Great post, my fellow Texan.  Btw...Louis XIII is overrated.  There’s much better tasting cognacs Smiley.  


I don't think it's over rated at all.  Not everyone can say they've tasted the XIII and not 1 have I've known said they have been dissappointed.    I crack a bottle for every big celebrations and I celebrate very often.  Here's another bottle along with my Paradis.  Even the bottle and the box is worth money and all my guests fight for it.  I think the Hennessy Paradis is over rated.

Thanks for the support BSALEX.  I relayed your message to my buddy.  It will get change within a week.  He's going to be adding a lot more product soon including hard to get stuff.   It's always good to support Vendors that are not only sellers but are also miners themselves and care about our special needs / requests.


Now for some more EYE CANDY!!!  TITAN XP Star Wars Collector editions

Stumbled upon this too late, learnt a lot of lessons the hard way while building up a small tiny 160 GPU mini mini farm.

Wish I have the room/space to properly do it the right way!

Sometime to aspire to and I think I found my retirement job, mining!!

Thanks for the post! Every post, you learn something new!

Yun,

Thanks for the post! Your detailed thread (among a few others) were a tremendous inspiration for my project. I owe you a beer or two!

This is an awesome set up. I am starting my shed set up but I will only be starting with two miners lol. Thankfully my shed has a window for exhaust fan but I need to figure out other vents to get the air in.

Puts my puny setup to shame.

Dealing with routers dying now.  Anyone know of a good router for up to 500 rigs?

The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Pro will be the perfect router.  It can handle over 2 million + packets per second and it comes at a steep discount compared to Cisco.  And its much faster.

D3 ARMY!!!!!!!!!









Fun

Nice setup! How are you keeping these D3s cooled? Looking at doing the same setup with S9s in a shed... just lining them up on a shelf. Do you have a hot aisle to handle the heat?

For Mining not for Data centers so anything that is reliable, can handle many hosts and fast is good.  I don't think it need Enterprise level Routers but I could be wrong.   The consumer grade routers, simply are not made to do that well above 80-100 hosts and that's already really pushing it since they are design for home at 15 or less devices.

For that many "host" (500x mining rig) you do need medium/big business routers, the switching and routing capabilities of home or even small enterprise routers is just not good enough. Also when you consider reliability having for example hot swappable/redundant PSU's, redundant WAN, it's great to have, if your router fall, the whole operation fall.

You didn't gave me much infos to go with. But if i take what my rigs use, and multiply it by 25x to reach 500 i think a 4321 or 4331 should be enough and you can find plenty of used/refurbished/brand new ones on ebay. But if you also route your home connection through it, you will be limited in bandwith because i presume you have a 500Mbps internet at least ?

Maybe a cheap alternative like the RV340 (~300$) could fit your need, but tbh i'll be more confident with one of the above even the smallest one.

Been having huge headache with these Crappy D3.  So many of them faulting and ending up with slow hash or only 1 or 2 boards showing up.  I am seeing a lot of forums reporting similar issues but no real fix.  =(

yeah the D3 are trash worse even than the DS9

S9 is a 1 out of 4 failure rate, on my D3 2 out of 4

you need to use that new blitz firmware to reduce power use and heat on the chips otherwise the failures will increase


Where can I get this blitz firmware.

@Citronick - Dash will go past 1K for sure.  No worries on that.

Hey yun, happy to see you're still alive and kickin'  Cool, how's the shed going nowadays ? Smiley

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.
yun, i've read through this thread twice already, any chance you can give a summary of things you learned from this experience? i'm planning mine out right now (instead of having miners scattered all around my house)

How about he comes over to your place and does it all for you, how does that sound?

I use a lot of Deltas, so far no problems.

I hang them (with s-hooks) with exhaust pointing upwards.

This way I can push hot exhaust air upwards.

Very effective.



That is a sweet setup. Due to various reasons it fits our specific needs best to have all of our rigs contained and able to pick up and move the whole rig at once, but I really like the look of this setup for most miners, especially with the S hooks and the Delta PSU hanging that way.

Dealing with a warranty issue right now with Parrallel Miner / Centrix.  Do you think this is how you should treat a customer that have purchased over 400 of your PSU and recommended others?  They push the blame / burden on the customer when they failed to put stickers on some of the PSU instead of track via Serial # like everyone else.  They are the only vendors I know of that sells these 2400W PSU.  My previous go to PSU was the IBM 4KW bundle but they are harder to get these days so I went with these due to the flexibility and low prices.  However the 2400W PSU from Parrallel miner are very poor quality and I've had over 40 out of the 400+ failed, they are also very loud under higher than 50% load.   I only requested 20 of the PSU to be replaced because I knew chances will be very low to send in the 40 and get them replaced by a small vendor.  I was willing to eat part of the loss but seeing Albert's response really disappointed even more. 

Look at the response from the vendor.  Looks like they are trying to weasel their way out of replacing the PSU just because cost increased.  When you sell a product they always factor the warranty cost into the profit margin.  A warranty is only worth something if they're actually going to honor their promise.   It's just wrong to say we're low on stock or price is higher so you're out of luck buddy.   There was no credit offer or we'll help you this one time but "our new policy is, yadda yadda.   It also took 3 emails and almost 1 month before Albert would respond to me and only after Joseph from Centrix step in.

Is this how you want to be treated as a customer?  It is always cheaper to take care of your customer than to ruin your reputation and lose even more business thru 1 telling 10 and 10 telling 100 more.  I asked Albert to put himself in my shoes and see if what he's doing is right.  Let's hope he rethink the situation / resolutions.  This is not how you treat your customer large or small.  What's your take on this?   




I can't really comment on the Centrix situation, but now I am curious and will check my own Parallel Miner units to see about this "warranty sticker."

One thing that does help with the loud small fans:  add a cheap finned heat sink to the top of the unit (if space allows for it).  Finned aluminum heat sinks from China are very inexpensive through eBay, though they do take 2+ weeks to arrive.

Really fucking smart man! im gonna try something similuar!!
