That is the same sentence to cause me to think that fans are no longer included in the 2nd batch.

What software would I need to run it? Is it free?
What is the Hash speed for the firmware that will be installed as default?
Does it comes with fans installed? If not, is it needed?
Will be ordering one once these are answered.

I think this is all in the first post.  Software and fans included, ~380 MHash/s.  Can anyone report on stability?  I can leave my GPU's running for weeks or months even without any downtime - assuming no DDoS or power failures of course.  How are these running?

Are the fans still included in the second batch? The post on the first page only says "standard cooling system".

If they're not included, I assume those use 12V? How many ampere are they allowed to draw max?

Would one of this fans be a good choice to use?

25 x 25 x 10 mm, moving 3.4 m³ of air per hour
30 x 30 x 15 mm, moving 5.1 m³ of air per hour

But now he is busy shipping out current orders, and not accepting new orders.

I haven't had a single failure and I'm mining 24/7 since 19 Dec 2011.
And I changed the cores several times from stock to beta 190Mhz and 200Mhz.

But I don't know if all boards are the same or will run this stable.

If I am ordering one, shipping to USA, zip 42001.
How much is the shipping?
Is there a website that I can check the rates myself? I can read chinese.

about 25$

zhang,
I think it would be helpful if you can update your first post to include a question and answer section. This will help new visitors to this thread from having to dig through pages of posts.

A few questions:
1. What is the last date to order for the second batch?
2. When will the second batch ship?
3. For a FPGA noob, is the $569 all I need to get this up and running?
4. What is the 80pin TE 1734037 and 1734099 connector for?
5. How much is left of the 30 board for this batch?
6. Does the $569 include shipping fee? If not, how much to ship to USA?


1, unknown.
2,tomorrow begin to prepare, take 2-3 days to finish.
3,yes. with a pc.
4,no use for noob.
5,less than 10.
6,no. depends on where you live, and the package weight.  maybe 20-40$ for one.

ADD:
very sorry, i just contact the local EMS international shipment agency, he sad they will in the "new year holidays" until Jan. 10.
that means i will send first 10 boards to ship 3 days later.
 Embarrassed

ADD: first 10 boards all pass the test (mining for 1 week).
payment start.


i send email to pre-orders. but now i'm really in a email jam. so if you pre-ordered, but not received any payment email, please re-send a remind mail to me. really apologize.

1. Unknown.
2. Expected to ship after 07.01.2012
3. You'll also need a PC with USB and internet connection (ISP charges may apply)
4. For using those boards as generic FPGA development/evaluation platforms, not for mining
5. Unknown, but somewhere around 0.
6. Don't think so, may be about $35

I presume that the second batch will come with the new "beta" core preloaded, no?

no, will ship buy with a final released core.

Ah ok, I understand. Excellent Smiley The more MH/s the better.

Ngzhang, could you make a guide ( FPGA noob-friendly, please  Embarrassed ) showing how to update the new mining software?

It could be coiped to the github, for future users and future updates.

server, if you are also willing to help, it would be nice!  Smiley


i will do it, but now at github is a beta ver bitsteam... my original purpose is that who don't know how to use, then don't use (at this time).
still some small modify is needed. and i may write a guide. Cheesy
