Hey Octominer, thx for the update. Quick question; my orders still show as "Processing" on your website, doesn't that update automatically? Thanks!

Hey guys, please update here if you have received any tracking numbers from octominer, I have not received anything yet and I placed my order on Jan 28th...
Hi!
Sorry for the delay with sending out the tracking numbers, we put priority first on getting all the orders shipped out first. Since we ship directly from China we had to work overtime to get everything shipped out before the Chinese New Year holidays start and all companies stop work for 2-3 weeks. Yesterday was the last day of the shipping deadline and we managed to get everything shipped out. We are working on uploading the tracking numbers today, many buyers have already received their boards.
Also, we will improve on our packaging in the future, we will add outer cartons and second layer of packaging. Currently the packaging factory did not have enough time to finish the outer cartons.
Happy mining!

My order was processed and shipped, but no tracking number.
Looking at some of the other comments, I imagine the boxes will appear any day now.
Ordered Jan 30th.

Processed and shippped? Mmhm mine still says "Processing".
Yes, I got a tracking number but it was an internal # and not DHL. I'm guessing it was for an intermediate carrier/tracker.

Got my package today. Haven't unboxed it yet.
Good to hear there are some people who already received their packages!! Those who already have their MOBOS please send pics with GPUS installed and say what model/brand is installed!! I am getting excited!!

Our motherboard arrived today as well. We also did not receive a tracking number, but it showed up today. This is easily the fastest shipping of any product from Asia that I have ever seen.

i ordered mobo on Jan 20 and received it today. Company is legit. They did not send me a tracking number either, but I received a phone call from DHL saying it was coming.

I ordered on Feb 1 and have not received a tracking number yet. My order status is still at "Processing"...
Octominer said they would send tracking number on Monday night/Tuesday morning (it is already Tuesday morning in China). Let's hope they keep their promise.

I got my board today...never got a tracking number. But, about 10 minutes ago got a knock on the door and it was was the dhl guy with my mining mobo.

Just phone pictures, taken in my dimly lit basement, I'm sure they served their purpose.
Also, I ordered on Jan. 20th, if that makes a difference.

Could someone please send me a simple drawing of this board's mounting hole locations.
Thanks!

I have never tried blower cards on any rigs, they may be ok with tight spacing?
Blower cards tend to be thinner.
February 11, 2018, 09:55:51 PM
The key will be to have powerful fans blowing air from the back of the GPUs towards the front (the displayport/hdmi end). You can also add fans on both ends for a push/pull configuration if need be. We are going to just set a nice 2600cfm box fan to blow on it, which I'm sure will be fine, but we're only putting 1060s on ours.

Can you explaion the "Sure you're not going to run 1080ti's" statement? why not? I have 1080tis in all my rigs right now, and was planning to put 8 in this one. OEMs regularly stack blower cards right next to each other and they work fine..thats what I was planning here?
It was based on my experience running 1060s on riserless boards. I need 4 extra 120mm fans to keep them under 70˚C (it's summer here) and assumed 1080tis with side mounted fans would be even more tightly spaced and harder to cool.
Keen to hear any actual tests though. I should be less lazy and switch some cards around. But we all know *that* one riser will play up because it was looked at wrong = more downtime than planned.

That's nice you like those boards and risers. Calling the Octominer product a fail is a bit harsh, sure they might not work for your needs but each approach has pros and cons.
I have two riserless rigs (not Octominers but basically the same form factor). I'd recommend nvidia cards with them as they run cooler. Sure you're not going to run 1080ti's (ok hybrids would be awesome but that's going to cost a shitload) but cooling 1060s is no problem with 4 fans extracting heat and 1070s are OK with intake fans and smart heat management around the rigs. I don't miss risers at all on them.
If you are building a bunch of rigs riserless are less hassle too – plug in the cards, ram + ssd, connect fans and you're away.
This board going to have massive problems with hot cards! Dont forget, the hoter your gpu is the slower it works. So single Sapphiere RX 580 Nitro+ can do 32.5 Mhs with ETH at 70°C it becomes more memory errors and need to be restart or it hangs in windows same problem will be with linux. What happens if one of the this china capacitors are dead? You need to send it back and your miner stops making moneys... =( Sorry Octominer but its fail!
I prefer this mainboards http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=886 and simple 008C Risers which I can change if they are dead it also cost less even with CPU and have 2-3 Years warranty.

What is "90 PLUS"? I believe I can make out a registered trademark vector on it as well.
If you are saying it is the efficiency certification, it is misinforming, because "90 PLUS" is fictitious. Which also raises concern to whether QT/QC was actually done on these high load PSUs, when such labels can be slapped on unqualified.
I can't understand the reasoning behind Octominer willfully imitating the 80 PLUS rating, like sellers on Alibaba, because it only gives your product less authenticity. Hope you can avoid using these techniques to market, as your fine presence in the forum and referred reputation from buyers would be genuine enough. Just my two cents.

I'm a little confused if my order will ship complete or not.
I got a notification that my order shipped, but I'm not sure if the motherboard is part of the order. Here's part of the email I received today:
When I placed my order on the 3rd, the website was still showing Feb 5th-8th batch as being available, so I placed my order and have paid.
But looking at the above order status, it sure looks like the mobo is back ordered, and maybe the PSU as well?
@octominer can you please tell me what I see on my order means?

All orders placed before the 5th will be shipped out right now.
It is just showing that notification because when we batch generated the invoices, we were using a new plugin and generated them after the 5th, when we had already changed the product shipping time to the March batch. All orders placed before the 5th of February are being shipped out right now.
