True, ASICs are more efficient for Bitcoin's SHA256. GPUs can’t compete anymore.

I’ve heard good things about zeusbtc. Maybe reach out to them?

Did you manage to figure this out? Normally, M21S fans can hit around 7000 RPM, so 6200 isn't crazy high. Maybe your power supply's voltage or current fluctuated, which could've made the fans speed up. If you want to…

For real, the S19 XP Hyd is the top dog for hash rate at 255TH/s, but it’s still in pre-sale. The Antminer S19 Pro+ Hyd is probably your best bet right now since it’s available with a solid 198TH/s.

I’d go for the BM1397AG chip. That's the original for the S17+. Most chips in the 17 series play nice together, but if you can grab the original, do it. Different serials can mean varying voltages for the chips.

If you're after an S19 Pro, ZeusBTC has a 'Get Quote' button for their miners. Might be worth checking out.

So, I checked Bitmain’s specs. The S19 Pro is smaller than the S19a Pro. Both have a hash rate of 110T though. But the S19a Pro might have different chips compared to S19 Pro.

With Bitcoin's price drop, the mining equipment prices are also falling. So yeah, it might be a decent time to grab a miner. But consider if you're going for new or used. What’s your budget? Also, local electricity…

I recently tried out the Avalon debug D signal shorting board while fixing a hash board from the Avalon 10 series. If the test fixture shows 0 or any number, it doesn't really matter if the C and CK signals are okay or…

The link you’re using is dead, dude. Not sure if your firmware is right. The latest one listed is Whatsminer-M2x-all-20220511.19.bin, and it says if your miner's firmware is older than 2021, you should upgrade after…

If you're still hunting for S17 miners, I’d say be careful. These things often have issues with cooling fins coming off during shipping. You might want to look for ones with upgraded heatsinks. Or just go for the S19,…

I have a 1066, but it's down at the moment. Would really help if Avalon released some manuals. There’s not enough maintenance info out there. I want to grab a 1246 but no schematics are available.

Everyone experiences different common issues with their miners. Recently, a video popped up on the Zeusbtc channel about easily damaged ASIC parts. Might help clarify things for you. Definitely worth a look, here’s the…

So I got this error on my T17, says EPPOR FAN LOST. Is my fan dead or what? How to figure this out?

Not sure it’s just a cable issue. Could be some network lag or IP address conflicts messing things up. Let us know how you sort it out later.
