Firmware v0.9.6 Results Update

4Hour Result


13Hour Result


Edit: 13 Hour results updated with proper temps.

Note: The first 4 hours were results in an ambient room temp of 19°C. For the remainder of the time I have lowered the ambient room temp close to the first test in order to see if the 24hour results will be the same as the previous test on firmware v0.9.5

Unlike before it seemed that now with this new firmware v0.9.6 every time you power the system on, I noticed that within the first 40 minutes performance would take a hit and more hardware errors would occur.

I am still not sure what the problem is.

One possibility could be potential noise on the power such as a motor or fridge compressor. Another possibility could be that this is the result of previously unlocked cores. However I never seen any offline before the update with the exception of  Module #3 on Jupiter #1 that had 4 turned off.

The UPS is my attempt of ruling out the possibility of performance issues due to power line noise and poor power conditioning.

I will swap the systems after my first 1 day results to see if this is indeed the case.

Similar with firmware v0.9.4, given time, both Jupiter Unit #2 and #3 HW error rates do drop considerably.

Here is the results after 2 hours on firmware v0.9.6




Compare with the results after 2 hour on firmware v0.9.5


Oh forgot to mention that on the results with firmware v0.9.5 both Jupiter #2 and Jupiter #4 were on the UPS pure sine wave outlet.
However for the tests with firmware v0.9.6 both Jupiter #1 and Jupiter#4 are on the UPS ups pure sine wave outlet.

Note: That all 4 units are plugged into two separate UPS devices. However one is conditioned outlet and the other is surge protected outlet.

I am testing how well these units handle noise on the power line.

Jupiter #1 and #4 are plugged into a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD UPS 1500VA 510W PFC compatible Pure sine wave outlet
Jupiter #2 and #3 are on the same outlet however with only a surge suppressor outlet.

Jupiter #1 and #2 are on the same UPS with only #1 using the conditioned power.
Jupiter #4 and #3 are on the same UPS with only #4 using the conditioned power.

Here are the results after 1 hour on the new firmware V0.9.6



At about 45 minutes in both Jupiter #2 and Jupiter #3 hardware errors started to go down. Seems firmware v0.9.6 may be power sensitive much like v0.9.4

Jupiter #1 and #4 hit the target of 550 GH/s only 2 mins from cgminer start.

Did you check if any of your asic modules had the "plastic" taken off the heatsink before being installed?

Some users have reported having that issue. You can read up on this from The Avenger who posted detailed pre-setup steps.

Here are the results of the units in the previous test after 1 day operating at 19°C -firmware v0.9.5

I wanted to compare the performance and efficiency between the two types of power supplies.

Seems the OCZ consumes more power than the corsair as it should considering the corsair 860i is platinum efficiency rated.

And one can see from the results that the corsair ax860i gives better performance, perhaps due to higher power efficiency.

I gauge performance by the total accepted shares.

Here is the detailed results comparing Unit #1 Jupiter between OZC1250 and Corsair AX860i Power Supply

Recent Test 1 day on OCZ1250 Power Supply - Firmware v0.9.5


Past Test 1 Day on Corsair 860i Power Supply - Firmware v0.9.5

Here are the results from 4 Jupiter systems running 24 hours on firmware V0.9.5 in an ambient room temp of 19°C with case cover on.

Note that I had to restart the test due to Jupiter3 restarting cgminer 6 hours into the first attempt. Since then I have replaced the intake fans on Jupiter3.
I have also included the power supply type I have been using on the Jupiters. I found that after 24 hours the Corsair AX860i(580watt) outperforms the efficiency of the OCZ1250(605watt) on Jupiter unit #1

From the results, your unit is operating within spec. What your ambient temp is?

Has anyone discovered how to put the additional pools on failover?

Does one have to upgrade the software in order to be able to do that?

Maybe this has something to do with the change in market sentiment towards BTC true value.

One can speculate that this effort to slow down capital movement out of the US as a measure taken by the fed in order for their future plans come feb 2014.

I have yet to load v0.9.6, So I can't say at this time.

However in the next 36hours I will be able to definitively answer that question.

Here are the results after 4 hours on firmware v0.9.5 - Ambient Room Temp 20

Replaced Both KnC (Jupiter 1) and KnC3 (Jupiter 3) intake fans have been replaced with high CFM ones.

Those systems seem to have the poorest performance of the lot.

Results after 3 hours


Results after 4 hours

nice.
