They have been converted - emails should be sent from BA here in the next few days.
Please confirm mine for batch 2

Everyone who has PMed me the necessary information should have gotten a PM back from me accepting them.
Please note that if you PM me asking to be moved to chips, its final, and after the order has been converted I cannot convert it back.

When I spoke to you on the phone, you said to E-MAIL you my request to have my order for 3ea BA X-1's converted to chips, and that my order #2554 would be converted to chips and sent on to Marto at Technobit. I've not received confirmation and when I E-MAIL minersource, Thomas sends me a link to this Forum Topic which is fine if I was wanting to make the move today, but I'm hoping my "move" was made 3 weeks ago and I'm about to hear happy news from you and provide my CC info to finish off the deal. Can you give an "old fart" a little more support? On the phone I thought we had everything worked out and priced to fit my budget. Help? Please? This Forum stuff all seems to impersonal, but you've suspended telephone support?

Are there holes so we can use standoffs to stack these somehow?
According to 2GOOD's pre-production review, the final models will have:
"Keep in mind that I have a pre-production unit, the final revision will have special holdings for the bottom fan and the 4 "legs" will be at the corners of the board with the option for stacking. Also the boards will be shipped with custom made (lower) stands to attach the CPU cooler."

No worries, good luck with it, it sounds messy, but I've read a dishwasher works wonders when you pull boards out.
So your plan is: Immerse 5 boards with passive finned blocks on chips in mineral oil and then have 2 pipes with pump leading to the tank. Pipes going through an auto radiator/fan?
About watercooling: if you buy square copper waterblocks, they are universal, can fit on any chip now and in the future. The blocks are the only difficult part. The rest is Vinyl tube -> solvent welded PVC pipe manifold -> rubber auto hose -> radiator/fan.
The is the route I will be taking (water cooling) for a few test boardsNo worries, good luck with it, it sounds messy, but I've read a dishwasher works wonders when you pull boards out.

Pretty much the same here. Looking forward to getting these guys in hand to start messing.
Thomas and Bob,
I have confirmed my batch 1 chip conversion with BA through email (after they send me an email to confirm this) on the 14th, but considering their track record im a bit concerned..

Bobsag,can you give us an update over on ecointalk,I need to deside what to do and it depends alot on when you are getting your units shipped. X-1s and I asked for a BA X-3 order to be transfered to MS but have not gotten a replly from,neither has MS as far as I know.
Have you managed to transfer my last two to y_boonstra cheers.

Nothing new about mineral oil cooling computers. You dont even have to submerge the components to take advantage of the cooling effect. You just have to have it flow over top of what you are cooling.
Is someone planning to mineral oil cool a HEX4M?
That would not be sensible, the only advantage of mineral oil cooling is that you don't need to make cooler blocks, you can stick whole board in because oil remains non conductive. I think most people do it for gimmick aesthetic reasons ( fish tank setup with lights etc )
With constant 400W for each board you would need a large oil volume or you would need to employ a radiator/fan/pump setup and so are back into plumbing, may as well employ blocks then and just use water.
But to answer it mildly. Yes I will be testing 5. I realize I lose warranty on them, and will start slowly to see what is needed. I already have the tank. Just a matter of dunking them, and watching temps, and how much heat they moving.
I am by no means an engineer, but this aint my first rodeo.

Actually, your wrong. First off you still want a block to make the heat dissipation larger.
Second a pump aint shit, just move the fluid consistently.
A car radiator with an adequate fan can more efficiently cool. If the shroud is setup right. It can easily run in 90-95 Fahrenheit so long as the pump and fan are working their ass off.
Hell in a small situation, just go get a motorcycle radiator. Depends on the needs totally.
Watercooling would not be efficient. You would have to engineer over half the parts, and if you did so....
Let me put it this way, there is no way in hell I would waste my time doing this as I could have made more money simply trading!
Dunk em. It's easy.

ditto, I feel batch one went through on a timely manner but batch 2 is taking much longer....
Maybe its just a lack of updates

When does batch 2 close.
