Avalon batch [3] countdown!

[Wayne_Chang]

I have a solution for Yifu.

Give all batch 3 owners a chance to buy a second unit for half the price.

Many buyers asked for refunds. They should have enough for more units.

At current situation, how many persons do you think that still willing to buy miners from Avalon?

[Splirow]

I would buy a 4 module unit for 50btc. I am sure many would.

As long as they arrive within 3 weeks from now

Hi, I posted these in the pictures thread, I thought some of you might be interested in them aswell.

It was a long, but happy day now that I've received our Avalons!

I dont own any of these AVALON units but wouldn't it be better to space the units out instead of stacking them on each other? Would this not reduce the heat that gets collected while they are running?

Just a thought.

Hi smoothie

Avalon made them to be stacked- as Yifu has confirmed/mentioned himself on these forums. Perhaps if the room I have them in was cooler, then they might run cooler spread out and not stacked. However, I have 65 degree air blowing directly in the air intake, and if I spread them out I'd have to remake my air ducts. The rest of the room is about 75-85 degrees, so I need that cold air to blow directly into them. They are quite cool to the touch.

I will probably put an air manifold onto the air ducts and connect them directly to the Avalons soon to try to push them to 375mhz, they are OCed to 350mh right now. Running average of 109 Gh.. Lowest 105 Gh, Highest 115 Gh. The highest core temp is 70c and Yifu said he ran them up to 85c for a long time and it never crashed/burned up. Hopefully they are safe.

I call dibs on the first one to break down, one or three of the modules.....seriously though, why not vent the hot outside?

Don't send bad mojo my way!

I've worked really hard the past couple days cutting two 18" holes for the AC exhaust and AC compressor air intake manifold, putting up insulation, etc.

Like I said.. I'm in Texas and it gets 100+ degrees here during the day. I need air conditioning for 7 Avalons in a 10x10 room, they would fry up in a second with only exhaust fans. I've tried it with GPUs, infact I have some inline fans sitting around my house not being used because they did not cool my GPU farm well enough. They are quality Vortex inline fans too.

[jarhed]

There's common sense then there's......well, I'm not sure.....

This is the equivalent to what you have currently.....

[jarhed]

Wow. You may actually deserve what's heading your way...........

[CoinHoarder]

Ok.. whatever.

I wonder why I post pics on here sometimes. Everyone has to critique every little thing about you setup. Did I say it was the best way to do it or perfect or the best? No.

However, I like to see pictures of farms and Avalons, but maybe you guys don't. I am sorry for posting pictures.. maybe you're just grumpy your batch 3 isn't in yet. I sympathize with you, I'm sure it will be headed your way soon.

Ps: They seem to be doing fine.

OK, bro. Just keep a detail log and monitor closely.

I still find it amazing you believe someone can remotely affect hardware with "mojo".
I'm gonna research what exactly is a mojo.

EDIT: Just saw your previous post.......For the record, I've already made ROI on my ASIC long ago, and I'm not Batch#3........now I pool-hop just for the 'Awes'......Which reminds me  Screw you Slush, paying me so little for doing most of the work...

I was mostly just kidding when I was talking about mojo...

As they say... sarcasm is hard to tell over the internet.

[alpet]

Just depressing reality:

And order still 'Processing'.

Base on batch#2 and batch#3's experience, do you think your condition of arriving within 3 weeks can be achieved?

[Anenome5]

K, just explain, do you have hot air venting out of that room not being shown in those pictures, as well as the cool air coming in you did show???

Thanks for sharing that information concerning Yifu and the stacking.

Shows what I know about Bitcoin ASIC mining hardware.

Don't forget that when batch 3 price was announced Yifu guaranteed that the units would have been delivered to customers by May.

So, are you willing to make the same mistakes over and over again?

I have seen it be 117°F (47°C) in Austin, and August is only now starting.

My summer solution is to vent the exhaust to the outside, and bring the outside make-up air into the central air return air plenum just ahead of the filter.

[monkee]

order 46xx, ordered and paid in first 10 minutes of sale

still nothing

[agibby5]

Wasn't it their intention to have these units break even within 2 weeks? Or am I remembering that incorrectly?
