Title: X6500 FPGA won't mine??? Post by: mjester93 on March 07, 2013, 11:59:32 PM Hey, I just recently acquired a X6500, in hoping to break even before the wave of ASICs come in. However, when I plug the FPGA up to my computer, I'm getting around 38mhash/s. What's going on???

However, when I plug the FPGA up to my computer, I'm getting around 38mhash/s. What's going on??? What OS, and what mining software? USB hub, or connected directly to a motherboard USB port? How are you powering the x6500? Have you tried a different USB port? Have you tried rebooting? Does the hashrate vary, or is it consistent? Is the hashrate equal between the two FPGAs, or unequal? What pool? Title: Re: X6500 FPGA won't mine??? Post by: mjester93 on March 08, 2013, 01:33:43 AM Hey, I just recently acquired a X6500, in hoping to break even before the wave of ASICs come in.

What pool? I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64, directly connected to motherboard usb port. The FPGA is using the circle power supply thing (12v). After reboot, I managed to get it up to around 50mhash/s, and it's consistent at that. Both of them are equal. I'm using the Modular Python Mining software on BTCGuild.

You can select faster bitstreams at: In the MPBM web interface: Workers > (select the board) Then change the firmware file to /ztexmerge_200mhz.bit (or one of the slower fixed-speed bitstreams) or x6500-overclocker-0402.bit (variable clock speeds).

Post by: davecoin on March 08, 2013, 04:44:44 AM tml is also available for x6500 (should give you higher mh/s than mpbm):
