[GROUP BUY WORLDWIDE]BTMine v1 Miner 200GH/s BTC 2.4

[Powell]

Ok I am not going to go through and explain everything but basically took pics of the complete unbox what it looked like with the 220V units (this is my first of 6 units from them).  I installed the 2x 900W (Antec (Bronze)) which were not modular so I had to make some modifications to them so they are pretty.  The rest of them will have dual 1000's (Enermax Revolution (Gold)) in them since i have a few already here.  The wiring was the best I could do and I left my black plates to zip tie from at our shop.

Quality of the build - 10/10
Electrical (Wiring) - 10/10
Sound - 5/10

I'll address sound first.  These fans are spinning 3200 RPM per now I'm sure there is a setting that can make it adjustable (I've tried some of the Cgminer commands, but same RPM).  It does keep it cool though!  It is not anywhere as loud as that video and in the video I should note that I am in the open entryway of a 2 story house with tile floors and wood in rooms on either side.  I am going to be putting them in a room where they can run on their own and won't be noticed.  

Pictures in an IMGUR Album so I don't have to flood the page with pictures.    I took a bunch to show all the nooks and crannies for it.  Also pardon the mess LOL!

Here is the video of it running at 240GH/s (Fans are the same no matter what command you throw).  I also need to note (I don't feel like opening it back up) that when I'm at the front and it is even louder that is aimed 2ft from a wall which doesn't help).

Few things to note that I did (Which do not follow me)
- Updated Firmware to 20131229 from ckolivas which also updates CGMiner to 3.9.0
- Currently running Bitburner at 1200 and Frequency at 1600 and I've been seeing it around 230-250GH/s (Temp 1 = 26 and Temp 2 = 41)

Overall I am VERY pleased with it!  I cannot wait for the other 5

You got the total power pull at the wall on it?

[GenTarkin]

Would love to buy one or more of these, but question regarding the PSU...
Is it a single 900w PSU that comes w/ the unit? if so, whats its 80+ rating?...is it a quality PSU?

I would assume, to make it USA 110v usable, all I gotta do is plug it up w/ a standard PC power cord right? (Im assuming the plug on the PSU for power is the same as any other, its the side of the cable that goes into the wall is the only thing thats different....)

I am also wondering if a standard USA 110v PC power cord will be all that is needed to power the supplied PSU?

naw it wont be...the supplied unit doesnt work down to 120v it seems =( ... and its POS from what others are saying.

Nope the socket one I have is at our office.  If it was close by I would get but won't be in the office this week.

Thank you for the detailed pics so i guess i'll need to use 2 power supplies instead of the one btmin said would work. is that new avalon firmware that came out 2 days ago?

[Powell]

Firmware was end of December I think.

I think it will run on a single 1000-1250 PSU.  I am going for max power on all of my boxes so throwing everything and the kitchen sink at them LOL!

*** Edit ***

You would have to make a 24pin jumper harness didn't think about that till just now LOL!

[Cheeseater]

I was just about to ask and saw the edit. Think i'll use 2 750 corsair modules thanks for pics again huge help

[GenTarkin]

can anyone confirm they paid w/ BTC and received their unit/s ?

Also, anyone thats received in the US, know what to expect for customs import cost?

[FarmerOak]

Thanks a TON to Powell. Just fantastic work on the pictures. Any chance you can give us some of your stats? Try overclocking at all?

hope these things last a while rofl!

[Powell]

I'm still playing with it some I just moved it upstairs to one of the spare bedroom because in the entry way it was not a good location anymore after a few hours LOL!

I've never played with an Avalon unit, hell most of this stuff is new to me (bitcoin), but the linux/windows/hardware isn't LOL!  So I was going to do some research before pushing to far.



That's right at an hour of run time (when I moved it to one of the guest rooms).  Bitburner-voltage = 1200 and Frequency is at 1600 right now.  It sits between 235-250GH/s heat hasn't gotten past 48.  I think I have an idea on max voltage (1.25) or at least that is what I read.  Frequency I do not know though I know all of it is dependent on power.  This one has 2x 900W 4x 12V rail psu's, the following 3 will be 2x 1000W (Gold) 6x rail psu's.  The other two will be probably another set of 1000w Enermax's if they come back in stock on Amazon.

Sound update!  When you close the door, the BTMiner and 2x Asicminer Cubes are not even audible 5ft from the door.  It wasn't as loud on carpet and in an actual room compared to an all tile/wood open area LOL!

Where is that from?

Zoom in you will see a tiny bit of the same area on my board.

I don't see any jumper wires on mine.  Plus I'd hope that was a testing unit because look at the burn marks around that area where someone was soldering and the other red wire looks like it has been toasted.

[FarmerOak]

Awesome stats! Hope it's stable at those hash rates (particularly since I based my ROI on 200GH/s). Do you have a kill-a-watt or a way of measuring wattage from the wall?

[Powell]

It as at my office but I won't be in this week.  If I go by Fry's I'll pick up another one, and there maybe a chance to go again for like the 4th time in 8 days LOL.

[BeerPimp]

Has anyone been able to set one up with just one power supply?

Its from this guys unboxing post: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=379819.msg4375509#msg4375509

If its working obviously than the jumpers worked.  I'll get photos of the next group I get in.  All of my pictures were taken unboxing as it happened my biggest thing was the wiring was actually fairly clean esp having it shipped from around the world LOL!

The lower board needs a 24 pin power cable also?

[FarmerOak]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what "You would have to make a 24pin jumper harness" means. I have two Fortress 650W Platinum PSUs ready to go. It would suck to be missing a cable when mine shows up.

[Powell]

You are good then the 24pin molex was towards running a single power supply.
