Title: Is my Avalon trashed? Post by: H3nk on September 18, 2015, 08:29:56 AM I've got an Avalon2, and it was working for a few hours yesterday, but later in the evening I noticed, that the fan speeds became very unstable, it goes up and down with an interval of a few seconds.
The power consumption also fluctuates between 150 and 770 Watts. So I decided to shut it down for the night. Fired it up this morning, but the same shit is still going on. Fan 3 shows no temp, I replaced that one with one from an older type of rig, and it was there when it was still working properly. I know that it's not easy to perform remote diagnostics, but it could as well be, that someone else has encountered similar problems. Thanks in advance for the help. https://i.imgur.com/ggAoQvn.jpg Edit: for some reason the pic isn't shown, it shows the link instead, but it's safe. :P Title: Re: Is my Avalon trashed?

Brand, wattage should be enough. You'll easily find from users here that a good PSU is necessary to handle the constant load asked by a miner. I suspect that your PSU doesn't like to be loaded that much and drops voltage on the 12v line (but I can be wrong, I don't know the Avalon 2 units at all) Title: Re: Is my Avalon trashed? Post by: H3nk on September 18, 2015, 11:18:44 AM It ain't the PSU that's the culprit, else the system would be rebooting all the time, but that's not the case.
And the rig is a Sinosigma turnkey setup, so it's well designed. But the good news is, that it's stable for the last few hours, although the hash rate is 1/2 of yesterday's. ::) Now it's doing 90G, while it could be doing 1T... Title: Re: Is my Avalon trashed? Post by: GriffinHeart on September 18, 2015, 02:29:52 PM Make sure that all wires supplying power are in good condition and connected securely, I think you may have just pushed it too far under some sort of OC/bad environment conditions.

Mate of mine is moving house, and since the BT has collapsed big time, he decided to give 2 of them cunts to me, 1 200G, and 1 1T... But I assumed that the biggest case was the 1T, how wrong was I (goes to show that assumption is the mother of all fuck ups ;D), also because the web page of the 1T is proper wank, while the other one looks pretty slick. To cut a long story short, just fired up the right one, and the cunt is mining away with 1T, so the future looks bright and prosperous! :P Title: Re: Is my Avalon trashed?

A lot can depend on electricity price. Free is a nice price for a miner. What is your electricity price? And how many watts is the 1T taking? Title: Re: Is my Avalon trashed?

There's no such thing as a free lunch, leccy costs ~ € 0,20 over here, so with this BTC rate, it's only costing me. ;D Looks like it's time to buy a new miner, sorry man. Don't be sorry, I ain't. Think it's funny stuff to tinker with, if the BTCgoes up, then I'll break even, but it won't make me a mint, that's for sure.Talking about, since I'm a novice, I'm also clueless about a lot of things, and the thing is, that yesterday with the poor performing rig I mined a whopping BTC 0,00065, but right now with 1T, the balance is still the same piss poor amount after a few hours, so that can't be right... The only setting I can change, is the difficulty, and that's set on 512, could that be the problem? I can go up to 4096. Answers on a postcard, please.. |
