These guys have been top notch.

I ordered two boards and two first revision server psu's.  They were ready to go within minutes of opening the boxes and plugging in my smos usb stick(s).

Harry has been great with customer service.  Even though they said they would be swamped with holidays and shipping, I received emails and answers within a day.

FWIW, I'm running a mixed bag of 1070ti's and only one 120mm fan going with 65-70 ambient temp in a room.

Getting good results on temps:

You can see that the ones to the right are way lower and I only have one fan blowing on them.

I'll likely be ordering more once I can make more room in the house.

Running 200/700 w/110W PL and 65 target temp on SMOS.  The only downside is that those server psu's are jet engine loud.

Don't know if anyone has gotten wifi to work but I have with one of my old dongles:

Ssh into your rig and run these commands:

Quote
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install network-manager
sudo service network-manager start
sudo nmgui

From there you can choose your wifi and enter creds.  This isn't a should you run wifi post, but you can if you need to.  For one of my rigs I have to run wifi and this has been solid for a week.

Not all dongles are going to work.  I have two and only my old linksys dongle seemed to work correctly.

Disclaimer:  I hold no responsibility for what happens when you run those commands, but they should be safe.  Like I said, my rig has been fine afaik.
