sorry guys, on avalon6S, my major design goal is to lower the cost and keep it stable & reliable at the same time.

look, most of your attention is price, price, price. how can i waste any more cents on user expreiences?  Undecided

Only some few ones shout price price price.

Look, there are 3 pages following mentioned "price " dozens of times. So I'm right. Grin


The picture you got is a prototype. Final product will be natural steel color, not painted.

About noise, I just did a short test in my lab. It's ~70db @ 1M, full fan speed (~3800rpm), include
a noisy server PSU. Air in-take temp is ~ 30C, board temp is ~ 72C. Will significantly lower the
noise by lower the fan rpm, but the ambient temperature should be low.

In this design, I leave the fan out of the case, in order to change the fan fast. This is a very important feature for large facilities.

About price and delivery plan, I will not announce business information here. But I think there will no long wait.


Thanks for the update!  That is great to hear not long.  A lot of us are excited to hear more about it.

Happy to see you reading the forum Smiley.

And there will be fan speed control! Thats just great, it might be the next miner i will start picking up if its easier to chew down that forking over 2k for a S7. Sound like it will be possible to make it run pretty quiet, though it will not be as quiet as the 4.1

I hope we'll be able to fit 2 fans on it too.
