Title: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: warhawk187 on June 22, 2013, 10:47:59 AM Hello all,
I just received a nice shipment from BFL earlier today. Good start to the weekend: https://i.imgur.com/hBs9p6vh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XD47hjhh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5CpP5vNh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ENbeQzMh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EGuJUiBh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0yaznL3h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gft1sZ6h.jpg http://imgur.com/INiyH8e.jpg Any clues on getting the other 3 to hit 8Gh/s? Or is this what BFL meant when they had varying chip degrees?

Regarding hash rate, You bought 7 GH/s, not 8 GH/s... ;D but interestingly, the one that gives you 8 GH/s is the one with lower temperature... ::) Title: Re: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: goxed on June 22, 2013, 11:45:25 AM Hello all, I just received a nice shipment from BFL earlier today.

Yes, 2 Jalapenos arrived in Malaysia this week. Then I sold them off: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233486.20 Title: Re: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: thehairymob on June 22, 2013, 02:13:09 PM Great pics, congrats on getting your order. :)
Title: Re: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: warhawk187 on June 22, 2013, 06:04:19 PM Theyre actually cooler because of the placement in my room. Avg temps is 42C with ambient being 25C. Trying the fridge method because I have heard of such things. I am worried to take the case off, I presume the screws are under the rubber feet? Has anyone noticed a hashrate increase by taking the case off? Thanks for the help. To those of you waiting with 2012 orders, you're almost there. 2013 orders, good luck is all I have to say.
Title: Re: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: Photon939 on June 22, 2013, 07:02:04 PM mine doesn't hash any faster with the case off but it does run a lot cooler, i prefer my hardware to run as cool as possible
Title: Re: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: vapourminer on June 22, 2013, 10:03:55 PM I run mine caseless/fan blowing down and had a 10 C drop. 30 C now. didnt mine any faster though.
the best way to increase the hash rate is to flash it. AND keep it cool of course. Title: Re: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: warhawk187 on June 22, 2013, 10:29:33 PM I saw the thread on flashing the firmware, is there any step by step instruction to doing it so you don't brick it? I know it requires this: http://store.atmel.com/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:10500053#tc:supnote
Title: Re: Joining the ASIC party, BFL Jalapeno question Post by: vapourminer on June 22, 2013, 11:28:29 PM you need atmel studio 6.1 and a jtag cable. an old cut down 40 conductor IDE cable should work, I cut one down today but didnt test fit it yet. plus the source code from bfl of course.
when I get my dragon in a few days Ill post a quick howto. at some point Im sure someone will find a cheaper programmer, but till then the dragon is the cheapest one that will guaranteed work.

That would be awesome if you could! I'm sure people would reward you with some btc if you can ramp these guys up without bricking them. |
