Looks like I have a big plate of crow to eat! Fantastic looking piece of kit. I still don't see the point vs building your own 7 or 8 GPU rig, though. Especially when it comes time to sell the hardware or upgrade.. But this is good for quick deployment and people who are clueless when it comes to building a PC.

'The right to privacy matters'

First thing it is a beast.

I went on one of the other pc's and loaded clay 9.3 onto a usb stick then put it on this machine

running clay 9.3 with ssl and I am doing 8 x 217 = 1736

the watts at the wall with the evga 1600 g2 = 1062

so for zec you could get away with the evga 1300 g2
I suspect you need the evga 1600 g2 for eth.
this has 8 4gb gpus rx 480's

I did get a 240 volt only psu with it. that is supposed to be able to run it.

I will f with that over the few days.

It is late and I am going to crash.

I have part english on this. I may not be able to full choose english.

I am not going to f with the windows 10 ssd as I do not want to erase any important info.

9.3 is 1736 h 1062 watts
9.1 is 1630 h 1033 watts?

This is fucking genius the jacks do not allow you to reverse the pcie cable
absolutely brillant

find the person that thought of this and make this on all miners!

Here it is doing clay 9.1

Language switch is harder then it looks

so many photos

some test gear and top view

shot of included psu

the left hdmi is gpu the right hdmi is mobo only 2 usb's not 3

a third one would be nice to allow for software upgrades eth jack and not tiny power button

you need a stick to push it note leds are dark even though I turn on psu

Fans fire up when psu turns on for safety no over heating.

once I pushed the power button leds lite up.

I struggled to get an image on the sony tv using a hdmi to hdmi cable

note all leds lite up it is working

Since every noise db meter is different, how is it in noise compared to an S5, S7?

s5 s7 s9 all are hasty pitched

this is better. if I wanted to I could run it in my garage

aka ...

Why not make a clean win7_64 install ?

If I would be panda and chinese, I would be afraid of loosing my face, in this "language" case.

The producer decides about the market of his (alpha?) product ^^ .

... just my 2 cents.

Cool

Chinese windows 10? Dam.. nothing worse that hunting for the change language section when its nothing but crazy symbols!

Look forward to the report though.

Quick question what model of DB meter is that you have there?

the meter is a sper scientific 840029.

this seems to have 4g cards that do about 205h each.

it is a fucking monster .

20 inches wide and 8 inches deep 4 inches high.

'The right to privacy matters'

I locked this thread.

I do not think PandaMIner is good to buy from.

Some thanks to nu2mining his posts here on this thread annoyed me at first since I still was stuck on Chinese version of the

windows 10 enterprise 2015 LTSB

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/panda-miner-using-pirated-kms-activator-for-windows-10-1735560

I am striking the info below it is not up to date but I want it to stay intact. Please go to link above if you want to read more up-to-date info
on the windows 10 enterprise LTSB software in the pandaminer.

I am not a lawyer and do not pretend to know the law.

But I think this is very gray.

I AM TELLING MICROSOFT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PAY FOR A SINGLE PC CODE THAT ACTIVATES THE WINDOWS 10 ENTERPRISE LTSB 2015 ON THE PANDAMINER WHICH SOLVES ALL THE ISSUES WITH THIS OS ON THIS PC.

New info linux works on this!

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17373579

But he was spot on the version on my pandaminer looks to be not a legal version for usa use. which was why it may have been so hard to convert to english. nu2mining started a thread. i kept doing research and found a site that spoof windows they give you an activation code and tell you what to do with it. The code they give matches the code in my pandaminer which means I have a boot leg windows 10 at least for the USA. I do not know any laws in any other countries.

Update to windows 10 on my unit.

For now I am halting review.

Here is why

I photos of my activation attempt.

My pc activation code has the last numbers -76DF9

And screen shots of a way to spoof windows activation with kms

So any one buying this gear needs to understand that there is an issue with the windows 10 enterprise ltsb license

note the code in my pandaminer matches the code in the tutorial on spoofing activation

note the codes match each other.

For now I am halting review.

Until I get a new msata and load a new windows 10

Edit
Just getting thread ready for to night.

SO far I have this psu coming today

The EVGA 1600 g2

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MMLUIE8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?

The pandaminer has left Cincinnati and I will get it later today.

teaser I will do much more in the next few days

The unit arrived late on Friday.

I am using an evga 1600 g2 power supply and usa 120 volt power.
I am using a kill-a-watt meter.
