I'd guess it's just remnant thermal compound - there's heat sinks on both sides of the board and Dogie had to remove them to get those pics. Nothing a few fluids can't clean up before applying some new and getting the heatsinks back on.

Ah, thank you.

What's up with the BE200's in those pics? Are those scorch marks from soldering them in place? Is that normal?

So the instructions from rockminer say that frequencies 270-290 are supported. 270 worked. 290 was a little faster. Tried to experiment with 285 and now the box is no longer recognized over usb :-|

Thoughts?

UPDATE: Using the cg-debug command provided in the windows binaries seems to have reset the frequencies for the chips. Testing was a little obfuscated because ghash went down at the same time which caused cgminer to have trouble starting. new pool, new test, seems to be back to working as normal.

Hehe, yes minersource provided two units for review, and an additional one came direct from the factory.

I think I'll refrain from posting the feeble cell-phone pictures I took. The images from
Dogie are "almost like being there". That's exactly how mine looked. Of course he omitted
the ultra-highres pictures of the USB cable and power lead.

Oh don't worry, there are 24MP pictures of the cables and connections Tongue

Being barrel based there are many, many ways to power these things so I'll be discussing the most common ones.

I'm not sure on the timeline for this one, I'm rock solid busy until Wednesday night, Thursday is written off due to completion of the thing on Wednesday, Friday I'm away. Tldr, ASAIC. The pictures are what takes the longest and they're all ready and uploaded.

It is great to see the BE200 chips coming onto the market. Great photos Dogie. The X-Box looks like a very promising miner.

I can absolutely confirm that they have shipped. I received mine today via thomas_s. My
first impression is that the packaging and so forth are quite solid. Nothing loose inside,
and left rattling around. While the original prototype looked like a Gridseed, this is
different though similar. There is a black heatsink on top with the fan, with the board
below thatn and then a heatsink below. No dusty heatsink here. This looks like a very
well designed piece of gear, all issues of it's cost, profitability, and speed aside.

More to come.

Thanks for your review.
