Re: Bitmain introduces the Antminer S17 Pro, Antminer S17, and the Antminer T17
It happens I just found it and posted it above. let us know how long they take to replace it.
more warnings here
and someone refuted me here
UPDATE: I remembered I had a dual metered PDU that reports amps (in whole numbers) that I don't use that readout anymore. So I tried one of the S17s on that so I could measure each cord separately. It measured exactly 5 amps each on Turbo mode. Exactly being that it only reports round numbers. At my voltage that is around 1150 watts per cord. But I'm sure it is 5.x not just 5 amps. But either way, it seems to balance the load very close between the two cords.
I'd like to see your calculation/thinking.
By my profit model turbo mode makes sense currently. But I am working with 5.4 cent electricity so that obviously will make a difference. Simple Cryptocompare shows $8.50/day for Turbo, $7.84/day for Normal, $6.24/day for Low Power mode. So Turbo currently makes the most profit. I have wondered if the extra wear and tear is worth it and for that extra 8% profit and maybe not.
As energy price goes up then it would flip to where normal would win out and then low power mode.
So in your case my advice was correct and his was wrong.

you don't understand how they measure.
a single chip with test leads can do 30J/TH
this gear is doing 50th at 2050 watts on = normal speed that is 41J/TH
you are doing turbo numbers to mine on turbo speeds gives you a little more hash and burns power like mad.
so this gear does 41J/TH using the fans and controller on normal speed. I suspect fans and controller are at least 100 watts
so it is doing about 1950/50th = 39J/TH on normal speed
In what seems like a million years ago bit fury shows its chip in a single chip setup it did 60J/TH which when built into a big machine did about 100J/TH
Turbo should never be used at the moment with current coin prices.
Normal speed should be used at the moment with current coin prices.
But I am sure some can create an example that shows turbo is smart to do at the moment.

I have metered smart switches for each circuit-PDU so the only way I could measure each cord would be to connect to two separate circuits which I'd rather not risk. Otherwise I'd need to measure with my amp-meter with a split cord which I don't have. If I can figure out how to safely do it I'll let you know.
