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.

I am a bit confused about the cost to mod a Hardware Pandaminer with Eliovp's Pandaminer OS.

I want to buy 4 Pandaminers from China in the next batch (Late March) and get them shipped to a Hosting company not in my Country.

1)How much will it cost to mod with Eliovp's Pandaminer

2)What would be the best way to do it? Get them modded in China or at the hosting company??

1. 400$
2. Dunno what you mean by "get the modded in China".. they don't have the mod i offer..

Greetings!

Found this step-down converter:

It can limit Volts or Amps.


Below 6.5 Volts the vice-versa running CPU-Fan will stop.
My Pandaminer runs stable on Win10 doing 238 MH/s.
Because it does not display temps, I've switched to simpleminer.
Here it does only 229 MH/s. Well, I'll pay the price for not being blind regarding the temps.
 

But this KSWW-36V-5A has maximum power 75W only.
Pandaminer fans are 0,8x12V x9PCS = 86,4W

eth Win10 238MH/s - what GPU frequency (core/mem) ?


That was my first intention too, so I ordered together with this one:
http://www.ebay.ch/itm/201419888781?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
But as you can see I did not need it.
My goal is to run at 9 Volts.


6.6v - 2.05A - 13.4W




9.0v - 2.96A - 26.9W




11v - 3.78A - 40.7W



11 Volts is the highest possible output.
Input from Panda PSU is 11.7V ( the wires are slightly warm)



Hashrate Win10 = 238 MH/s



Hashrate Simpleminer = 231.5 MH/s, but shows the temps

GPU Freq is 1145, MEM Freq is 2050 (Panda standard)
Even at 6.6 Volts the Fans can be easily heard from outside of my hobbyroom in the basement of the multi-family house where I live.
Of course the Panda will not stay there (As I have to turn it off now, when I'm down there in order to view movies and drinking Wine and Whiskey).

Hey guys,

i'm happy that there is so much interest.

A group buy would in theory be more than ok for me, doesn't really matter where the funds come from..

The only thing that's a bit tricky in my case is the way i license them, i'd have to create 10-11 separate accounts
Which is again some extra work Cheesy

But i'm willing to sit this out and see where it goes.

Greetings!


So 400 =  rom and 1 os

700 = rom and 11 os


it is more work since there would be multiple accounts not one.


so how about 770  for 1 rom and 11 os  the 70 extra makes up for the  extra work you do.

I sell 11 shares at 70 each   I  will  keep 2 for me.

If you think this works  I will start a thread today.

here is the new thread.

note please get back to me here and on the other thread.

I have 1 pandaminer.

I would like this.  But eliovp would need to approve.

I have 7 four card rigs and the pandaminer lastly 1 one card rig.

I run the four card rigs and the pandaminer on simple miner .

I may handle all funds. And do what would be need to dish the software out.

But eliovp would need to approve.

Phil - maybe it is better to create a separate topic?

True but eliovp has not told.me he would do this. So it is a mute point.

Have to say the miner is working well . I can control the fans very easy. The noise level is decent.

i hope PandaMiner B1 with 4x rx480 is released and reviewed too..maybe i'll try one

if PandaMiner B1 Plus (8x rx480) did not last long, that's the value of ~ 8x rx480 going to waste..

I am thinking about group buy for Pandaminer OS with modded ROM from Eliovp.
Many people have only 1 Pandaminer. And for them it is expensive to pay 400USD, resp. plus 10*30USD.
It could be useful to join for buying 11 licences - 400USD (1 licence incl.) + 300USD (10 licences x30USD).
Is there anybody who is able to organize such group buy?
pls write interest and how many Pandas you have?

me - only 1 unit

I would be interested.
1 Pandaminer

It is a good idea. But several things should be clarified.

1) I si OK with Eliovp?
2) Shipping from China and then to buyers

Organizer of this group buy should be very reputable person.

2/ i am thinking only about buying software (Pandaminer OS) with modded ROMs (not hardware from China)

So you like it with the simplemining linux?

How about a photo of the new fan controller and the new psu.

Here it is
about 5700 for 8 miners

power supply set at 9 volts


I bypass the mobo to power the fans no hole is drilled Grin


this is a msata case it houses the oem msata that came with the gear. a new samsung msata is inside the pandaminer



I am allowing garage to get hot 90.9 f   with fans at 9 volts



and the pandaminer with controller set to 9 volts is cool in a 90.9f room

Okay  I am finally  getting to this review after a about 5 days off.

I purchased this psu

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182384

Had a coupon final cost 256.

I am running the pandaminer at simplemining.net

note the temps are accurate. 
the fan reading has no meaning
I found a quality adjustable power supply my fans are acceptable noise and I can run the fans at 9 volts
