Just wanted to share an update on the 2 ants I received yesterday from bitmain, in case anyone wants to compare general stats... may be useful for you.

* Been running for 12+ hours now, clocked at 393 freq and hashing away at an average of 200GH each and I see 0.02962084 BTC at Eligius.

* Got an "x" on one at 400 freq but went away. Not sure if it was lowering the clock to 393 that did it or multiple reboots. No "x" at the moment. HW errors went down at 393. Now averaging as - Ant 1: 0.43% and Ant 2: 0.26%.

* Temperatures are Ant1: 46C/41C and Ant2: 41C/44C. Have a Honeywell box fan pointed at them. Room temperature is 82F but these are near the window which is open and its 52F outside. The stock fans on the Ants running around 2100 rpm

Waiting for another to deliver on Monday.

The two ants running on an RM1000. I know I know PSU is upside down but it seems to be venting better this way

Are you running the 2 pci-e off 1 physical cable? I have one connection to my PSU that has 2 PCI-e off it. I was running this way but read it was bad so I switched to having one pci-e cable off 2 molex connectors. Now I read that having the molex to pci-e isn't enough power and isn't safe. What would be the best method of powering them?
