+100 @ philipma1957

I turned handles "outward" and added a fan, FINALLY got these Tubes to stop with the thermal runaway. Also +1 @ friedcat "they" handled the RMA on my burned up board, no additional costs.

 Grin

Gee, I can't see why you guys are having any thermal issues at stock clock speeds. My 3 have been running continuously at 2.4T in the quite warm (90F+) mining area of my basement. With 1 fan, though the handles are pointing outwards. I hate to mention this, I'm only trying to help, but you guys are peeling the plastic from both sides of the thermal pads before use???  Embarrassed

I had to ask since my three have been amazingly reliable and robust so far...
The air coming out the center is as hot as a BIG blow dryer, and the chips are too hot to touch, so I'm wondering about longevity, but as long as they hash for six months I'm fine. Wink

 I remember a discussion about the fan arrangement and whether it should push or pull air through the tube.  I set mine up to push since I didn't want the fan and it's bearings to heat up because I thought that would cause flow issues.  I have had no problems with the stock fan in a push config at clock of 280 and my 2 tubes are getting 1.7 T more like 1.68 T.




I've got 2 with fans arranged as pull, clocked @ 290 Mhz in a quite warm 32*C+ basement with a bunch of other miners.  Getting the same speed as you on average, going to try 280 see if I get any better.

How did you get an RMA?  I purchased through Canaryinthemines's GB and can't get a response from him.  Did you E-mail [email protected]?

It has been 2 days and not a peep from anyone. Undecided

A full device consists of:

4 hashing units
4 thermal pads (optional, on demand)
1 to 1/8 ethernet controller (multiple devices can share one controller)
1 cooling kit
1 fan

Ok, sorry if any: can I buy one (or two) such "full devices"? Is controller included in package or I should order it separately?

The website is in Chinese a half, how can I use it for ordering?..

For small orders you must buy through an authorized reseller.

AM can find a reseller to stock parts.
C.mon now.
That's silly to ship everything back to China.

I have a board with one burnt out (popped) chip.  Would Friedcat/Asicminer be willing to ship me bare chips to cover an RMA.  I can replace the

bad chip myself.  This would be much cheaper to ship I think.

Do NOT forget..  When these boards burn up, it will cost $100+ to ship back to Hong Kong from USA for RMA. This deal keeps getting better... Angry
I think AM has a US reseller that handles RMA's

Is shipping from Europe,USA or from China?

CN

NO way buying from China. My customs will rape me. They need to open store in UK.

.... You'll pay the VAT one way or another. If you buy from the UK, the price will start 20% higher. I'm not sure what magical unicorn scam network you think exists that you can buy from which will allow you not to pay the required taxes.

+! This, someone has to pay the VAT somewhere along the line, either the reseller or the importer.

 OR you could move to the USA.  You might save enough taxes to buy a nice little house there too depending on the number of tubes you order.
