I'd love to see whatever they're coming out with be a direct drop in / swap for the current systems. As in unscrew the old boards, swap the heatsinks to the new boards, and screw in the new ones.
would be nice, though i expect the housing doesnt cost much to produce, maybe just some shipping expense.
anyway to get a better power consumption from these? 1.2w/GH is becoming too much power usage for where i live, and I'd be happy to lose 25% of my hashrate in exchange for <1w/gh
Yeah, I was wondering the same...mayhaps we can pencil mod these similar to the S1's or something!
depends on the regulator.
I tried to pencil mod the rockminer rkbox/r3 hashboards and the regulator setup on it did not allow for pencil modding in any of my attempts. The best I did was to determine a pair of resistors that must be simulateously modified to adjust voltage. Unfortunately, reducing the resistance of both via a pencil mod INCREASED voltage, meaning a decrease involves the more difficult task of increasing the resistance.
Havent done any experiements on the BTCgarden board, but schematics or at least identifying the regulator would give me a place to start. The risk to a single board is less than the risk of running 1.2w/GH for much longer
