each of the two PSU draws only 220W on wall! With only 440W I can get 940GH

That is the lowest I have seen.  Wow that is a impressive under clock.

And the amazing thing with SP20:

each of the two PSU draws only 220W on wall! With only 440W I can get 940GH, e.g. 0.47J/GH on Wall. A 20nm very efficient Knc Neptune running 3.3TH at 1900W on wall, that is barely 0.58J/GH. And SP20 at 1.4GH draws around 800W, on par with Neptune, it is definitely a nice choice given the current market price of $659 per unit, very well engineered product!

Naturally, I thought the PSU is not enough strong, so I took another 1300W PSU and tested, same fault

Then I saw on "Settings" page, I could select "Basic Voltage settings" and then pick the "slow fans, medium rate" option, restarted miner. Immediately it hashes at 1.4 GH!

So I think there is a bug in that advanced setting page, it does not recognize the PSU even I put 120 in all of the fields, and by using basic voltage settings, all those fields turned to 1100

Then I reduced all the voltage to 0.6 and the unit run at 940GH/S, ASIC stats looks like this

I have only two spare 500W PSU left from old time BFL singles bundle (They were so generous at that time that they even delivered a PSU with their unit, I never used them Grin)




I hook them up, started miner and went to the Settings page, lowered all the voltage to minimum (0.58) and filled in 200 in all 4 field: "Max PSU Power Unit 1 (70W - 288W) ", and restarted miner. It turns out the miner only runs at 370GH and by looking at ASIC stats page, two of the ASIC loops are not working:

The connectors, one serial for testing purpose I guess, USB, SD, LAN, all described in SP 20 quick start manual (It seems I could not find the user manual from Spondoolies website)

The whole unit weights exactly 5.0 kg, very easy to carry around

Just received my SP20 a couple of days after the review campaign, delivered from Israel directly to Sweden without any custom charge!

Packaging is compact and sturdy, very well protected
