Visiting Terrahash this Monday around 10:00am PST.

You mean coming Monday? Can you ask to see their assembly line where they will be putting together chips and boards?
Because if they are sticking by their two weeks turnaround, the assembly line better be ready by now as chips are incoming.

Take pictures of the chips that would truly impress me if you get 40k there, or even 20k.

Yes take pictures of the chips that they don't have yet.

That would impress me too!!

Ok, on PS issue,
what does everyone thinks of this one?

I am looking to power 3 or 4 K64's and 2 K16's
Maybe even run my starter kit from BitFury.

Thanks

sorry, this is a little late and I'm sure you've already made your choice, but the comment about "I don't care about power $ or noise" prompted me to drop my 2 cents in here...

I just recently bought one of these seasonic 1000W platinum PSU's and I absolutely love it so far (will have to wait 7 years to see if it out-lives its warranty, lol)

For me, $ was also not an issue, and this is not a cheap PSU, so I'm sure there might be a better value for the dollar. But when considering the cost and availability of a power supply vs the kind of hardware we are powering, it does not make sense to me to skimp on a PSU... Also, heat and efficiency (they kind of go hand-in-hand) are a big deal for me, and this PSU is simply excellent in that regard.

I cannot recommend any other PSU as highly as this one. If anyone has an opinion of a better 1000W (or higher) PSU, please bring it to my attention. Thanks.

On this page I saw that this PSU has no 6-pin PCI-E connectors which are needed to power K16. Or did I miss if it's somehow possible to make a 6-pin out of 8-pin?

Yes, those 8 pin connectors with the * beside them are all 6+2 connectors and can be used for 6 or 8 pin needs.
You should be able to power up to 6 devices that require pci-e power provided it doesn't exceed the rated 83 amps or 996 W draw on the 12V rail.

So, has anyone gotten any confirmations that the chips are definitely on the way? Or is it a speculation at this point.

No power in the 'verse can stop me.

Does anybody know the heatsink dimensions yet? trying to plan out how I will mount these. if not, could you add that to your list of things to find on Monday BG?

Buy a splitter 8> 2 x 6 pin, and BKK says best to use 24 guage wire if possible...

May 10, 10 k chips
May 18, 10 k chips
June 20' 20 k chips
Total 40 k

But terrahash said they have secured 2 additional early may orders. so total chips before may 16 (maybe 18?) is 40 k.

Terrahash has a total of 60 k chips? (40 k before may 16 and 20k June 20)

Just sent out an email. We have secured two additional early-may orders of Avalon ASIC chips. We now have 40,000 chips (all ordered before May 16) which are enough to process all the orders that we received during our pre-order opening. If we get the Avalon chips by the end of this month, we will ship out all the orders by Mid August.

joe, where did you come up with TH order dates for your other thread? If this is right then all chips should be in by mid-August? Did I miss something?

Here is where I came up with the order dates, in this very thread back about 6 pages knightlife999 visited TH and took pictures of the invoices.

Here is the link:

I believe you did miss something in that the last order was placed more than a month and a half after the first order so thinking they will all be in Mid August may not be practical.

I could be wrong. And likely TH will not tell us everytime a new chip order shows up

this is nice

so what is chip count in each order? Th 1 is 10k right? then 2 = 20k and 3 = 20k? but what or where is the 20k chips they bought from someone locally" that they paid a premium for coming from,,,in otherwords,,whos batch did they buy and when was it ordered? lol..still a mystery?....again they said they had enough coming in to cover ALL pre orders in time,,,so Shocked

I can refer you to the photos of the invoices that were posted last week for the counts of the orders.

Sorry still don't know about any mystery locally purchased chips.

Never heard such a thing sorry

Hi Joe. I've got some information for you about the 20k chip local buy. Amir told me about the additional 20k local purchase during my first visit and we talked about it for a moment during my 2nd visit. What I was told is that they bought 20k chips from an individual in the Bay Area and it's an order placed in early May. Amir said that they paid a premium for the extra chips to make sure that everyone's order would be in "Batch 1". He told me that everything was on schedule for them receive those chips at the same time as their own May orders. He also noted that they felt most of the April/May Avalon bulk orders would be shipped at the same time. I don't have any additional information beyond that.

Thanks KL for clearifying that for us,,,,I knew that was what was put out there to us...maybe via you,, so for now I am banking on what you were told

by the way, If i didnt thank you for your 2nd trip..Thank you!
