Yes, board rev numbers are different, old one S7_SPOWER HashBoard_54_V1.3, and the new one S7_SPOWER HashBoard 54 V1.6

Edit: here is the pic of two boards, they are physically different, new one protrude at least 2" higher from the housing , old one is almost flushed.



What about the Controller Boards, are they also different Revs?

So use space #1-4 for 4 boards, or leave a blank one in between.

Boards are the same size , housing profile is difrent.

When I connect my early B1 S7 hash board (with different housing than the later S7s) to B3 controller, the controller won't recognize the hash board and shows ------- ------- ------. But the hash board runs by itself with it's own controller. Any suggestions?

Yes. position the cables.

they came and they are great.  i will write a trust later today.

here is a shot of my controller loaded for 6 boards.  so:

 1)full
2) full
 3) full
4)full
5) blank
6)full
7) blank
8 )full
9) blank

2 custom long with 4 stock short  this allows for 1 cat 5 not 2 and 1 unused controller

That is surprising. Can you examine the controller boards and see if there are differences / different Rev numbers on the PCB?

I seem to remember that the early S7 used the S5+ controller and that a difference with the Later S7 was that the orientation of the 18 Pin connectors was changed from 4 / 5 on each side mirrored to all 9 of the connectors being oriented the same way?

However I had expected to be able to swap Hash boards between Systems / Controllers?

Question: one miner=three connectors? Could you connect a total of three S7 to one controller? Or only two?
I also see that Phil used one short connector from the second S7, so only 2 long ones needed, right?
Therefore to hookup three machines you need four, not six long ones-am I right or not?
Thanks.


Yes. It is possible. But this miner together with 3 cubes with one controller is slower, as three separate s7.

So the miners will hash slower when running 3 off 1 controller? How about 2 miners on 1 controller?

Not 100% sure if it's the same cable on Alibaba. Usually there is a minimum order quantity and length is customizable for as low as $.25.
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ul-listed-28awg-18-pin-1_1961042307.html?spm=a2700.7724838.30.10.MKLnMJ
 

It just take me to a login screen, and i can't find them on ebay using that name. If someone buy a batch, let me know i'd be interested. Even easier if you buy it to Canada. I don't know alibaba but if they can sell a batch and ship it to my address, maybe a 3rd party that know Alibaba could do the deal. Then it'd be easier to ship them out to whoeever need them.

But i'm guessing this is probably what Jabberwock is doing anyways so we can probably wait until he has a batch for sale.

I'm dealing directly with a connector and cables manufacturer who is making me those custom cables for the S5/S7.
I'm buying them with larger batches of my other supplies from him to save a bit on shipping.
As I said I'm not looking to make a profit on them, I'm considering it as a group buy.

Thats good, i'm still waiting to hear back from you. Please let me know when you get the long S5/S7 18 pins long cables. I'd also pick up a couple of 16pin long cables if those are available wherever.

he says ^^^^ that he has 180 of those in stock already.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12708774

shipping for multiple is expensive, though, maybe we better off if someone will get 50-100 in US, then we can get from that person. I am good for 4-6.

Last message he sent me was that he was out of stock, he has not replied to the thread saying they were on stock since then. But i saw he has a NA reseller, maybe he could send a Batch to him so we can get the cables for cheap.

Sorry, I didn't update everybody in private messages about the availability.
I'll send some to Finksy with other things by the end of next week, he'll dispatch them from Canada.
And he'll probably order some from my supplier if it's not done already.

quick update 18 pins cables are now in stock.
I was unavailable for 2 weeks, so currently reading all the private messages.
If you have messaged me in the past 2 weeks, no need to send a new message unless I don't reply by tuesday.

I have 180 cables still in stock, so I hope enough for everybody.

'The right to privacy matters'
all my 18 pins cables are sold.  Cry
some 16 pins ones left.

I didn't expect so much interest.
I'll take 200 more with my next order from this supplier, approximately 3 weeks delay.

Hi
I'd like to order 6 or so cables fitting S7's when available.
Please let me know about details (shipping to Switzerland).

waste of money this gear needs mufflers

read  this thread closely.  I have yet to use the home depot supplies. But the metal mufflers do work okay.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sound-proof-a-pair-of-s-7-miners-1188217

I would agree on the Kaze's, but the ducted blower solution I'm working on is another story - it's very quiet, but the proof will be once it's hooked up and actually performing, since I don't know how much air I will need to move with it.  I actually will be taking a first pass at it this afternoon, so assuming I don't end up needing to order anything I'll post some results.

Temp-wise right now I'm running them at ~60c, with the stock fans at 55%, or roughly 4000 RPM's... When I tried the Kaze's, I was seeing temps in the ~75+c range in the same environment, which was a no-go for me.

I picked up 4 of the S7's and immediately switched all the fans to Scythe UltraKaze which are probably my favorite fans for a variety of reasons.  They spin at 3000 rpm putting out 133 cfm at a low 45 db.  Not the cheapest but last forever.  The last point is that they are great where static pressure is an issue, such as the tightly spaced fins on Bitmain products.  I can now be in the same neighborhood as the S7's and hear my family talking.


did the scytre ultra kaze managed to cool this beast down? i have some of those around and i wandered if they can do the job with s-7. at full speed 3000 rpm what temperatures did you get?
