Topic: Official Thread: AMT - page 183. (Read 678353 times)
I heard they were planning on shipping today regular cased 1.2's and in 1-2 days rack cased 1.2's, but I haven't been able to reach anyone over the phone to confirm it. I heard the board problems have been resolved for now.
so any one got any response what so ever from them in any shape or form it could be in a bird messenger or some kind of light signals ect .. ?
nope
you can trade MZC on cryptorush or mintpal. those are the two i've used.

AMT, please provide us with an update status?
Will any of us (Order 500-1500)receive our machines by the END of MARCH?
Any response would do at this point.

+1 and are we getting 1.5 or 1.2 unit?
Where are all the suckers who were told that they would be receiving a miner last week?
You talking to me?

Trying using some colorful phrases like "fuck you AMT where is my refund".

witht he delivery delay killing my direct btc mining profitability, the only saving grace has been alt coins. first UNO, before it spiked up and then dropped back down, and now Mazacoin, MZC.
shameless plug for the best mzc pool incoming.

that lil 80GH rig has brought in about .2btc in the last 36 hours. much better than the avg .01-.02/day Might actually ROI at this rate.

Where can you exchange MZC for BTC?

I'd assume they were Radeon cards (never been a fan). Perhaps since they have had a surge in bitcoin usage, production QA has gone through the floor.
ISAWHIM: I agree, one would think they would be using machinery to apply thermal paste/heat sinks. Just goes to show you they are assembling these CRUDELY by hand.
By the looks of the latest pictures, I don't see the same type of assembly line as seen by Bitmain/Bitmine. My thoughts are this is a half ass manufacturing process: so forget about consistency. I won't be surprised if there are many of the same issues with the newer models.

You should have seen the nightmare I had with my HIS-Radeon 7970's... half didn't even have enough compound to cover half of the chip. The memory used heat-pads with a cloth-center like duct-tape, limiting the GPU from having adequate contact, and the voltage-regulators didn't even touch the heat-sink, where they carefully crafted a place for them to touch.
Had to file-down the riser-feet holding the PCB board at the improper height from the heat-sink, shim and paste the VR's so they could touch, remove the heat-pad duct-tape from the memory, and then all was well. Saved me 18-20c in thermal transfer for cooling. (Those reference card designs still suck though.) Hottest ones I have running, out of all my designs. The heat-sink fins are only tacked-on at four points, with no paste or contact anywhere underneath to the heat-pipe vessel. Yes, a vessel, like a giant flat pancake... Horrible design.

it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to tear mine apart, cleanup the slop, and re-apply the thermal paste all nice and neat.
The way the board sit in the case, it completely blocks the airflow, so that's why mine sit up on top. seem nice and cool that way, so maybe they did a decent job with the heatsinks.
i'll see if i can find the pics of what it looked like before i cleaned it up. was pretty funny. you can still see a tiny spot on the top left chip of the board in the back. assembly dude must have had it all over his hands..... like a 4 year old.

very ugly, and very messy, and it was even on the side without the heatsink. yes, i cleaned stray thermal paste off the side facing you in the pics, as well as the side where you might expect to see a little leakage from when the heatsink was screwed on. doesnt affect functionality, just looks sloppy and unprofessional.
They should be using silk-screen or a rolling application for paste... Are they just gobbing it on there? (Spreader that looks like a "V" toothed trowel used for laying tiles, but smaller and made of plastic.)
Gonna have to rip it apart for sure now... Thermal paste is insulation if it is too thick. It is only supposed to fill the air-gaps between the metal surface and the heat-source, not be the whole transmission-point for heat to pass through. I can imagine all the air-bubbles in there, defeating the purpose of even having it on there at all.
Silver-paste and diamond-paste, here I come!
Might also add some pressure-points, since PCB's flex and bend under heat-stress when you use rigid screw-mounts to attempt to hold them in place against a surface that expands at a different rate. (Like aluminum.)
Nylon, man's third best friend... as opposed to duct-tape, and dogs...
LOL, maybe they should hire me, as a design tech... Seems they need a few lessons in thermal dynamics and design. (This is coming from a guy who just spent $3,000 on a thermal imager to evaluate a $6,000 miner.
Needed a new one anyways, mine was ready to retire.) very ugly, and very messy, and it was even on the side without the heatsink. yes, i cleaned stray thermal paste off the side facing you in the pics, as well as the side where you might expect to see a little leakage from when the heatsink was screwed on. doesnt affect functionality, just looks sloppy and unprofessional.
AMT unprofessional? well call me Sally!

Just thought I'd randomly check back here. Yup, the thread still reads the same as on page 3 and 4. "Are they real?" "They don't respond!" "They don't deliver!" "Scam!"
My 80gh is still hashing. Probably getting one satoshi a day, guts all over the place and I had to reroute the boards through my own usb hub because the hub that came with it was defective. I probably couldn't sell it but there it goes, hashing away.
I feel the pain of you guys who still don't have your orders. I hope you get something soon - a unit, or money back, or closure!

lol. i feel ya.
does your 80GH rig look something like this? guts flipped out, and USB cables properly rerouted.
they are great looking NOW. When the rig got here, there was thermal paste slathered all over the place, and hopefully enough was left between the heatsink and the chips. About 3 minutes, some 91%rubbing alcohol and a few Q-tips removed all of the excess thermal paste. Would that be technobit, or AMT's doing? guessing the latter....
