How effective is the cooling when you get above 150MHZ? Do you need external fan or at what point do you need extra cooling to be used?
I guess I forgot a 2Pac is two chips... so 8 chip miner is like having 4 2Pacs.
From the Q/A section of the first post of the Terminus Support Thread:
Q. How fast do these things mine at?
With the default settings, this miner should produce 66Gh/s @150MHz. more details
The "more details" link above gives us:

The "more details" link above gives us:
100MHz (44GH) 660mV/node 2.64V total; 12V 1.4A for 16.8W/0.38J/GH
125MHz (55GH) 660mV/node 2.64V total; 12V 1.7A for 20.4W/0.37J/GH
150MHz (66GH) 660mV/node 2.64V total; 12V 2.0A for 24.0W/0.36J/GH
175MHz (77GH) 693mV/node 2.77V total; 12V 2.5A for 30.0W/0.39J/GH
200MHz (88GH) 715mV/node 2.86V total; 12V 3.1A for 37.2W/0.42J/GH
225MHz (99GH) 755mV/node 3.02V total; 12V 3.8A for 45.6W/0.46J/GH
250MHz (110GH) 770mV/node 3.08V total; 12V 4.4A for 52.8W/0.48J/GH
275MHz (121GH) 770mV/node 3.08V total; 12V 4.9A for 58.8W/0.49J/GH
I think 275MHz is reaching the upper limit of the main regulator.

So, at what MHz can we reliably run these pod miners at? It sounded like to me, 8 chips at 9W is 72W. 80% of 72% would mean ~7W per chip? Not sure what that translates to in terms of MHz.
According to this... maybe 175 MHz is reasonable?

When will the Terminus R808 be available at bitshopper.de for European buyers?
We'll have some for EU customers but not that fast as you may expect. Problem is: Due to legal constraints a housing for the PCB is a must to fulfill WEEE and EU electronics requirements. We have already housing prototypes but before we order the production version we must be 100% sure that everything works as expected regarding heat dissipation and air flow. Then we have to register it for WEEE, wait until it is confirmed and then we can start sales.

That really sucks. Glad you have such a good handle on it. Good luck.
Thank you for the detailed answer. Can you say what is the estimated price for the Terminus PCB with Housing?

I agree 100%. Tech support is open almost all hours of the day, as said in my listings. All my units are tested working on my rpi3 setup and ran perfect for 4ish hours. Wouldnt want to stop becoming your customer, as I am an avid lover of your miners 
European buyers can get actual EU-legal-and-approved ones from bitshopper.de and Asian customers only don't have them because they didn't ask.
You are responsible for customer support, though, don't forget that. My general policy is I provide support to your customers only if you fail to do so, but if you fail to do so you stop being one of my customers. Fair's fair.

Don't understand the hate. put them up for 99 cents, no reserve. People in the European and Asian market want these too and didn't have the opportunity to buy them from sidehack. I was adamant about following this thread so I could be one of the first ones on the list, checking it multiple times a day. Almost everyone bidding is from Europe or Asia. US buyers already know to buy them from sidehack, European and Asian buyers never had the chance.
These have been shipping for less than a week and people are already reselling them on eBay.
Cool!!! I bid on one. Didn't win 
I will have to wait for my place in the queue.You should buy directly from sidehack. He's got great service and you'll pay less. Only downside is you have to wait.
I wouldn't want to be that guy selling these on eBay. sidehack makes it perfectly clear: If you have problems with a device, take it to who you bought it from.
If you got yours from sidehack, you're golden; support and service from the designer, engineer, AND manufacturer. If you bought it from someone else, you have ... them. Good luck.

Makes me sad. 😝

The next thing you'd hear would be a tracking number when it ships.
No response at all, or no response about placing an order? Because if there's no response at all, she probably didn't get your message.
I got response, placed the order, paid it in full via PayPal (4 days ago). No communication from Laura since then.
So, the pod miners that include a power brick... do you have details on how many watts they will supply? Post 1 seems to mention 100GH/s vs 140 GH/s power bricks require different top wattage. I've been looking on eBay and looks like used XBOX 360 power bricks 150W cost around $15 although the tip is for XBOX 360 and not sure if they can be converted for your pod miners.
Also, does 2Pac have 2 BM1384, so a pod miner would equal 4 2Pac Gekko in terms of number of BM1384 chips...?

By the way, anyone asking support-type questions like how to use these things should do so in the support thread.
