My first one broke on the first day and the screen never scrolls to the last few lines, you constantly have to be touching it to see the final output. I fixed mine with a generic S17 board from them. The convenience of…

Yes buy the fixture from Zeus just don’t buy the touchscreen model, it’s a hot mess. You can also fix Your test fixture with one of Zeus’s generic S11/15/17 Zynq boards.

If you're into tech, hacking, managing, or just starting out, one of the must-have tools for troubleshooting is a TTL to USB interface converter. This USB gadget lets mining machine control boards connect with the…

Not one single issue, running solidly cool If not cooler than some of the other chips with original solder on them. I only use epoxy on x17 ASIC that I have lost their copper coating, in other words if I have another…

And then the whole assembly is held to the board with anchors which are soldered down, so it’s not like you can get away without soldering something to the board. At that point why not just solder the heat sink to the…

He’s a Zeus sales shill and he’s Referring to the solid one piece heat sink conversion for 17s, his English just isn’t very good.

There is some evidence that replacing only one fan can create a airflow imbalance, stressing the old fans because even with identical RPMs and current draw you can have different actual air flow depending on design or…

I’d go a step further and say if the metal capacitors by the power rails look exploded or leaky this is the only repair you can make without the electronics expert. They are the aluminum capped ones with the blue or red…

From a construction standpoint the whatsminer is, in all certainty the best, designed and built using the newest and most reliable technology. So much so that now the newest revision of the S19J pro are built similarly…

I the other hand do recommend you use reclaimed ASICS. Given the age of the Antminer 17 series, it’s impending obsolescence and the retail price of these chips, there’s two driving factors with regard to repairing these…

This is really frustrating. Where's the ADC that monitors the power coming into the board showing "actual_vol = 0.00"? I'm checking out an S17, but I think this issue is found on all bitmain boards. The ADC stands for…

Durability and longevity. This means using the latest industry standard design and technology. Metal backed circuit board, wettable flank ASIC, bolt on Heatsinks, etc.

Totally agree with you — patience really is the ultimate edge in this space. I’ve seen people overthink entries down to the dollar, but in the bigger picture, it's the conviction and consistency that matter more. DCA…

Hey everyone, I wanted to start this poll to see how many of you actually managed to snag those perfect entry points during the last big accumulation phase. One of my early followers on eToro just hit over 500% gains,…

Soldering to the ground plane of a hashboard With a soldering iron is a difficult operation, you may just find your crown plane is dissipating more Watts than the soldering iron is supplying. This is going to lead to a…

Cost and convenience. Cost: When time is money especially for our purpose designing something and getting it running on a chip with just a few clicks of a button is huge. When you decide to take the final design from…

I find this thread highly entertaining. Wether people really understand the differences between the architectures, software, and silicone processes are used to create these entirely different technologies and try to…

The answer is a lot more simple than that. Efficiency is a factor of two variables, the number of transistors needed to perform the task and the nanometer process used to create those transistors. FPGA‘s are wonderfully…

The number one major design flaw of these high density 17 Series is the fact that soldered on the heatsinks only sound good in theory. In reality you have to bond copper to Silicon in order for the heatsinks to have…

As a connection gets warm it will oxidize. Resistors are made out of metal oxides. As power continues to flow through the resistive material it only gets hotter and eventually compass or melts the receptacle. Heavy duty…
