whats the best coin to mine on these atm?

You all think its worth it to buy into these at 7k? def a hefty price . . but if the returns are there why not? xD

I just point mine at Nicehash, only hardware I have pointed at Nicehash are the Baikals: https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator

Even at $7k, its still quite justified because of the exceptional earnings. It's currently the most profitable ASIC after-all, since the A3 has dropped to around $48/day now. Earnings exceed that of a 1080 Ti x8 GPU rig and for less cost and no build effort, less heat, less energy, & requires less space. I hope you get one so we can see the video review you make on it.

Question to all the Giant B owners out there, what speed do you run the fan at? How loud is it? and What is a safe temperature?

Mine are in a garage and I leave fans at stock settings and the temps are reading 27C to 28C while mining LBRY, which is a 400W algo. Since the Giant B only uses 400W at most, it stays cool, and the air it pushes out is lukewarm. It is loud, too loud for inside a home. I tried running a swarm of 4 giant bees inside and tolerated that all of 1 day. My ears say 2.5 Giant B = 1 Antminer A3 in decibels.
