How is  the noise level? Is it comparable to the SP20 or lot more than it?
Comparable to a few S5s, which are comparable to a few SP20s although a much less annoying quality of noise.

From your earlier post:
ALL the 3 PCIE connectors are needed to be connected to power supply on each hash board .... since it is based on serial power solution and there is no DC/DC inside the miner.

Those two statements are unconnected and don't make sense as a justification. If each board can still only be powered by one PSU due to cross-loading, then each board's 3 PCI-E connectors are still connected. While we don't have any high res images to see if we can see tracks, each of the PCI-Es is still in-line and *appears* to be powering the same plain. That agrees with the cross-loading argument which would mean that each PCI-E is the same as the next, meaning the only limitation is maximum load and not because it doesn't have DC/DC.

It sounds like you do not have one on hand.  Are you giving advice based on hear-say or do you have one in your possession?  Sometimes it seems that you just like the sound of your own...fingers typing...



Nice review Notlist3d, I agree the red velvet is a nice touch, very sensual Cheesy
