Pecaili, do you know why the top fan (of the new chasis) is bigger than than the bottom one?

Can you ask the engineer why do we need a strong fan for the top?

I plan to replace the fans so i want to be safe.

i will ask the engineer and answer your question, for all of the people who want to get rid of noise, over-heat, my host plan is a good choice and welcome to join, if you want to own more than 5 units it will cause many problem if you put them in home, the over-load of electricity, noise, temperature, it will be more and more serious if you are about to have a long and hot summer

Had i know it make this much noise, i would have gone with your hosting plan. Altho you should clarify and confirm that the Chinese government wont confiscate the mining equipment if they ban everything related to bitcoin.

Top fan provides 2x airflow compared to others. If you replace it with lesser fan the unit will overheat.

and why only the top blades need more airflow?

Aw.... you didnt answer my question but simply state the obvious did you?

got my 3 miners today, thanks pcfli

all hashing happily  Grin

FYI, one was missing the power cable and network cable, not that it's a problem because I had spare cables, but could be problem for someone who doesn't have spares on hand.

edit. if anyone was interested I created a backup image of the SD card from one of my dragon 1TH/s miner (4 blade version) you can download from link below.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92967009/dragon_image.7z  (7.9Gb image compressed to 570Mb)
after uncompressed it can be restored/written to 8GB sd card with Win32DiskImager downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
Thanks, i will paste your topic in the trouble shoot threads.

Anger is a gift.
I had chips on one of my blades that were running at over 90 C. Took the blade apart and they thermal material was flipped to the wrong side. Flipped it back and the chips are staying under 60 C now. Still not sure why 1 blade is showing 1.2 TH/s and submitting half the amount of shares as the other 3 blades.

What power socket is there? Standard cable from computer PSU will work?
About loud fans, what connector is used in the miner? Standard 3-pin or 4-pin like in Antminers? What size these fans are? I am trying to prepare myself before miners arrives.

Its a standard PC power supply, with 3 pin 120mm fans.

Can someone share some photos or videos of the device?

Unit kept on crashing after 30 minutes.  What is the remedy for that?  3 other units are in the same room and they are working fine.

anyone successfully find replacement fans for lower noise?

The stock ones are damn loud.


+1

1 out of the 3 I have seems to have faster fans which is twice as noisy than other 2 but it's nearly 10 degrees lower in temp

Are there any firmware updates for the 5 blade models? All of you running 4 blades, I highly suggest using a Kill-o-watt to see if theyre pushing 1100W+ on a 1000W PSU. My 5 blade unit is pulling ~950W from the wall at ~8 Amps. I had to use my cord from my 1000W EVGA Platinum because my 1000W EVGA Gold cable was not thick enough in gauge and the cord was hot to the touch.

Anyone manage to overclock these safely? I have extra PSUs around to balance the power draw.

We have all of our 5 blade versions with 2 PSUs running stable @ 1.2-1.25 last few days, keep them well cooled. Looks like they are pulling ~1100w form the wall.

How are the PSU's wired?
Have a pic. of the ATX connectors? Would like to know so I can add a second PSU to the single PSU models in a safe manner.

The board has 2 24pin ATX connectors on it with 6 spots for blades to be plugged in.

Any luck getting the img files pcfli?

It maybe cheaper to buy a new machine and take out 4 blades.

I have asked the factory, the cost of one extra blade is 690$, the control board is very cheap, only 15$, maybe not as expensive as the shipment fee:)

Ya 690 is tooo much.  I was thinking around 500.  What if we do a group buy and get some QTY?  Think if we order 100 blades we can get a betting price pcfli?
As i know, all of the other part of the miner is ver cheap, the price of the blade take almost 80% cost of the miner, the price of one A1 chip for reseller is 65$(but the factory will get some discount because they will order moren 200,000 once a time), so you will know why they charged so much on one blade

Yes, the miners send in this batch will have english language interface, and the price is 3250$ and you can exchange it to btc using real time exchange ratio of btc-e, and the factory promise 30 days warranty on hardware

Just talkedwith my bank agian.. turns out they left 3 numbers off the bank account number for seller. Talking with bank tomorrow as wire xfer dept is closed to see what my options are. Expect payment soon . will update. should have just bought/used bitcoin. lesson learned.

How could you missed that since 21st March? Smiley
I did the wire xfer via phone and an email to the bank with the data. No way for me to verify that because they sent me a copy via snail mail I just received today. I did ask them to verify it multiple times. Fail.
