Re: DRILLBIT SYSTEM Miners - Avalon Thumbs and 16s available now!
First impressions Drillbit Avalon 16 boards:
Got my 2 boards today. First tried one, then both. They are powered by a spare ATX PS using a Molex-6 pin PCI-E adapter from a video card to power the second board (the PS had a single 6 pin PCI-E output).
Cooled by a single Cooler Master 12cm fan.
They are 'daisy chained' via SATA cables to act as a single miner (connected the 'Down port' of the 'master' board to the 'Up port' of the second board).
Ran them initially on windows and then on Minepeon (thanks TK for the V8 image and update instructions) with CGminer 4.2.
(The image caption say 4.0.2 while it is cgminer 4.2.0)
Need to learn how to modify settings to get a bit more hash rate out of these.
Cheers

Hey Kapobar
Try --drillbit-options Av16:int:825:1:1000. Should get you an easy 22 GH/s. They can definitely be pushed higher too but you will need to make sure you have good cooling.
