So far, 1/1 units appear to have significant damage upon arrival. Is anyone keeping a tally? Might not hurt to start one.
Also - You might want to consider giving them a call to discuss a warranty claim (i think they only warrant these devices for a couple weeks). At the very least, they can start to resolve the issues and they may end up shipping you a replacement unit. Sounds like they have very serious issues to resolve.
Replaced fans and what happened was that the plastic holding the fan in place snapped in shipping due to (and I am guessing) the weight of the fan and bouncing around in the box. The fans work but they need to be mounted and no amount of glue is going to fix that, lol.
Gave them a call and went to voice mail, emailed and nothing. Probably is a warranty thing but sure they are not going to deal with it. I was lucky with BFL wanting to fix fans but they are the exception. I wanted them to know so they can avoid this with other people who may not want to fix their gear like I did. Easier to avoid trouble then to fight your way though it.
I think so, I am now guessing that my unit is acting up due to heat. I have noticed it shutting down and then one I pulled the front cover to let more air in it seems to be doing better. Oh well, might need more fans, :-(.
Water leaking no, this is a closed system which has me worried but it seems to be working. I hope HashFast put the coolant in.
That's true...
HashFast's chips are about 3 times more powerful when compared on a GH per sq.mm basis.
HashFast is shipping with top-shelf quality Sea Sonic PSUs, so our customers won't have to put up with exploding/self-immolating units like KNC's did.
In addition, HashFast lined up an exclusive with CIARA, which means HashFast machines will be assembled and shipped with utmost expediency (no random guys helping load some random van), in professional/durable packaging.
That means double-walled boxes, so HashFast customers' hardware won't arrive broken like so much of KNC's did.
Finally, (again unlike KNC) HashFast has been working closely with ckolivas for a long time to ensure cgminer works flawlessly with our innovative new GN Protocol, Global Work Queue, etc.
Oh you with your facts, now stop that, people are hoping this stuff will all go away. Nice catch and cool find LOL.
