which firmware?

I have march 6? i think

this should be better


--avalon8-voltage-level -1



especially so in hot rooms.

I am getting a second setup from them.
I will be able to create better testing this way.

I can  place one unit in an ac room  one unit in hot garage.

Do comparisons.
I can do newer firmware on one.


@ Alh  I think

it's possible to combine the avalon8-voltage-level value along with the avalon8-voltage-level-offset value.

Will do more testing on it.

I will also be getting some  sorcerer psus from canaan.

Should have some fun.

Thanks Steve makes sense Because in a 95 f room with 39/92 set to stock clock

That 92 is still well under 105 shut down guard.

I am happy that slight downclocks are working so well NJ temps got to 90f today so the down clock worked well .

I know temps will moderate in fall and I will have a solid 7 months of above spec numbers.

So a few months of just short of spec are not a big deal at all.

Don’t fuck with the guy.

He made an effort to listen to you. His  correction was over zealous.

At op your gpus are already in c. So they are 80c which is just okay.

The only way a gpu does 27c while Mining would be with high end water coolers

The big attraction to the coin is not that it is anynonmous coin .  The developers have touted this for more then a year.  What that does is make the coin a target for law enforcement.

The big attraction to the coin was asics did not mine it and nvidia whales on it.

Zec could try killing any card under 10 gb.

This would make all  cards die other then the 1080 ti.  I think it would also kill asics. The developer could score if he did this since he would know only 1080 ti would be exclusive .

--avalon8-voltage-level -3 = 10751.58GHs 32/66c 980 watts

--avalon8-voltage-level -2 = 11680.80GHs 33/67c 1071 watts

--avalon8-voltage-level -1 = 11878.42GHs 33/71C 1123 watts


my guess is try -2

report back on these numbers

Temperature©

37 / 73


you will be close to the 37 since the room is hot

maybe you will be 38/82   with the bold setting above.

since auto shut down is 105  (I would not go over 100)

my guess is try that bold setting.

your hash will drop a bit under 13000  but  you won't burn up the gear.

Note I am quoting megaquake's numbers above which are close to mine except his are in a cooler room then mine or yours.

So to repeat this setting

--avalon8-voltage-level -2      = 11680.80GHs   33/67c 1071 watts

but you are warmer so maybe you  do

11680.80GHs 38/80c 1121 watts

look for big differences and let us know what you get. So we can get a bigger data base.


Please note I asked steve of canon to sell me more gear as I want to do more tests and run 2  units.

My first test unit was free of charge .  The next one I am buying.

@ frodo

 I will have to test it I am going to need to order more avalon 841's to test side by side.

I mined 5200   and 6600 

the 5200 coins were hodl


most of the 6600 I sold from 00000450 to 00000620

So all the sales paid for power and the  5200 are my fingers crossed they just sit in a rvn wallet.

I got lucky with some gear sales  sold gear at an okay price when coins were 8000 usd.   coins are now 9700  so  my 4000 in sales = 4850 not bad.

Nope.

Here is why

5 t1s
2 2/3 s9s
11 l3+
1 a3
8 ltc usb sticks
1 Avalon 841
18 x 1080tis
Free power is 72 amps of 240 derate is done about 18 k watts

Summer power rates start in 28 days 18 cents

So 25 k watts of gear  means 8 kwatt at 20 cents

That is about 38 a day over. Say 1200 a month over cap.

Raven needs to take off to save me.

Show me an address that you purchased one today.

I can try,  sometimes it is possible

I use server psus much more often then the Corsair.

I got four Corsair on sale for 860 usd which is still 215 usd each.

There are a few options

I like the hp 1200 server it does 900 watts at 110 volts

It can be found for 80 usd so two are 160 usd

1080ti need equiforks or big time rvn jump

I will also pass.  
I sold a lot of gear.  
I will hold the 18x 1080ti's.
I have left and see how it shakes out.

My 10 L3+ look better now then last week.

was this one found ?

I quoted me quoting him

MY problem is to be sure is I do not know where I read his stuff that he wrote but I know I just read it somewhere



I bolded  what I think he did    Cryptodetails  maybe someone else can find those sentences


Edit I found them here

When we set out with the goal to bring a new generation of Bitcoin miner to market, we wanted to push the envelope and innovate in a way that would stimulate further competition. Making BTC miners however, is surprisingly difficult because they they need to achieve extreme conditions. We chose the route of developing a 10nm chip because it was the newest technology available at the time with promising advantages. However, after 14nm the physics change and introduce harder engineering challenges due to the small scale. One of the common misconceptions is that the smaller the nm size, the greater efficiency one will gain. In reality, gains are tempered by losses in other areas due to the new physics.


so I guess I am correct.

still above 13.0 spec




--avalon8-voltage-level -1    are you doing this setting or

--avalon8-voltage-level-offset -1




all of these   below reduce hash a bit and temps and watts a lot



--avalon8-voltage-level -1
--avalon8-voltage-level -2
--avalon8-voltage-level -3
--avalon8-voltage-level -4

they seem to work far better

then

--avalon8-voltage-level-offset -1 or -2

yes  if you look at all my videos on this unit many are with a corsair ax1500i as the psu.

that runs on 110 volts


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEctJaz4Mo0    this shows  max    i would not do a 110 volt line at this setting and temp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvWXJTYrW9o   somewhere in the middle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIe4dDiqnkQ    this shows  downclock

I am not skeptical if op succeeds he will be rich.

Not sure if it will help  the crypto-world.
It will certainly help the op.

A rig with a quality gpu was able to make money for more then 2 years.
Say Dec 2015 to  May 2018  .  I would think  close to a billion people could be making coin if they chose to do so.

With FPGA the customer base will shrink to under a million  can't see that being good for crypto coins.
But what do I know.

you need a friend that lives near you to order one.

1400 watts and pretty loud.
