Just found out for sure what batch number the S7 I bought online last night is. It's a batch 16 with one fan.
I wasn't expecting that.
I guess I shall find out how it performs and if it needs extra cooling.
As long as it puts out TH without temp issues, I'll be fine with it.
edit: Anyone else on here have the batch 16?
I have two. They run 10-15C hotter than the B9 I've got, 10C hotter than my S2, and 20C hotter than an S3. I've a bunch of ambient CFM pointed at them, and they're running a consistent 70-79C on all three boards. They're also at least 15db noiser; the fan runs at 6K rather than the 4K on the earlier 2-fan models. Watch your temps for a couple of 24hr cycles just in case. They're mining just fine, though. Will be ordering two more in a couple of days before my coupons expire. That'll max out my flat for sure.
Thanks a lot for the info on the batch 16. I was wondering how they would do temperature-wise. I have two other S7's - I think they are batch 10, but not sure all.
I have a small AC unit pointed directly at the air intakes and a 20" box window fan to suck the heat out of the room. With them both over-clocked to 725MHz, they are both running in the low to mid 50C's.
I will have to do some rearranging in the miner room when the 3rd one gets here probably Wednesday or Thursday.
I want to make sure the 16 will get it's share of the AC flow. Louder won't both me as they are in another room with a door between the rest of the house.
You may have noticed my posts earlier about having to drop my rentals because of the pools bad luck. Right now I'm getting a little over 10TH between the two miners I have, so it will be nice to be able to add a little more hash of my own.
Are you running the 16's at 700MHz? I will probably let mine run at that level until I see how the temps look over a week or so.
Again, thanks for the info! And,
LETS GET SOME BLOCKS!!!!
