Either keep searching for a hash board replacement or just live with it. You should be drawing less power so it's like owning an 8TH miner instead of 12TH. The power density should be the same. It will just take you longer to breakeven.

Yeah, it's probably a little less efficient overall - I mean - I'm getting 2/3 hash power, but I doubt that I'm getting 2/3 power use - probably a little higher than 2/3 power - making (TH/s)/KWh worse. But, agreed, probably not much difference. I think I may still be able to get it exchanged though. My supplier has been nearly impossible to reach, but I think it is due to Chinese New Year. I managed to get in contact with him since I posted. I have another question of him before shipping back - but waiting for him to come online again.

But, it has been a learning experience. I don't know about Bitmain - but like I said, PangolinMiner will not only snub you on the warranty - but even if willing to pay them to do repairs or pay them to buy a hash board - they simply will not respond. I could accept them not honoring the warranty - they state it on their web page, but not supporting customers who are willing to pay is BS! Pathetic business practices! I can't wait until Japan, the US, etc. have companies, who have some concept of customer service, come onto the scene. Whoever does it first with a good product will destroy crap companies like this!
