Sorry about that Gator.
Specially for customers like you we are finishing now 4 chip version with normal heat sink and fans.
I hope it will be stable @ 130 range with nice 2-3w fans.
The damn chip is sooo power hungry

Update in Monday

This is great

I am sure many people will choose 4 chip version Grin

Are these A1's chips a different production run to the ones Bitmine are using? How did they manage to get 1GH/1W?
What about the Bitfury 2, is the ETA for that still March? I'm probably just going to wait for another chip.
If I cannot get these running quite I'll eBay them.
If someone can give me the lowest GH/Watt they will run at it would be useful before I pick up a temporary PSU.
But if not I'll find out tomorrow and report back!

They use more chips at slower speed to save power.

Yeah I thought they used 12 instead of 8, but someone corrected me on that, the 12 is for the Rig, the desk has 8, like the Hex8A1.
The chip specs say 850mV for 1GH/W, which was supposed to be their Turbo mode, so I'm surprised these don't even fire up at 850mV.
I did hear a rumor they made a second batch and the first went to DIY, but I was hoping it wasn't true. Tongue

No I mean in total, don't they have 5 boards in the Desk? So for 1TH they are getting 200GH per board which is much lower than the 270 these ones get so maybe needs less volts.

Yeah I want to run this with less volts like they do 850mV should make it 200GH/200W so I get less heat and can put quieter fans on.
But I think Zich said he got like 23% error rate! Shocked

If I swap with someone with a later batch Feb/Mar will they be more efficient or the same?
