Would a S1 fan add any value to the cooling process?

Who woulda thought, two years ago, that we'd be considering Avalon a less evil option than Bitmain?

I have a few I'll give away if anyone wants one.

I know you think you're being funny, but I'm done/finished giving my good money to shady/sleezy Chinese Bitmain Tech m0therf@ckers. They takes your money, f@cks in your a$$, and you say "Thank you."  Y'all are Disgusting.

my question is. why the 1 fan all of a sudden.

If the machine could run well on 1 fan why have 15 batches before with 2 fans.

Is this in preparation for a new unit to field test with 1 fan. will be interesting to see how these function in a home miner environment where heat can be an issue at times.
Bitmain wanted to reduce the price as much as possible, so they made a batch with as few parts as possible that could still operate. Buncha chinese cheapos, but the good news is it runs at a higher decibel level but at nearly the same temps. In summer temps may become a problem but it works for now.

Logically, remove a fan means that the other will run faster to compensate, which will make more noise. (Knowing that, saw the actual acoustic level of the S7 with 2 fans, this increase a little more did not matter much  Grin)

The second problem more hassle is that it will limit the maximum room temperature. In the summer it may be more complicated.

Those which connect the ventilation ducts... to miner  will also have more difficulty because the pressure capacity is divided by 2.

I have several coupons that I will sell for .06 BTC. PM me if interested.

hi,
yes I'm interested but how does it work?
it is possible to use 1 for each machine?
2x antminer s7 = -230 usd
or
2x antminer s7 = -115 usd
?

AFAIK the coupons for physical Antminers are $100, the $115 ones are for Hashnest.

And yes, you can use one coupon for each miner.

Made to think about it.
The coupon can be used by others?
Anyone have a coupon it will not use to give me?
This is for the science and the test! hihi
seriously, It will be great.

This is an incredibly cynical move. This move is worthy of the shady Dan Ackroyd SNL character who used to market products with questionable safety profiles. Especially coupled with the coming northern summer.


 BM is essentially factoring in that the useful life time of this miner will be the shortest of any previous model.

In addition to the higher fan speed previously mentioned, with one fan, a failure of an individual chip heatsink would be catastrophic.  Now you have to wonder about how much of a fire hazard this thing is.

A potential cheap bandaid might be this ebay gizmo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-110V-Digital-C-Temperature-Controller-Temp-Thermostat-Control-relay-Sensor-/380665672071

The relay in this controller could be use to either power down the AC feed to a network switch or switch a relay which directly powers down the miner AC feed.

I also don't get the business case. So let's say you save $5/miner. Say the your miner cost is $300. So you are betting that any increase in this one fan miner warranty return is less than 1 in 60?


From an informational standpoint, this urge to push out miners and not be concerned about the long term reputational impact? Very strange.

I am one of the aforementioned fools and idiots who purchased an S7 with one fan.  And I'm probably going to get another.
I have them hosted so this is not an eyewitness account.
I have one S7 Batch 3 or 4, don't recall.  It runs at 4.724 Th/s and the temps are 61, 58, 58.  Never had an issue.  Good miner
The new S7 Batch 16 runs at 4.723 Th/s and the temps are 63, 61, 64.  Now it's only been 2 days, but so far no issues.
Are they saving money?  Of course they are.  Is the miner shit?  Doubtful.
Proof that there really ARE many idiots in the forum. For your information, the S7 miner really IS a piece of shit.

Then I have made a dreadful mistake.  Thanks for shining light on my error cheap talker.

Ya, guess I made that mistake too... but then I couldn't bring myself to spend twice the price on a miner that was just as efficient as the S7, on the other hand if I were buying at ~$1k per S7 then I would be leaning harder towards avalon. Mostly for better support of cgminer and the basic virtue of not being bitmain. But none of that matters because the S7 is ~$530 shipped to the US if you can snag a coupon on here and in the days of efficiency and cost being king there is simply no contest S7s all day
All you greedy f&ckers are being f&cked in the a$$ by Chinamen Bitmain, hope you njoy it!!!

Still doubtful about this new miner, keep updating us about it. I still don't trust this new "wonderful" price that Bitmain has given us, something smells awfully fishy. If there are issues soon, tell us about it. Otherwise i'll go fish myself a coupon or two and buy one, it'll be nice to put a few s3s out of my rig and replace them with a single s7.

Yeah but the S7 generates 2-2.5 times the heat of an S5, so that's by no means a valid comparison.


590-620 watts  vs 1300-1450 watts

pretty big difference.

I just think the fan will move at 5200rpm nonstop

 and people will need to downclock.

I would buy one from them at 560  but not 575.  My stock of add-on fans would work.

I feel the drop from 582 to 575 covers the diff and the price moves but not the missing fan.

price truly needs to be 560.  I have 34 coupons sitting in my account.

34? yikes, shoulda sold those if you're not planning to buy a s7. maybe the price will drop a bit more and you could take advantage of the situation.. or resell them and make a profit. people are buying for 650$ still on other websites like amazon and ebay Smiley hopefully none of these overheat or the fan isn't too loud, waiting for a few reviews and even then i'll only consider buying one of these.
