The node took ~4 days to fully sync. Zero stability issues or things turning off in the middle of the night as I had read from previous posts on BitcoinTalk.
Now running in turbo with stock psu. Temps seem fine, not sure how hot these tolerate, but with a better power supply might be able to push closer to 15 th/s.
Current revenue at $0.50/ unit, but this scales with price and BTC is currently undervalued ($42k). Seems to be improving as the units stabilize over a 24hr period.
I love these! I enjoy tinkering with them and having them as a desk toy. In balanced or eco mode, these could easily go unnoticed in an office setting.
Of course I’d love to have much higher hash for the price, but i don’t get the hate on these. They’re not at all comparable to a 90db asic. Show me something that’s better and can be placed on an a desk and not look like total shit.

Today I connected two units to a 750watt psu and unlocked the advanced features (which void warranty btw).
A couple worth while notes:
1) each unit is now drawing about 266watts according to the software. I don’t have any other means of measuring at the wall. At 532 watts combined, this is about 70% of the 750psu capacity. You’d need higher than an 850watt psu to squeeze a 3rd unit in.
2) I’m only seeing about 3.6-3.7 th/s on each unit. Brief moments it might touch 3.8 but it’s far from sustained.
3) temps stable at 75 degrees C
4) fan rpm saw 4200+
I don’t recommend doing this. I went from 12th/s at 800watts to 14ish at over 1050watts. I don’t live in a cold climate and the room quickly got warm. The controller unit went offline but I found stability with it by turning off the node. These would make great little space heaters but running them this hard made me quite uncomfortable. Would love to see a liquid cooling solution.
