Topic: Official Thread: AMT - page 15. (Read 678353 times)

Wow, did I read that correctly?  You 1.2TH is consuming 2500 watts?  Yikes!

Works for me (3 higher than ^^). My now 1.1-1.25 TH/s Ant pharm (eating 2,496w) is tiding me over for now.

Hmm. Since FedEx accepted the package then technically they should be responsible for the damage.

Remember, if you do use 2 PSU's... you WILL need something on both PSU's to give the PSU a 5v load. Without something on the 5v rail, the 12v rail will not have a reff-voltage to stabilize correctly.

EG, plug an old CD-Drive or Floppy-Drive or any other device into one of the standard MOLEX (four prong "oooo" cables.) For the AMT unit PSU, this would be the raspberrypi as the 5v load. For the other PSU, you will need another device. (Find a nice 5v LED-light display, and you have a cool load to light-up the cards. )

P.S. An external 12v fan, will not work, as it does not use the 5v on the molex connections, though it may have a wire on the plug, it is not actually connected to anything. (It will say 12v on the fans sticker.)

You know if you have power issues, because some boards will run at abnormal speeds. If you turn the unit off, and remove a board, and the remaining boards run normal... or better... then you are running into voltage issues. The PSU is not providing enough AMPs, while it tries to maintain the correct VOLTs. (Thus, the stated above solution, or you need a PSU with more AMPs on the 12v rails, to match the cards draw.)

When buying a PSU, you want to mind the RAILs and the AMPs per rail.

+12v/+12v (2 rails) *may not be split correctly for 5 cards, 2 @ 30a each (great), 3 @ 20a each (starved)
60a/60a

+12v (1 rail) *better for 5 cards, 5 @ 24a each (ok)
120a

NOTE: Without something on the +5v load, you may only have 50-80% of that amperage on the 12v rails. Voltage will actually drop to 10.5v-11.5v once the unit starts running, on the weak rail, in a multi-rail PSU. That, or it will remain 12v, but be lower available amps then expected. Only 30a-45a per rail, in the dual-rail setup mentioned above.

That is just an example. I will know more detail about each cards individual "ideal power consumption", as my unit arrives for testing.

Probably not this weekend. We're getting several requests for rigs instead of full miners from earlier order numbers. And by default we need to meet those orders prior to later order numbers because it wouldn't be fair.

Yes, please send over the alternate address and we'll arrange a fedex pickup from that location. Again apologies for the shipment, we'll rectify this situation with a new machine asap. This really is the first time we've seen a miner have that damage.

If you'd like we can have some reach out to you and try and walk you through setting it up over the phone. Don't know who is available at 8pm on a Friday but we'll check.

Believe me, I want to get mining. I didn't want it damaged. Thanks for taking care of this. I am sure you techs can repair it and use the power supply, but the Power supply is red, and the back of the case is so smashed in it looks like its touching the circuits and that could be why.

We're still working and shipping out over the weekend, if you haven't received a tracking number today, it may be this weeked. What's you're order number?

We welcome pickups, if you'd like we can change your status to pickup and we can schedule a time to pick it up.

My Number is 1562

Received shipment.

Damaged box.  Not a lot of padding.

3 of five boards physically damaged.

Shoddy shipment!

Oh this is not a good thing. Damn for all that trouble I may as well go pick mine up. Im close enough that I can.

AMT_miners I am going to need to give you an alternative address, the one I asked you to ship it to but did not. (my workplace). Is there any way I can give you that address instead to pick it up? Also, they left this miner on my step without me signing for it.

I tell yeah.  All this AMT stuff does is make my PTSD go x10. Full overdrive!

Whatever the case it still does not release them from the obligations of what they have already stated. I am expecting a tracking number myself today as it is the end of the week (work week).
While I wish Jim well, there are other people in the company who can handle whatever it is needs handling. I think people would be more forgiving if it was a solo operation or the first time there was a delay. But that is not the case.

Hmm. Since FedEx accepted the package then technically they should be responsible for the damage. Just like the post office they have every right to refuse a package if it is obviously not packaged correctly.

Assuming it was insured for full value... ya might be able to get your money that way? Quest is, who does FedEx pay - you or AMT to build you a replacement?
