Hi,

I saw that PandaMiner will come out with a new type of miner.

Can anybody explain how is this new machine better up against the old one? (the old one has 8xRX480 GPU, the new miner has 8xRX470 GPU, oh, and the power consumption is the same - as I read on PandaMiner's website)

Maybe I missed something?

Better for us primarily because its a smaller size. Its actually lower performance because of it being RX 470 4GB cards. Also, its more profitable for the guys at Pandaminer since the cards are cheaper.

Yeah, I know that. But they are advertising the new B3 this way: "Twice Powerful" ... Huh

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

Used Panda-PSU

Maybe the stepdown-converter failed → no fans → damned hell-heat

I have to checkout first.
Dunno if still anything will work.
The Cables have always been a little warm.
Especially if you look at cable most right, they do 2 plugs on same cord.

Yeah I was afraid to use the stock psu for any length of time.

wow .. thats nasty!

always had some doubts on that panda dragon PSU

you need at least 1600w and since this is a 24x7 mining, better get a server grade PSU

** I am using a old S7 1600w PSU to run the Panda and so far so good.

that looks like you have that unit in a heat box with no intake or proper exhaust. If it gets super hot that is what happens. Maybe i'm wrong but that looks very inadequate. I have 10 pandas and all have that power supply and I have never had that issue. You are right though, I still don't trust that PS it seems too cheap price-wise. I'm pretty sure greatwall is OCZ though and not having the switching technology from 120/240 probably cuts the price in half.

Thats a PCIe to 5 MXM expansion card/splitter/riser. Not many motherboards would support that, if any at all. And we cant even get the 1 to 3 splitter to work fully.

i never had a problem running 1 to 3 splitters working fully on any of my system . the only problem i got , its running 7+ gpu with splitters

anyone knows where to by these plugs ?

no but details would be helpful as to what you were doing to melt them.

Not blaming you but curious as to how hard you were pushing the gear. also what were you mining and what psu did you use.

As for getting them repaired you are not the first to melt a jack I can look at the forum

Maybe this member can help you

I think he soldered plugs into his knc gear.

Looks like we'll be able to build our own Panda-style rigs:

https://world.taobao.com/item/544785390901.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a230r.1.14.18.t29JEc&ns=1&abbucket=12#detail

Please someone share the link to corresponding MXM-modules available for purchasing.

I would like to tell you it is a nice find and for 142 usd could be worth playing with.

it is very nice.

it is off topic and I could say don't dirty the thread but I wont.

btw smOS is working well for me

Hello

Hi Phill and Eliovp,

if you want to adjust fan speed standalone;

many delta series fans have internal controller, so you dont need any voltage converter or pwm generator.
wires like this:

Red: +12
Black : GND
Blue: Tacho
Yellow: PWM or voltage control input (we use this pin like that - but i seen very cutted in your picture)

Yellow(comes from fan)--------10K Pot--------->to GND (black)
|_____^

this is a quick and solid solution Wink

also i need some info:
- can you backup your bios rom with this and upload for me?

- i need to know panda motherboard chipset too, you can get this info with hwinfo or cpuz,
i seen Pericom PCI-e switch ic on your pictures (expander) for extra pci-e lanes. but i dont know panda motherboard have chipset or any bridge

thanks, have nice days...

Thanks Eliovp.

By "getting them modded in China" I mean forwarding them the instructions from you for the mod and getting them to do it.

I am not really sure what is involved with moding from Pandaminers original Windows OS to your Pandaminer OS? Is it just a matter of formatting the SSD and copying your panderminer OS onto it?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Yup, that's basically it.

I did misunderstood you though. it's 400$ for the rom. Not the os.

Greetings
