1st one came with 4 cards installed and ran Pretty cool didnt generate any heat and i could feel a good breeze on the other side of the hall
what i've noticed was that later batches ( and i'll be checking my 3rd order when it arrives) started coming with 3 cards installed instead of 4 and run a bit higher..

I think they dropped from 40 chips / 5 boards to 32 Chips / 4 boards. Yeah it's got to work 20% harder so more heat/fan noise.

If they dropped to 3 cards, lol, that would be crazy! I think you made a mistake? Cheesy

Something i've noticed between batches of dragon miners..

I'm not sure what else to call it so i'll call it build quality.

It seems between the time i orders my 1st from
to the time I found a steady supply there appear to be a pretty substantial change..

i would have to think that they are removing cards and cracking up the power for whatever reason but thats what it appears they are doing..

on the flipside
if they are dong that we know that these can be overclocked pretty easy as that's essentially what they did in later builds.. by next project is going to be to totally disasemble these and install them in a custom rack so i can try and cut down on the noise.
