After getting screwed in the Batch 1 B3, I got screwed once again after I received my B3. Right after turning it on, temperatures soared into the 80s, 90s, and a little over 100 on the chips. I turned it off within minutes, as it's clearly defective.
From what I've been reading, getting Bitmain to ship you a replacement at all is lucky. Am I dumb for asking whether or not Bitmain covers shipping for DOA units?
Thanks.
Bitmain doesn't charge shipping for replacement ASIC within warranty, but you do have to ship defective unit at your own cost. For me, it's 1 day delivery to their California repair center and it usually takes Bitmain 1-2 weeks to ship replacement from Shenzhen.
