I just placed an order for an M20 V1 from pangolinminer. It's set to arrive by May 20th.
This beast is supposed to hit 72 TH and draw 3312 watts, which breaks down to about 46 watts per TH.
I paid the full price with no discounts, just the promise of shipping before the due date.
Once it arrives, I'll share more details here.
Now, regarding the sound level and power usage... I might run into some issues since my 30/24 amp PDUs are only rated for 15 amps per plug. A 3312 watt draw could be tricky.
This isn't just speculative talk. I've paid for the demo and I can confirm that payment to pangolin, so it's legit.
It’s just a matter of it being ordered and expected by May 20th.
These things are pricey, and I dropped 2048 bucks on it today. Plus, there's a potential tax hit of around 520, which brings the total to about 2568.
And to the mods, if you think this should be in the speculation section, that's totally fine by me.
At yankees yeah it is a lot and 50 day wait time is 5 days past my limit for preorders.
But I am in a funny spot. The Clifton build is power capped.
I have
M10's = 8
S15 = 1
T15 = 1
t2turbo = 1
A921 = 1
I want to move out all the gear below
20 s9's say 230th and 23000 watts
2 721's say 11th and 1500 watts
2 s7ln say 5th and 1500 watts
this is 246th and 26000 watts
8 new M20 v1 = 576 th and 26496
also will cost 8 x 2000 = 16000 + 4000 trump tax and wait till July shipping with no idea if the gear is good.
Getting the 1 demo reduces risk to 2000 + 500 trump tax and gives me an idea if it is good gear.
It also gives people a chance to decide if they should do orders of these.
May 20th is a long wait for 2000 bucks but some risks need to be done.
Ideal is it comes a little early it works well. "we will see what we shall see."
Is this the large M10S like unit? 72T or 46T? Can you post size dimensions as I'm now confused with the three M20 models... An independent review is always welcome.
It should be larger like the M10S and there are no dimensions for it as of now.
I am basing the preorder on the fact that they have sent me 7m10's and some m3's all on time.
this is all I have for info
Note bold type is my order.
I ordered this cable
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014JWENSO/
and I have this cable
https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Heavy-Duty-IEC-320-C19-P040-014/dp/B005KKCNXW/
so I can go wall out to psu no pdu just in case.
yeah I may end up needing to rewire Clifton as I think the pdu's won't work with it.
these are well priced

in Clifton we run around 229 volts so 3312 / 229 = 14.46 amps 24/7/365 a 20 amp wire is derated to 16 amps so you need a 20 amp cable
a short run of 12 gauge will be okay but close
10 gauge is no worry.
I may need to make cables from this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Extension-Cord-15FT-L6-30P-L6-30R-10AWG-30Amp-200-250VAC-Black-10-3C/123699039492?
pull the l6-30r and swap in a c13 or c19
https://www.parts-express.com/wattgate-320i-hc-black-high-current-iec-ac-power-connector--110-444
this rates but I do not know what the socket will be to this item.
an l6-30p to >>> 10 gauge cable to the c 19 above costly cable to get a 20 amp rating.
Or see what Stayonline dot com has for you. That link is to 6-15 cables but they also have 6-20 and custom ones. Great source for cables.
What is the PSU receptacle? IEC C13, 15, 19, 20, etc?? They do them all of course.
I don't know if it will be a c13 or c19 also don't know if they are going to go to stacked short tube like the T15 and s15.
Info is lite here. Specs and not much else
All my pdus have 15 amp fused individual plugs
I suspect it will need to power directly from the wall which I don't like.
I have this cable a 10 gauge I can unscrew the l6-30r and add this
http://wattgate.com/products/320ihc/ that will handle 16 to 20 amps
I think it will follow earlier models and have a IEC C14 receptable, which takes in a cable with IEC C13 connector.
edit: This was a brain fart. Please see my later post below.
may be okay with a IEC C13 it is a 15 amp item. Have to wait and see.
Of course a lower speed more efficient setting say 60 2400watts fixes all issues.
I ordered the 72th gear with the hope it has 2 speeds.
72th 3312watts = 46 watts a th
60th 2400 watts= 40 watts a th
these 2 settings would be ideal

I just looked at this M10S product page,
and I had a good look at the psu power receptable.
Please forget what I said in the earlier post.
It is actually a very wise choice if they use a IEC C20 receptable (which takes in a IEC C19 power cord),
just like they used with the M10S model.
C19 - C20 couple has a maximum current rating of 16 Amps (IEC standard, international).
Where as C13 - C14 is only 10 Amps.
good find.
Then I can use this cable in red for "Danger"

I have to check the specs on my apc ap7841 pdus
https://datasheet.octopart.com/AP7841-APC-datasheet-10006789.pdf
I have the same unit on order for the May 20th Demo release. I was originally going to grab a 48TH unit, but ran out of time securing more coins for the order. Really depleted myself with the M10 orders. Thankfully I was able to secure this last night.
Due to past dealing with Pangolin, I'm not worried about the timing on the pre-orders. Definitely going against my no batch 1 order rule of the past, but it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up looking into the summer months. I do believe these will be delivered on spec.
My only real worry comes down to leveraging nearly 44% of my hashrate on 1 machine. This machine will never make it into the house for my winter mining down the road, but it will do just fine in my garage year round.
For me I run steadily at or above 240V, in full power mode I will be 13.8 amps. I'm not sure if I will upgrade the circuit to 30 amps just to be safe or not. This will be the only machine on the circuit, so even at +10% I'm under 16 Amps steady load. I should have everything in place to do a proper power draw reading as well, so if needed I'll know I need to change things up.
Good find on the cables, I was just going to wait to hear from Pangolin for more detailed specs so I can be sure I'm ready.
Yeah I am not looking to get more then one for now.
I want to be sure the 3312 watts is manageable up in Clifton. We could run it at buysolars smaller array Since the longer days are around and he will be moving 3x l3 +'s to Clifton that's 2100 watts so a net plus of 1200 watts and a grand total of 3312 + 1200 = 4500 watts at the lessor array.
this is a costly unit 2048 and maybe 500 trump tax = 2548 usd a lot more then I want to spend but I have heard the trump tax is going to drop to 10% so maybe be more like 240 tax vs 500 tax. I can live with that. I rather run it at the local array for a month before I bring it up to clifton.
