Mine arrived yesterday Cheesy

The most quiet/efficient/cheap? miner I've used so far. I've tried the 3 "default" modes and i'm pretty sure I saw more than 3.5TH on "Turbo" mode, fantastic Cheesy And with a rasp pi and all the cables hidden behind it's like a tiny cube in my room.


Edit: Quick question. I'm using the 'official' 200w psu. In the sh it says to put the power value at 75 max with this psu.

How much TH would be with 100? Which psu should I use for that? (I mean I could use the corsair sf450 but im pretty sure that 450W 80+ would be overkill)


FYI the stock psu is more than adequate to properly run in turbo mode. I asked earlier in this thread if you want the answer from the source.

The only real reason I see to use a higher output PSU is to go beyond the turbo mode to maximize hash rate. I ran 4 units like this for about a day or two and while the units did perform flawlessly at their peak performance, the small room I had them in got ridiculously hot and obviously the fans were much louder. The amount of heat they generated made me very uncomfortable and you void your warranty doing this.
