Title: AvalonMiner 841 firmware upgrade Post by: ogombii on April 21, 2018, 09:26:18 PM Hi Guys,
Has anyone upgraded the Avalon 841s MM Firmware to Version 8411803-14b0f10 yet? Any advice/steer would be nice. The change log talks lists the following fixes: - Fix the led doesn't display red when the miner too hot - Update the miner too hot protection - Fix the total asic always display 0 I'm more interested in the "miner too hot protection" are there any details on what this means exactly? Thanks for any input. nb. fans are maxing out at 100% once temps are low 70s Centigrade and its whinnning like my old 955's piston!

Yes but the latest stable version is 2018-Mar-06 12:49 MMC and 2018-Mar-05 13:58 for the controller.

I dont understand what this has to do with anything. I just told the OP he can upgrade the MM without fear of damage. I have managed thousands of Avalons and I know for a fact that it is nearly impossible to brick a unit with a successful firmware update. Title: Re: AvalonMiner 841 firmware upgrade Post by: ccgllc on April 23, 2018, 08:36:12 PM Just for the record, I just upgraded all (11) of mine per Fanatic26's comment without a problem.

I apologize, meant no offence to your comment, I also agree that it is nearly impossible to brick a unit when flashing, just stating that the April firmware is in testing at this time.

So far, no issue. Title: Re: AvalonMiner 841 firmware upgrade Post by: ogombii on April 27, 2018, 05:40:24 PM Thanks everyone,
I've upgrade 841s firmware to the latest version, no issues and the fans is no longer stuck on 100%.
