HELP! I am running at 200mhz @ 41C. I am getting the following
xoxxxxxx xxxxoxxx oooooooo xxxxxxxx
xxoxxxxx xxxoxxxx xxxxxxxx oooooooo
It starts 20+ mins after startup.
Trying to get a screen shot of hashing.
Running 1000AE RAIDMAX PSU.
bad psu also why 200mhz? it has 4 rails not one. each rail can do 1 wire to the s-5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152044Agreed, you'll have to get another PSU to test with before we can get any meaningful information off it. The method of failure (mixed x's and o's) is STRONGLY power related, and the PCBs failing (not a coincidence both at once) would have no impact on the controller not booting. Your 12V is likely no longer 12V or generally duff on your PSU. |

Would high discard numbers relative to another indicate a network problem?
How high is high? Difficulties the same? If by relative you mean to an entirely different mine somewhere else then it could be because of higher ping, but within the same installation its unlikely. |

Thank you. But this is more expensive then buying in the normal shop... More news soon, everyone's just rev'ing up again after the big holiday. |

In the last 16 hours I have encountered the situation presented below twice. Hash drops down to 10-20gh and the error message keeps popping up. Both times I caught this happening I was able to correct it by simply unplugging the usb cable and plugging it right back in. Any idea what is causing this? Using cgminer.
Two equally likely things causing this, intermittent power or less likely intermittent 'data'. Some have had success replacing the USB cable, while others by replacing the PSU. If you're not on a powered hub then its also worth trying that as there's a not insignificant amount of 5V draw. |

It looks to me like Minera only runs on Linux, is that correct?
I ordered two more of these little UFOs to put on my desk, they're pretty fun little miners!
Minera is primarily used on Pis, correct. |

I want to be in control of the table borders width, and cellspacing and cellpadding. I also want to be able to change the background color of the table. I want to be able to change the background color of the table cells. And I would like to be able to control the background color of the posting page, behind the tables, that area.
None of those are features of smf / BBcode, its simply not there. Your example in post #4 is exactly what the table should look like with what you've entered. It likes to collapse tables to minimum width, and so any columns with a column to the right will collapse to their minimum size. |

You support Technobit. Not their customers.
You should be warning people OFF them not promoting them and hoping for Marto to pump out more crap and late products.
Be honest Technobit is a mess and people should avoid them.
Let us be clear. Avalon or whatever you call them now are the same people that caused millions in losses to this community. No matter how DOGIE wants to play it you would be advised to avoid anything from that company in solidarity for those that lost a lot of money on their bullshit and they never ever compensated anyone for that nor did they apologize.
There is little left in consumer based mining and thankfully that means people who continue to prop up companies that have scammed and are scamming will have little to support as things move forward. End of era but clearly you need to avoid Avalon 4.1 and Technobit as well as Bitcrane.
I will let you handle the warning jobs. I am a customer support after all. Support isn't support when you're ignoring fraud. Dogie knows all about that. *sigh*, what is it now? |

I have tried to change my mining pool several times to something other than ghash.io, and it keeps reverting back. While it may really like that pool I have tried to change to bitminter and multipool.us without success.
Why does it hang onto the ghash? How do I make the changes stick?
It is very frustrating.
Thanks.
Please post your questions in the thread designed for Antminer S4 questions, you already have 2 additional threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=796839.0Download SD card imager and use it to flash the backup SD card image I put up in post #2. If this doesn't work you'll have to replace your SD card. |

One *dog called dogie Avoid Bitcrane as they are unlikely to have more products out
That's based on something other than thin air right? they use hard to get chips from a scammy company
Also known as helping to increase the value of the estate in order to reduce the damage done to consumers of said company? Avalon has caused millions of dollars in losses to the community so avoid them just because it is the right thing to do.
Then its a good job Canaan Creative aren't Avalon. Its as silly as me blaming you for Technobit's problems, they're just not the same thing. |

How does one even get a ban in the first place while trying to do something productive. You must have really gone out your way to get banned  |

When I turn on my C1 (yes, the water cooled model) it kicks up the fan to high speed while it initializes and boots. Is that how loud a S5 is, or is it much louder than that?
I see several videos on youtube from users replacing their fans to silent type fans, is there a particular setup that works the best to quiet these S5's? I saw that one video where the guy was using a white silent fan from AAB Cooling, which I couldn't hear from it at all. What is everyone buying to keep their rigs more quiet? I assume they are adding another fan on the other end and switching both fans to other brands. There are hundreds out there, ranging from 1600-2000 rpm's mostly....what's the best setup for this S5 to make it quiet?
That's the last thing I would want to do. I saw a video on youtube where the dude has his S5 running with two silent fans and it's only 43 decibels. That I can live with. I doubt no one wants to spend another couple hundred dollars on a water kit. Just more work and watts.
No, an S5 is much louder. The C1's fan is an 'S3' fan which maxes out about 1600RPM lower and has a different sound profile to it on top. I'd be very scepital about users 'silencing' an S5 without running it in a cold ambient or extremely hot. There are a lot of board components other than just the ASICs which require cooling and reducing airflow disproportionately affects these component. The closest you're going to get to 'silent' is 2x Corsair SP120s (high performance editions). They're not silent, but they're not horrendous either. Do these Corsair SP120s produce enough airflow? 63CFM? Is that enough? http://www.corsair.com/en/air-series-sp120-high-performance-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fanI am looking at 2x Coolmaster Jet Flow 120mm fans and not sure if they are enough. they do 90CFM. Yes its enough because its not just about CFM, its the relationship between CFM and static pressure. Think of CFM as the absolute best case scenario. If a fan has a lower static pressure, its much much less likely to achieve that effective CFM when in situ. Argh its hard to explain, but the answer to your question is "yes, absolutely". |

Yes, It goes to 1.3 comfortably and far beyond because the board quality and cooling system has so much headroom. There's not much point going above 1.3TH as you start dropping efficiency quite rapidly. They changed the 'rating' to 1.3TH because it was getting unfavourable comparisons to other miners that rate at their absolute maximum (ie SP20's '1.7' TH). |

Avalon4 is apparently fairly quiet, certainly compared to the S5/SP20 but I don't know how it would measure up to an S3's volume. Might check some reviews.
If you duct-tape some X1s together you can make a >400GH miner that's quiet, but that seems like a stupid idea. You could get a 4-stack of BTCGarden AM-V1, would run a little over 600GH and the fans on them aren't too bad I think. Not the best W/GH, but that can be improved with hardware tweaks.
Avalon4 is significantly quieter than an S3, you can literally make them noiseless at 25C and stock clocks. AM-V1s are pretty loud, louder than most other things in the same generation. And just how quiet is the bitcrane unit? Haven't found any videos on em so they're not exactly popular at all.
I am pretty sure they use watercooled Hashfast boards, so I doubt they will be making many more of them (BitCrane) so whatever stock they have is about all they got I imagine. They're not quiet, there's pretty powerful fans on those radiators. |

Is the datasheet available for the BE300S ?
This has been asked by others and me before, any info yet ? I've been unable to raise them for quite some time now. They're ether super busy or hunkering down. |

Isn't there a proper antpool thread somewhere? Bitmain talk is useless. What am I missing here?
https://forum.bitmain.com/ is usually a bit quicker on software / site related things. |

The numbers are being tossed around but they are the reason for problem.
You can not do the work fast enough due to the shit coin flooding the controller with work
If the Diff setting assigned the miner by the server is too low, then yes, the miner wouldn't be able to keep up, but why should that cause a lockup? That sounds like a firmware issue to me. My experience mining various SHA-256 coins is that the servers generally set higher Diffs in order to hold down their interrupt levels. West/NiceHash allows setting the initial Diff in the password (e.g."d=512") which indicates they also actively control it. It seems unlikely they would deliberately excessively lower the Diff recognizing the increased impact on their server. Are we sure this is what's happening? I don't know about westhash specifically but a lot of pools are running var diff, which starts with very low diff shares and increases as the miner reports higher hashrate. If the miner can't run with a 'shit tonne' of low diff shares, its hashrate never climbs. As you say it would be great if the controller doesn't eventually lock up, but that's the reality. If you use it inappropriately then its not going to work as we want it to. |

Stable after ~16 hours mining with stock config, 54.8gh. Although looking through this entire thread for the first time I wished I looked at the factory psu before I left for work, I hope it doesn't melt while I'm out. Looking to wire it to my comp psu and adjust volt/freq to get over 60gh. Fun product, perfect for a first time miner like myself who just wanted something to mess around with. Go go magic lottery hash!  My stock PSU is still going strong since pre release. Even if it was to fail, it won't can't cause a fire. |

How safe is or would it have any effect on the miner if I were to have the ATX PSU run off a modified wave inverter? We have 2 -6 hour power outages in SA.  I don't want to destroy the PSU or the miner in anyway. I am getting mixed responses online about using modified wave inverters. So, the wave inverter would be powered by 12VDC batteries? Why not power the S5 from the batteries? The S5 needs a common 12vdc bus I think they said. So, batteries to the 12V bus connector board and the power supplies charging the batteries. Oh, you probably fire up a gas engine generator. You'd need quite a few 12vdc batteries to drive miners for 2-6 hours. Be an interesting experiment - take a miner to a fully charged car battery and flip a series switch then watch how long it keeps hashing while taking stats on remaining voltage and hashrate until it dies. Don't even attempt to power S5s direct from batteries. A 12V battery is almost guaranteed not to be 12V and as with all batteries will have a varying output voltage as it discharges. This is a pretty typical voltage chart of a '12V' car battery but you could get a lot worse, especially in relation to high start voltage. Is 4 hours of mining time really worth a fried S5?  |
