DHL delivered today and had them hashing in 10 minutes, thanks to the setup guide's that have been provided Doge and the other guy.

Right? I thought with the SPI connections it would be finnicky but this is hands down the fastest miner I've ever set up.

+1

Just chained my 3rd AM-V1 together! ALL 3 running off a single 1000 Watt PSU too!

Thanks for the sweet equipment BTC Garden.

Anyone know if the older boards can be retrofitted with the PCI-E headers? That would make my day! hehe

You may want to change 1 unit over to a different power supply. PSU really don't like being very close to their maximum power output.

I agree - that's cutting it close. I have 2 running off a 750 and I even think that's cutting it close. (It's not, 720W rated continuous 12v output PSU is only drawing 699 from the wall including RPI)

Also worth noting - I swapped out the fans with nice 140mm silent case fans. (Thanks for the advice bobsag et. al.) Not only is the damn thing completely silent now, I cut power consumption by 20w (across 2 units, 4 boards).

methinks The installed JSY fans seem to be power hogs.

Those JSY fans are rated at .45A, the installed fans rated at .3, a difference of .15a
.15*4=.6A total savings
.6*12v=7.2W theoretical savings. Where'd the other 12.8 watts come from? Maybe - maybe I brought the PSU into a higher efficiency area of it's output curve but I bet those fans are hogs. I'll hook one up to a bench tomorrow and see what it really draws. YMMV.
