So who is buying the S7?
I think it has too little power. I thought it would have around 10 - 20 TH/s. But okay, it has the new chips.
When is 16nm coming? For me in Germany it is hard to mine with those prices for electricity... :/
And what kind of circuit are you going to run a 10-20THs miner? Remember, the S7 is aimed at the home miner.
I would rather call it a shed- or basement- or outside-of-home miner if it is really going to be 75dB or more as some are suggesting.
Unmodded S5 in batch1 and with initial software and only one fan was doing 72dB of "metallic"sound.
I have done prisma and it was loud it also needed 2 fans not one.
My gut feeling is this will be 75db and same nasty pitch.
I think fan mods will help knock sound down a bit.
but loud it has to be if you want to get that 4800 gh out of it.
