the initial order and she is doing a very concise job.
They also provide their full address in the emails in case there is any confusion at your bank.
This is exactly where they are located:

Black Arrow LTD
Room 1701, 17/F, Henan Building, No. 90-92 Jaffe Road
Wanchai

Although it is unfortunate i could not pay by credit card this process was a lot easier than I thought it just took a trip to the bank. Guess I could have paid in bitcoin but I really don't want to let go of mine right now Wink

He's not running a group buy, having investors back your purchase, and a group buy are two completely different situations. I'm doing something similar, people are giving me money for a ROI. and group buy who wants 20 should be told this. Getting investor's is NOT against the TOS FYI.

Chill out.

I am not telling him what he is doing is illegal, I'm explaining why ASIC companies have these policys in place.

I believe the mining corp was allow 250.. so not sure how the overall is 300, likely 3000

The number of X3s does not have a "hard" limit so to speak, more of a limitation of a number of chips in the batch.
