Topic: New 16 gpu industrial style miner review. Will post details soon__updated - page 4. (Read 2798 times)

shoot a pm to kjs  he is the man  that provided me the demo.


this is his profile

Any estimates on price and public availability?

I guess I take it at face value. As a legit question.

It mines alt coins such as zcash  you can hold the coins as zcash  or trade to btc.

here is a smaller miner  with less gpus
It is setup to mine at nicehash  which  auto converts to btc.  this smaller miner is earning 0.0010 to  0.0012 btc a day after auto vert is done

well like everone in  here the design looks great and doesn't take alot of space but i have some question regarding the mining rig, can this rig mine bitcoin and if it can, can it be better than asics or better just buy asics

Let's hope FedEx don't destroy it in transit.. they have a habbit of doing that to my shipments.

It shipped this morning weighs 55 pounds West to East coast comes tues

Fedex sent me a notice it ships on friday the 2nd of march.

I am stoked to review it.

That's a great looking rig... I really like the modular design and that PSU is awesome.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

Yeah I want to see how they run in less then ideal spots.

My garage will be hot.
It. Should  be good test.

hey i'm glad this review is happening.

I have experience with a few of these units and they are formidable.

cant wait to see the new review.

kjs  Has emailed me with shipping info.

I should get this on Tues the 6th of March

I am looking forward to testing it out.

Those fans were determined to be ideal for the application.

In v2 of our GPU backplane we have PWM fan support and will be using this in conjunction with 6 larger fans to run the fans at exactly the speed required to maintain the target GPU temperatures.

Yes, you gain redundancy from the power backplane as well.  In addition we have the ability to be able to power cycle the entire GPU backplane and GPU's from the backplane which enables you to recover from some faults that can only be rectified by power cycling.

The review is not mine  and  the reviewer states  temps are  under 70 c  not  at 70 c


He used Delta FFB1212SH 120x25mm Super High Speed Fan   and each one  uses 5-6 watts less then the
ffb1212she

since the gear has a lot of fans  you save some power over the one you mentioned.

now the ffb1212vhe  uses same power   and moves  170 cfm  that may be an improvement of course the gear will be 1 inch  deeper using that one.

 He may  do that when the more power gpus are available to him.

I will find the 70c reference in the stock review.

"From another angle, you can see the twelve Delta brushless fans that keep the 16x NVIDIA P106-100 GPUs cool. These are the class of fans we commonly see in servers instead of consumer focused fans, and they move a lot of air. Our GPUs were kept sub 70C without issue."

"The system performed extremely well during a few weeks of testing. We did not see any issues during our testing in a 72F / 22.2C data center."


See the two references. Temps may be an issue in an 85f room.  But don't fear when I run real world tests  they will be more rugged.  My garage will be 85-90f.  The solar array will be 90-95f   we will see how cool gear stays.

I also plan  to add panels  to direct air flow left and right sides and top and bottom.


fan images below

If you use so noisy fans (above 53dBA) why did you select 25mm thickness fans? Delta fan models like ffb1212VHE or even ffb1212SHE with 38mm thicknes has 1.5 times better airflow and air pressure than you use. Also about 70C degree GPU temperatures at datacenter conditions is not good especially for 1060 GPUs. What will be with 1080 or 1080ti GPUs that have 2 times higher power consumtion and correspondingly heat production?

   Thank you for your clarification on graphics gpu.
The Power back plane is a good option. Will you use it to create redundancy for the psus? Or just to allow for upwards of 5000 watts per unit?
My solar array with buysolar is not small and I hope to have it expanded  from a 1 ⅓ acre array  to 2 arrays of 1 ⅓ plus 2 acres.
If buysolar and I  do this the  dense option  of 1070's or 1080ti's  would be best for us.

I would hope nvidia continues to shift miners into specialty  cards such as the ones in your build.
This would help keep both the gamers and miners happy. I could see your build with the backplane loaded with a new mining card as it is rumored nvidia is trying to build a card line for miners beyond the one in the review above.

   I would love to  have a unit  with 4-6 psu's on the backplane running 16x  1080ti varients  using about 3200-4000 watts.  Each unit could have its own 20 amp 240volt circuit.  No need for pdus since the software allows  access to the unit world wide.


Oh to all kjs is the person involved with supplying  the demo to me.

 As we continue to iron this out via pm and emails I will hopefully get more details on this item.

The display GPU is provided directly by the onboard ASPEED Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) from the Supermicro X10SDV-2C-TLN2F motherboard.

We have recently completed development of the 'Power Backplane' which will allow up to 5 x 1200/1500W Common Slot PSU's to be combined into a single power feed.  This is to support up to 16 x P102-100's, or higher wattage GPU's (300W TDP each) once they become available.

This looks good. Do you have details on price?

It uses one of the best  server psu's on the market.  The  delta 2400watt that parallel miner was selling.

For that alone I like it.  It has  1 small low end gpu I think a nvidia 730(not sure)  so you can have a screen to view.

Plus the 16 mining gpus.  Does around  4800 to 5100 sols of zec.

This is the cpu. https://ark.intel.com/products/91558/Intel-Pentium-Processor-D1508-3M-Cache-2_20-GHz

It can use ECC ram. It has a  TDP of 25 watts.

It has ethos on a usb stick to run the gear.

This is for a medium or large scale setup.  Buysolar and I are  trying to develop a second solar array in NJ  this would be an ideal unit for us.

Our second array  will be 2 acres  and generate  30-40 kwatts 24/7/365  via tie in to the grid (NJ has good rules for this)

We can operate it remotely which  will be nice since it is about 50-60 miles from Howell, NJ  where the 2 of us live.
I hope to get this gear in under 1 month.
I will run it in my garage meter power use and sound.  Do a few  videos for my you tube channel.   I will then move it to the solar array do another video.  Get a feel for power use per sol etc.
