Temperatures should not be let to rise above 70C
Where did you get this information?? Is it from Avalon chip's datasheet?
No, its just a sensible number. Chips are no where near any boundary under stock cooling as it works so well.
and you will need a typical computer PSU with 4xPCI-E 6 pin power connector
I'm wondering why does they put 8-pin connectors on miner's boards?..
Thanks for the nice guide and photos. I liked the '360 deg' view photo.
As Rabinovitch said, the power connectors clearly look like 8 pin and not 6 pin PCI-E.
Cheers
Correct, they are 8 pin however to keep from confusing people I refer to them as 6 pin as that's what they will have seen on every other miner and are familiar with. If they already know the difference between 6 and 8 pin, then they don't need the information in the first place. Its a bit of a catch 22. You could probably also get away with only 2 PCI-E 6 pin, and even on one cable strand if its 16AWG, but again if you're in a position to use a more extreme arrangement then you likely already know that.
