Got the package Phil !

Thanks !

I will install mine tonight

Good. Ups to Canada 2 days decent speed.

Remember to pull the yellow plastic parts bag out of the box carefully.

More good news the four pieces to sidehack have arrived.

So only ppoc does not have his.

I am hosting his three until Monday the 25th.

So far all gear seems to be okay. Except for

1 four pin cable Yan sent extra
1 blue adapter I had one from my Avalon 4.1 setups

Lastly 1 rasp pi could have an issue.

Of course all three parts are in my hands as passing problems on is not what I do.

In running eight in my garage heat got high 90 f or so.
This may have caused my 1 flakey rasp pi.

I have a fan pointed at it along with all the other rasp pi's
So as a heads up
Watch the heat on the rasp pi's
Note the have a grill for passive cooling soo make sure the grill does not get covered.
This was the case with the one rasp pi that did have a few issues. I had it's grill covered since I flipped it and have a fan moving at it zero issues.

Sidehack had a delivery attempt made today

Thanks again Phil, Kano and Yan for making this GB happen....I received mine today and have it hashing away over at Kano's pool ramping up my 5ND...

Now if I can just figure out how to upgrade this Ras Pi IMG. Did we receive Ras Pi or Ras Pi 2?

The older model rasp pi uses the bigger sd card.
Everyone was that model.

You should use a quality sdCard 4gb or 8gb and at the moment I do not have the link and I am on an iPad.

That is not my main pc.

They are some links for it on this forum.

Don't forget Yan from blockC did a very nice job packaging and shipping.

here is top end clock using the dual 2000/4000 boards from finsky/j4bberwock

must use 240 voltss with this psu. but the avalon6 gets close to 3950gh
and two get close to 7900gh

note input is set to 12.73 volts internal voltage drops to 12.3-12.5 or so

how are you powering it ?

note the volts read about.. .2 volts lower then the psu you use. that = normal.

this gear is very voltage driven.

11.8 = 3000gh
12.2 = 3400gh
12.6 = 3800gh

It now reads 11.9

I am using a EVGA 120-G2-1300-XR 80 PLUS GOLD

@philipma1957, just want to say thanks again. Your escrow and following ups and keeping people in the loop is A+++++++. Much appreciated.

no worries .

was fun to do. but it will be a while before i do it again (wife is very tolerant but...)

after running a lot 10 and now 6 . rasp pi's get warm they may get flakey above 90f.

so keep that in mind everyone.

lastly

1 dead four pin cable

1 dead blue adapter.------ I had an extra one on hand

1 flaky rasp pi - could be the 90f garage .

pretty good results.

@ kilo17 are you ready to take avalon6 orders now?

and could you send me

A four pin cable
A blue adapter
A rasp pi.

thanks phil

@ BigRedButton good I am glad they arrived.

4 should come to sidehack today.

Last set of photos. Note do not do a setup like this biggest reason is it is not code.

This is for 1 week to 8 days.

I am hosting 3 units for PPOC for about a week.
So running them in my HT/den with the modded 2980 psu was not working.

I made a l6-30 p to 15p plug------------ not code!! but safe since no kids or pets

I attached a yellow 10 awg power cord to it.

ran the cord to my 90f sauna the attached garage is now 90f not code!! but power cord is 10 awg and not kids or pets

three avalon6's

open the door to allow for cooling with the really cold weather this needs to be opened about 1 hour every 8 hours.
note the black power cord it goes to the ibm psu

the ibm is under the moving blanket

the insulation board allows air to the stock fans.
lastly my ibm 2980 can not run 3 avalon6's it overheats considering it is a 3.1kwatt load I get it.
so 1 avalon is ½ ibm 2980 and ½ evga 1000p2 you can see it in the photo under the ibm

'The right to privacy matters'

Okay a few last photos. give me a bit of time
Every avalon box is placed in a foam peanut pack box

plug n play from power wart to avalon6
you will need a psu that does 1200 watts
you will need an ethernet cord for the rasp pi
