Crazy!
What do they charge for electricity and maintenance fees?

Nothing yet, to my knowledge (I discovered this service today):
"1 GHS = 1 GH/s delivered INSTANTLY. All mining power is handled by GHash.IO (0% pool fee). Maintenance fee: 0.00 BTC (May be changed in the future)"

In fact they merge-mine NMC to cover their pool fees, but nothing is said about electricity (I doubt NMC covers electricity). Maybe it's like a "perpetual contract" or something.

For information, I think buying hashpower on https://www.cex.io is cheaper (and more convenient! you don't have to pay for electricity, not handle the noise or anything) than buying a Chili.
And also easier to sell if you want to...
(32GH/s = 4.16 BTC at the current price (0.13 BTC/GH/s), ie $748 at the current Bitstamp exchange rate ($179.80))

My referral link if you want to: https://cex.io/r/0/crazydownloaded/0/ (I'd get 1 GH/s if you deposit >=1 BTC)

Butterfly Chili Rack



So after trying to fire up the ~60 chilis and feeling the heat coming off them I have got to ask you how your cabinet is handling those hah.

We had to add a 25,000 BTU on top of the 22,000 BTU A/C unit we already had for the room.

Definitely underestimated how much heat these chilis make, the name fits! Tongue
They definitely put off some heat, but it hasn't been to hard to handle. Still working on tweaks. The fans on the chassis should be closer or just ditched and replaced with alternative higher power fans that can pull cold air in the bottom and push it out the top. The most interesting thing is that this entire rack is quieter than a 60GH Single, by far. MrTeal and ChipGeeek did a great job on the boards and they are averaging well over 32GH. By the way it's only 54 boards (6 per chassis).

Is there a way to "force" the Chili to a higher target temperature?
My Single SC are running between 72-80°C and I assume that I could get much higher hash rates with higher temperature.
I guess it would require a firmware update or something.

Thanks!
We will be adding that to an updated firmware here in the next little while, along with a few other features.

i got the shipping address for the chips from MrTeal but do i need to send anything with the chips so he knows these are mine?



To me it seems like a good idea to let him know your name and address

As warm as it gets in there I'm pretty sure that is exactly what it is saying!

XD

And Keefe, hopefully that will be sufficient, I'll just make sure to set them on top of a clean surface such as a block of wood or maybe some cardboard. I'm just putting all my miners in an empty room that has no furniture so I'm improvising as I go.

Shoot, so what do I need to do with your kit now, Keefe? Not sure I fully understand. :/

As long as I can keep it an inch or two off the floor...

The only thing that has changed is letting the unit rest on the screw heads which support it almost as well as the originally planned M+F standoffs that came with the cooler would have. The board is now 8mm off the shelf instead of 12mm. Neither would have raised it an inch or two.

I'm putting together my boards and coolers now. Apparently I overestimated the size of the holes that I planned to put the stock 12mm M+F standoffs through for board feet. They don't quite fit. But the board is small enough compared to the cooler mount, that the screw heads provide sufficiently stable feet.
Noticed the same, clearly not really a big deal, I even succeeded mounting them almost like on your pictures (I cannot made them enter entirely though).


I notice that the boards like airflow on the backside, which gets pretty hot otherwise. Performance went up from 32 GH to 37 GH.
While we speak about cooling, is there any way to throttle the fan? It's always at its max speed (noisy).

Still don't understand what the 8 LEDs are for...
