I ordered one last monday (this week), I'm in the UK and have it hashing right now.
I did a stupid thing, I sent payment direct from my account on an exchange. Realising what I'd done plus the bitcoin payment address they provided seemed to had been used before I realised I had little means to prove I paid... thankfully rather than paying roughly 0.99567888 btc I simply paid 1 btc.... I emailed support straight away and within an hour or so they replied saying they had payment and it would be shipped soon.
Shipping was A-ok via DHL... in fact while it was still in hong kong I got a exercise and duty payment request... which was a fraction of what I expected to pay.
When I got the rig today I checked every step of wiring it, even used a multimeter... guess what? I wired two out the four power plugs BACKWARDS! Good news is the unit seems to be protected against this so once I corrected the problem all was OK!!!
I can confirm the unit is around 1 watt per GH/s and at stock clocks hits around 620GH/s.
This hardware combined with their customer support made it a fantastic buy.
I've even sent them a thankyou email :-)

at 350mhz this unit is hashing at 700GH/sec!
power consumption at XFX 850 Core Bronze+ (not modular, cheap one)
only 780W
nice

Damn, 1.111w/gh not bad.
What's the poolside hashrate like? I'm worried about the error rate of these chips, especially since there's not an easy way to see it.
Also how's the heat output of the unit? Heat sinks still staying reasonable?
I'm also curious to know how he managed such extreme OC. (Maybe ignoring HW errors?)
I tried 330mhz but HW errors brought the hashrate down to ~280ghs. 320mhz seems to be the sweet spot for my machine giving me an additional 5-10gh without additional HW errors. (only tested 310,320,330).
stand fan blowing cold air directly at heatsinks
but chips need more juice, i got 650gh reported from pool side
better to keep at 330 and have 660 gh pool side.
any hints how to change voltage little bit?
thanks.

I'm not home but my miner finally got to the DHL pick up place.
In all for me it took 9 days from the day I ordered & recieved
payment confirmation to receive my order. Will be glad to see
how the setup goes.

I placed my first order with BTC Garden 2 days ago.
Is it normal to still see no updates on my account for payment and shipping 2 days later?
I hope to place another order this week.
Thanks
Rob

have you paid for your order ?
have you received email about order?
if not contact with customer service, ask about how much you should pay, pay and wait for shipment.
dont worry they are not scammers.

only four 6pin connectors

How many 6+2-Pin Connectors are needed per ~600GH/s device?

How exactly do you overclock these?
I am guessing it's not "chip_select_delay" from the webui?

"--btcg-clks 310:3000" in /var/www/run.sh
change the "310" to desired clock speed, stop cgminer in web interface then restart it.

If you have a power supply that will deliver enough juice I'm curious what 350mhz will deliver.
I cut down to 320, 330 was stable but pushing my 750w supply to draw 745w from the wall and that's cutting it too close for my liking.

Looks like anything above 310 is disabled with the newest RPI image (07-19). Does anyone have a copy of the older image they could host?
Sure thing. This is the 07-05 image as downloaded from BTCgarden. What I'm currently running.

The dell 750s are good up to ~850w from the wall each, so Ill let yall know

I clocked to 330mhz by editing /var/www/run.sh
Got to 657gh for 2 boards up from 623. Power draw at the wall went up 40watts to 745.
I want to try 350 but I only has a 750 watt PSU. Perhaps I'll upgrade after all.

I was going to order the miners, but damn the shipping to Thailand cost $200?
It's $90 for one miner. not that expensive
I try to order the $520 one, but when I was gonna place an order, it said $200 for shipping.
Not a problem. You can count it $610 for yourself when make payment.
Order #100000057 Paid, please check
Could you send email or pm transaction that you paid. So that we can identify your payment. Thank you.
