What 7.5-8.0 TH/s looks like.
Dissipating ~24,000 BTU.
Most PSU's = EVGA 1300's, powers 3 S3's each with current to spare.
Bitmain Rocks!



Awesome work planet, when I saw the red cables I thought that looks familiar as I am using the same EVGA 1300 to power 3 S3's each (they fit perfectly 3 per shelf in my 42U cabinet vented to the attic Smiley ), I only have 7 units and just checked the power at the wall all 7 use almost exactly 2400watts combined.

Thanks, we'll be adding more in the near future. But not until the power company runs in another 400A@240V.

@ stock freq, feed by the EVGA 1300's I measure exactly 325W each.
Each "rack" (purchased @ Menards ~$50) has 12 S3's.
So power consumption of a single rack ends up being 3900W.
The equation to convert watts to BTU is: watts * 3.15 = BTU
So each rack is dissipating 12,285 BTU.
2x racks = 24,570 BTU

So your 7 are dissipating 7,560 BTU or about what 2 Walmart space heaters would do.
If you live in a place that has cold winters (like us in Minnesota) vent that heat in to your house and get paid to heat the house.
