So I finally got my SX Core chip in the United States. I pre-ordered from TXSwitch on 5/20/20. (57 days ago) It took 20 days to ship (6/9/20), 6 days to get the US, held and drove across the country twice by Newgistics/Pitney Bowes for 30 days, then finally delivered by the USPS 1 day after they received it. If you're in the US and order something from China and it gets picked up by Newgistics/Pitney Bowes - expect to wait a few extra weeks for it to arrive.

Preorder was worthless. I should have just ordered from aliexpress when they came in stock.

Should have went with DHL. Got ours on June 12th or so.

Do you honestly think it is worth more than $40 an hour? It doesn’t take that long but let’s round up. $40 an hour for as many hours as you want a day, for as many days a week as you want, for as long as you choose. It should not cost more to install than the item itself, there is no way that is justified. The added value of the device should not be attributed to the installer since they did not invent it. Just the action of installing it, at $40 an hour for some light soldering seems reasonable. Nurses and Dental assistants don’t make $40 an hour for their efforts and their job is much more difficult.

Edit: removed because I had a direct conversation with prophour and they seem cant reply here further.

Evening, newcomer here. Just signed up to say I purchased a SX Core from the often mentioned Ali shop beginning with Y. Thank you for the link about 50 pages back whoever posted it.

Good to hear they're at least good with that. My experience with them was trying to get a bulk discount, and they offered like 5$ off the total. Another store gave me 10% off and free DHL shipping, so I went with them.

Arrived today, installed one fine! The soldering was actually easier than I expected, and had a harder time getting everything taken apart. NAND backing up right now

Rest in peace.

The pads from the left one looks really good, the other one seems a bit messed up (flux?), but I think it's fixable, I guess ^^

whats the right heat for those little components?
i mean... i know i m not supposed to hit those small parts long times with that hot iron but ... yeah...
i usually go between 320 and 350 .... but that seems to be a bit too hot for those small parts?

What I get that's the correct temps. But if you keep it there for an extended amount of time it will probably burn. I would bet the user who solder that part didn't use flux, or at least not enough of it. Or extremely hot iron.
