Received S17 Pro yesterday afternoon but did not have any time for testing.

Had 45 minutes spare this morning so done a bit of limited testing in the kitchen. In normal mode it was consuming 2400W, hahsrate started about 10Th/s and was slowly climbing, do to limited time available I switched to low power mode after couple of minutes so highest I saw was 44TH/s. I am sure it would have gone higher if I waited longer, power consumption remained stable at 2400W. Noise was lower than S9 but higher pitch and so more annoying, at least to me. Fans running 3500-4200rpm

In low power mode it's consuming about 1850W, with ~40Th/s, lower noise and lower pitch, much more pleasant to the ear, about the same level as L3+ I would say. Battery has run out on my dB(a) meter, but phone app shows 55-60, not sure how accurate this is. Fans running 2400-3100rpm

Not tested turbo mode so far.

Need to modify the enclosure to have it running 24/7 and do not have much time so probably will not get much more testing done before weekend.

Only a couple of listings on e-bay for S17 and no complete listings so hard to judge resale value. It cost me about £2010 including duties so considering ebay and Paypal fees + postage it would probably need to be at least £2.5k to make it worth while selling it. Might put it on ebay for £2.7-3k with best offer and see what happens.
