Unfortunately boards were finished at about 4pm. And last chance for shipping was at 5pm so there was no way I could program them in time. Will do that over weekend...

But this is how 60 Chilis look like in a box...

Hello lucko

Nice news.
Can you tell us if plan to put any new modified firmware on this batch or the release used already on first 4 boards?
Also: can expect this boards would have some burn-in during weekend ? (was annonced before for cointamination boards)

Regards
After installation of first firmware you can load firmware over USB. So it is easy to modify...

Problem with burn-in is that I would need CPU coolers and PSU. This boards is not ready to hash and it is up to 180W. That is about only 50W less then 16 chips Cointamination. So I don't have enough for any kind of long test. I don't think fuses can handle it too(over 10KW). Every board will be test run but that is it...

I'm getting mixed results. Some looks to be running without a problem some not... No idea why...

Also MrTeal did replace all components on his board that are used in phase 1 and phase 2. And still same problem... This is puzzling... If I wouldn't have 2 different make of PCB I would say the problem is the PCB but since I have 2... He did modify power supply controls to run a bit different but that drops speed to 27,5 - 28GH...

Looking forward to getting them!
Sorry but did I miss you say you would like to have them as they are... I didn't make yours...
