Well, mine arrived. Pretty darned quiet and low temps, even with a bit of overclocking. I think these can climb pretty high OC wise, especially in an environment where noise isn't an issue...

So far I haven't been able to run it on any pools other than antpool, though, which sucks. 0 shares on nanopool for ZEC and suprnova pools for ZEC, ZCL, and BTG, on 10-20 minutes each, even though all three read as alive (all shares get rejected). Instant 10 shares while revving up on antpool. Guess I'll leave it there for now.
What kind of hashrate are you getting after overclocking?

I got it as far as 13k with acceptable noise levels and temps at or below 60, but I probably won't run it that high for long, or at least not until I can move it to the basement, where it is cooler and I can set the fan higher.

EDIT: also as a note, while there haven't been any HW in an hour of running, I DID have one of the cards be a bit flaky on one of the OC settings, so watch the individual cards if you plan to OC/void your warranty. Day 1 would be a crappy day to lose 33% of your hashrate. Wink
