Hi all,
Just an update on what has been going on over at HashFast.
First the big news - our first substrates arrive on Monday, Nov 25!
These are the high precision PCBs that lie between the silicon die and the rest of the motherboard. Once substrates arrive motherboard assembly begins, followed by board bring-up, chip bring-up and system bring-up (the process of testing chips starting at low power and working up to full spec).
For the past few weeks we have been busy assembling and testing the Baby Jet and Sierra. These images are of the Baby Jet. We are optimizing the Sierra and Baby Jet to make sure they run as cool as possible and validate our configuration's thermal management.
The video below demonstrates an airflow test of the Sierra and shows that all is working correctly in order to get sufficient ventilation flowing through the chassis. We did the same with the Baby Jet, though there is much less heat with one chip.

Here is the image of our PCB. It features 16-phase voltage regulation, the best in the industry!
Providing our ASICs with very smooth, stable power ensures they run at maximum speed, while minimizing hardware errors and providing greater hardware reliability.
As soon as the system is successfully brought up then volume production ramp of the complete motherboards begins. We will be shipping the motherboards daily to Ciara, where they will be assembled with all of the other components of the Baby Jet and Sierra.
Cheers,
HashFast Team
