Sorry I was at work and didn't have time to photoshop where it was, However Asinine covered it.

The biggest problems are Cooling and the Wobble caused by the cooling. You also really need the Heatsinks on the regulators.

Spotswood's Case Really Helps, stabalizes the Cards as well as allows you to get the fans right on the cards. Make sure to get high CFM fans as well.

My cards are all stabilized and have good fans directly next to the cards (similar to yours, but without the great case (I am on the waiting list for one)).  My rig is very stable with chainminer.  Just not with bfgminer or cgminer.  My only issue with chainminer is the lack of support for failover.

I'll try heatsinks.  Which piece is the voltage regulator and are there any gotchas or risks to be aware of?

If you look at the picture here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251966.msg3516385#msg3516385 Just underneath and slighty to the right of the the big square Pulse thing ( I dont know what its called or what it does) there is a smaller square you want one on top of that smaller square, and one on the other side of the smaller square covering the exposed metal.

Hope that makes Sense,

Doff

Just wanted to add that I also hate the fact that Chainminer has no Failover, id use cgminer if I could.

That was me.  The post is here; getting bfgminer running was pretty straightforward.  It needs to run as root to talk to the Bitfury hardware, but so does chainminer.  Action shot:

Thanks.  I did find you post and I used your image for a while, but my v3 hardware is apparently even more unstable than yours and while it does mine, there are still lots of errors and observed hashrate is about 20% lower than with chainminer (presumably because so many cores are erroring instead of hashing).

I wonder how viable it is for me to adjust the trimpots to reduce the voltage and un-overclock these just a little bit to increase stability.  I'd trade a little bit of hashrate for something that was more stable and for the ability to use a miner that gave me failover capabilities for when my primary pool is acting up.  But I don't own a voltage meter and I'm hesitant to just randomly start turning the trimpot "a little bit" counterclockwise.

Pictures of The case and fans below, the Box fan draws the air away from the Unit and I most likely do not need it anymore. I have all the trim pots turned slighty down since they were set a tad to high.







105  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics*** on: December 11, 2013, 04:48:13 PM
Does anyone know if it is possible to run any variation of cgminer or bfgminer on v3 boards?  I understand it wouldn't be officially supported, but I am willing to experiment a little and/or compile my own copy, etc.  I found some old forum posts elsewhere hinting that it might be possible, but they are very old and appear to be specifically for the v1/v2 boards and maybe were specific to the European version of the hardware (is there a difference?).

For reference, my reason for wanting to do this is that I am really trying to get my rig working with multiple pools.  At least for failover, but ideally for load balancing as well.  Both are built into cgminer/bfgminer.

There was a person in this post that got it working on V3 and had a nice write-up on how he did it, I am a bit too lazy to dig it up but it was in Mid November when he posted. You may be more willing to dig back a few pages in this post than I Smiley
106  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: megabigpower.com - expansion cards now available on: December 10, 2013, 08:09:42 PM
Id buy some of I can also get a V3 M-Board!

Lol
107  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics*** on: December 10, 2013, 04:03:20 AM
Well the part that I am annoyed with on top of the price is the fact I cant even buy a V3 M-board. So even if I wanted to spend the btc to buy an H-Board it would be useless.

Anyone can explain me why people its buying 0.10 shares when there's lots of them available for 10-15% less?

Are they hand outs in exchange of something?..
can't reach the sellers?
could be the basic "people its just dumb"...

What am i missing? =/

If I had to guess people are bypassing the cheaper shares to Invest directly back in to LRM. Those shares go directly to LRM where he will be using them to purchase more Hashing power and whatever else the company needs. If you buy the cheaper shares those shareholders get the BTC.

110  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics*** on: December 08, 2013, 04:45:19 AM
I have 4 v2 M-boards and 1 v1 M-board. Contact me if you're interested.

I just wanted a V3 so I could start to fill out a new board if Somehow BTC went back up to 1200+ to make these worth buying again. So I hope Dave decides to sell a few V3 boards as well as the H-Boards.
111  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics*** on: December 08, 2013, 04:32:59 AM
How do you get another V3 M-Board? Is there plans to sell M-Boards Dave?

Probably, but it will cost you a million dollars.

Haha, yeah double the price for an H-Board is a bit much. I was hoping they would go down in in price not up like everyone else I imagine.

Did you adjust your Pool difficulty to match the hashrate? If your are mining diff 1 shares it will slow down the miners like that.

Great news everyone!  It's dividend day!

Seems kinda quiet around here for dividend day...

This is a forum... Text isn't exactly loud...  Tongue

WHAT IF I TYPE LIKE THIS, DOES THAT HELP? Smiley
115  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: asicminer v2 blade issue on: November 28, 2013, 05:27:31 AM
i know i am doing it incorrectly but i can't figure out how to set up the proxy from the file provided by slush

it says ""If you want to connect to another pool or change other proxy settings, type "mining_proxy.exe --help" in console window.""

can't seem to get it to work maybe i am retarded don't know much about programming


It looks like you just need to change the port in that web Interface to 3333 and you are good to go, but again I just know nothing about the asicminer v2.
116  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: asicminer v2 blade issue on: November 28, 2013, 05:11:41 AM
I thought the port for Stratum on Bitminter was 3333? Those look like the ports for Non-Asic devices you have in your config there. I don't know anything about the asicminer v2 blade so maybe Im wrong.

Yeah here we go right on the main page. Connect to stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 (Stratum) or http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 (GBT or getwork).

Does the asicminer v2 use GBT or getwork? that cant be right.

Cool, np sorry for not getting that part. It seemed like the re-seller thing was for anyone. Looks like I will not be owning a KNC however.

Many people are willing to order for you, some for free. Check the previous few pages.

Thats ok, id rather not do that. Its fine that they reward loyal customers but I just find the way they did it a bit unappealing.
118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 28, 2013, 04:25:45 AM
I am guessing the link is done then, I still see no option to purchase.


its still there for me....

Sure it is...

yes, it is....im not quite sure what you are getting at?

I cant see it, tried 3 different browsers, either Joke's on me or its broke. I dunno which.


A. Are you a previous customer?

B. Are you logged in?

No to the first, yes to the second.

Ah! there it is, sorry man this sale is for previous "investors" only. you will be able to purchase one a few weeks from now. at a higher price though.
