What ? another group by ?

If they drop the price, I will think about it Cheesy

Just one more ... Grin

nothing set yet.

1 = me
1 = herbpean
1 = ppoc
2 = biffa

we need close off buy 2 .

well bctmke paid me in full. Thanks for that.

and tlhIlwI has it marked delivered.

So everyone has their gear in hand.

This is like the group buy that never ends! Keep up the good work Philip! Hopefully the next round includes price drop for everyone.

Despite the noise, I'm liking the numbers on the Version 2 Avalons, so I could go for 2-4 if there is a decent price drop. If not, then I would likely be in for 1 more, as it's bugging me that I'm only a few THs away from breaking the 20THs barrier.

So far I'm getting roughly 11.5~7THs from my x1 v1 Avalon and x2 v2 Avalons. PDU says I'm pulling 16amps on 220v, so I believe that equates to 1173watts per Avalon. Not too bad for 3,900~4,000 GHs each

I got the notification the package was delivered... just need to get to my mailbox and pick them up

Good everyone has been delivered except for tlhIlwI

his is on the truck for delivery.

So with luck in a few hours all gear will be delivered and work.

I have interest in 4 more units so far.

2 to UK
1 to me
1 to New York

I may do a third buy:

I need the last one from buy two to arrive today.
I will need 10 units min.
I need to be paid for the loan on 1 avalon6.
I am hopefull to try to organize for the third buy.

Maybe this weekend

See if they are going to be dropping the price some to compete with batch 10 pricing & the 20% diff increase. I'm willing to wait if it means a few hundred savings.

Yeah Me too. I hope they will drop price.

I will need to make sure this one is wrapped up.

so when bctmke pays me for the loan on his
and when tlhIlwI's arrives.

I will ask kilo17 and Yan if there will be a price drop for a group buy three. I should know what is going on soon.

My Rev 2 is showing 12.1-12.2 and my Rev 1 11.9-12 with the same 4K IBM PSU showing 12.13V at the voltmeter.

They made a change with the voltage control in the Rev 2, not sure i'm going to push the voltage anymore.

Rev1: 3419 GH/S
Rev2: 3784 GH/S

IMO, it's really a good miner.

Phil, Thanks again for both group by ! Grin

leave it at 12.45 it is a safe voltage. you should be near 3650 with 12.45

I am at 12.3 volts and 3506 gh on the newer unit.

down the road I am going to visit putting on new thermal paste as I have the one unit out of warranty.

Actually, I had a surprise tonight while preparing things for tomorrow. I had a poor probe connection when I took the reading (it shows up in the video too)-- the max voltage I was getting from the supply was really 12.62V, not 12.45V! With a range from 11.5V to 12.6V these supplies are almost perfect for the application. I'm annotating the video to correct the error.

I'm running shorter PCI-E leads (only 8 inches), so I'll probably not need the full 12.55 to get 12.2 in the UI (less loss in the cabling). I'll see tomorrow.

Yeah I got more gh with mine. I have quite a few fans will try some of them.

Yeah the new Fan is clearly not as good as the first one sound wise.

I'm going to replace it.

The pinch isn't cool (Not that bad but still) vs the Rev 1.

EDIT: Right off the bat (2 min only) but pushing 350 more GH

tlhIlwI should arrive fri ------------------------ 1

Excited!

I'm watching carefully the discussion about louder fans. One of the big selling points for me (and my wife) was the quiet since right now I'm "winter mining" inside the house to squeeze some last profit out of my miners. It is a little disappointing to hear the fan was revised, but at the same time I would much rather have a v2 model with a higher hash rate than a v1 with a quiet fan. My miners will be moving back to the garage in less than two months anyway. The new fan can't be any louder than my SP20s are right now (at least I hope not)!

Out of curiosity, what voltage and hash rate can I expect in the GUI with a multimeter reading of 12.42V? The basic modification for my HP HSTNS-PL11 supply only goes to just a little below 12.45V, so I'm curious if it is worth additional reverse engineering of the supply to find another 0.1V range or if I'm only looking at 20GH or so difference at that end of the adjustment range.

BTW, I shot and edited some howto video for modifying the HSTNS-PL11 for use with an Avalon6 that I will upload to YouTube after I get one last shot with the supply attached to the miner. Actually, I'm thinking about making it the first video of a mining channel if there is any interest.

How louder is the new fan ?

I guess they needed the extra power since they hash a bit more then the Rev 1 ?

it is at least 5db more.

I have one set at
freq 500
fan 55

it gives higher hash and is louder.

I will do some fan tests the next weekend.

I just ordered x2 of the FFC1212DE fans from eBay and will post up once they arrive and I have them installed.

Phillima1957 - I just sent the last of the BTC to cover my 2nd Avalon. Please let me know if I owe additional and thank you for your kindness. It is greatly appreciated and definitely solidifies you as a class act and a true gentleman. Thank you sir! Grin

current value of the repayment is 1108
which is close enough to actual cost of 1115 with shipping.

I will give a trust to you since I sent 1 machine upfront on your word which does define trustworthiness in my book.

happy mining.
