Nice review and the more I am reading the more I like the Avalon6 over the S7.
Much prefer the single piece heatsink to the mini heatsinks that the S7 has.
Just 2 hash boards with a clean symmetrical layout, must be better for cooling than a 3 board layout.
Connectors out the back, and only 4 needed much nicer.
Looks like it will run to 4TH with a little bit of overvolt which is quite easy with Server PSU (Much easier than undervolt)
Hopefully the A3218 is more stable than the BM1385 and we are not going to see silly batches.
However
3.5TH/s for 995W is 0.284J/GH is bang on spec but not as good as S7 with 0.25J/GH
So big decider for me is how well will it undervolt & underclock with it's auto setting algorithm? Hope you and Phil can make some measurements and see how low in volts it will go and to what degree the J/GH improves?

I'm thinking the exact same, liking this more I look at it.
And thanks guys for putting this up.
