Re: Octominer B8PLUS 8 PCIe Slot Mining Board (Motherboard, integrated CPU)
Thanks, and you are right. The dimensions are clearly listed, I just assumed rack mount. So far, everything works quite well, and the motherboard was easy to use with Win 10. Do you know when the molex fan controller will be available? Also, are you planning an nvidia version of the prebuilt version?
Hey!
The 4U is for the height of the case. We had the dimensions listed under the product descriptions also.
Sorry to hear that you did not notice it during checkout.
Regarding the PWM wires. Some batches of fans had them snipped off, all the fans work fine though and this will not be an issue. This was due to our case supplier using fans they had in stock, otherwise it would have made the production times longer. Currently there is also a shortage of high quality fans in the market in China due to all the mining activity.
We also have a fan speed controller coming out soon that can be used with those fans without the need for the PWM wires. Will be plug and play.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.
Well, I got my Octominer case in, and I found a huge problem. Its supposedly a 4u rack mount case, but it doesn't fit in a standard 19" rack!..its over 22" wide! Oops.
So its useless for hosting in any datacenter, unless its a mickey mouse one that just uses shelves, vs proper enterprise racks.
Also has some very nice Delta PWM fans, unfortunately the PWM and sense leads are literally snipped off, so fan speeds are not controllable. Grrrr
