they wont hash. i had all 4 running. one i messed up and it only hashes at half speed. the other ones idk what happened but they just time out. i now only have 1 full hashing board.
If they do not hash but simply timeout, then cgminer debug won't have anything for you either. For the ones that don't hash: 1. When they are connected, do they flash the green light and timeout at the golden nonce or do they report an error code? 2. Were you running them without a heatsink, and if so, did you have a fan blowing over them? EDIT: Also, what setting(s) were you using? 3. Plug all of them in and check Device Manager (windows) to see if they all appear as whatever driver you chose or HID devices. If they appear as Unknown, then it may be a driver issue (long shot, but lets cover our bases). when i came home from work one was hashing at ~10ghs. i unplugged the usb converter then power cycled it and plugged it back in and no hashing. 1. no flashing, just golden nonce, no error 2. the chips have small heatsinks on the front and were placed on something for heat transfer through the back. i also had placed gridseed pods on the heatsinks on the chips with fans running 3. they come up as cp2102 usb to uart converter. side note when i plug in a uart converter with out being connected to a blade i get the golden nonce. both non working boards have .8v across the board and the first chip has 3.3v, so maybe the crystal? |

no config file, i try to use my other one and i get an internal error. i get nothing when i run curl.exe. if i load cgminer.exe i can only input my pool/user/pass. i can load cgminer with a .cmd with my info in it but it dont hash well with the bmsc options, if i take the options out it will load but not find my blade. i give up, i will use my cgminer 3.8 for the u1 and discard the other blades and hash on the 1. Start cgminer with just one blade, then add the others after. Also, what command line options are you using? Some of the options on this thread are for underclocking / undervolting .... I run mine with the following: cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:1 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u pekatete -p x --bmsc-freq 4F81 --lowmemwith 3.8.5 but you should be able to set a timeout of 0.53 with that one. i am trying to figure out why 2 boards are not hashing. he wanted me to use the -d cgminerlog.txt command to see if its seeing the chips and what they are returning. it wont run with that command. so he suggested a diff cgminer where somewhere in this thread i have seen it report all the chips right in the cmd. nothing i have will return that info or will allow the commands or my configs. |

how do i check that? im a noob at this stuff. the board that hashes at 1/2 speed has no VDD on string 3 and it looks like its a bad tps53355dqpr, well R41 is only registering .08V so maybe thats it.
sounds like thats your trouble point, just switch it out with a new one, as klondike_bar said, you can often get them for free, or if you have to pay for them, just buy a new one, they are not expensive :-p (what i meant was when you start cgminer, it will throw a bunch of lines with chip numbers on, and if you start from a power off to power on, each board should report back 32 answers, thats how you can see how many of the chips are responding) i dont see anything like that. ok, could you do the following: add -D 2>&1 |tee ./cgminerlog.txt (if your running linux)to the end of your cgminer command line, and let it run for 30 seconds, then post it online and give me a link to the cgminerlog.txt file else -D >cgminerlog.txt nope cgminer wont load with that command. im using the old cgminer-run for the u1. i tried compiling one with mingw.......... ummmm yea if anyone has something i can dl and put my info in and run that would be great. |

sobe-it is correct  Is this your PSU  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817553008If so,it has 6 rails.It may have been connected incorrectly (cables changed around by the seller or last user),not sure what your machine looks like inside. But it'll take a bit of math to make sure your not overloading one of the rails. From the pics on newegg, it looks like the PSU has 4 8 pin PCIE cables,be sure you use only 1 connector from each cable. This is why multi rail PSU's are a pain in the butt,with single rail PSU's you just need to worry about overloading each cable so as not to burn up the cable.With multi rail PSU's you have to be careful not overload each "rail"...& the rails are not always identified as to which cable they serve,a rail can serve several cables  Schematics are not always available to track down the rails  Can you take pics of inside the miner & show how the PCIE cables are connected Maybe we can get it sorted that way,it's a start anyhow It's possible the PSU may have gone bad,but we won't call that one yet well if its a thunder x6 you have 2 pcie plugs. each plug goes to a blade inside and then there's a jumper from that board to the other. but basically each plug goes to pair of blades inside. so you could be pulling 450w-500w+ off one rail which is way too much. |

well the 3rd of 4 boards has went down. so i am now forcing myself to troubleshoot to the best of my abilities. 2 boards just dont work at all and the 3rd hashes very slow, possibly just one string of chips hashing but no light flashing. it looks like we can put leds on pin 48 and pin 49 to check each chip status, the stock led on the s1 boards are connected to the last chip on the last string. more likely just pin 49 (RF) since thats all that blinks on the s1 board as far i have seen. any help would be great, i have voltage on the big caps in between chips and these were all pencil modded to ~.8V and the resistors still measure correctly.

if you draw too much of a load on a multiple rail psu it will trip and shut down for protection other wise it could damage the psu/what ever is connected to the psu/ or cause a fire. if you have a multimeter see if another cable has power, you can also hook up a computer fan/lights and like hardware that you can visually see if its still running or turned off. i am not familiar with that psu but if your cable from the psu splits into 2 pcie plugs at the end use just one plug. plug in/use another cable from the psu to plug into the other plug of the miner.

If it shuts down when you load cgminer you may be tripping your psu off. Check for power on another cable once the miner stops working. I was having this exact issue even tho my psu was 1000w, it would shut down and send errors. Either its pulling to many amps off the rail or its not strong enough. My zeus pulls ~500 at the wall.

i have a thunder x6 and i use cgminer 3.1.1... i believe its this one here http://cryptomining-blog.com/3216-download-cgminer-3-1-1-with-zeusminer-x6-scrypt-asic-support-for-windows/ nothing else would work for me on win7 or XP (the folder says cgminer X6 series) sometimes the zeus can be iffy. some times i have to load cgminer then turn on my psu and then plug the usb in. also check and see inside if all your cables are connected in/out kind of like in this picture (the yellow/black/red) https://i.imgur.com/SPTISsel.jpgi also was using a cable from the psu with a double pcie end and it wouldnt work right and sometimes trip the psu even though it was a 1000w. the zeus miner also has dip switches on the boards, if not set right it will not see the boards correctly and error out. read the post a few post down about the switches https://zeusminer.com/forums/topic/thunder-x3-running-at-15mhs/what x6 is this? you HAVE to make sure you have the right chip/clock count or it WILL give you issues. ex. my thunder x6 likes clk 210-230 on 128 chip count i have had hell setting up and hashing but it works well now. i guess from what i read quality control after assembly wasn't the best and some times things get jarred around while being shipped. |

I also wonder whether we can run a couple (maybe more) in parallel / serial off one connector by changing the number of asics, i.e, for the 400MHz string, rather than change the board number to 3, change the asics number multiplied by 3 e.g --bmsc-options 115200:1:96:35:4F81 --lowmem
I tried parallel running with no options and a bunch of options, couldn't set freq to start hashing. Some where I this thread somebody said it wouldn't work because of duplicate chip I'd or something like that. Maybe it can be coded to work... not sure. |

As title states i have a zeus thunder x6 that averages 20mhs on 210-220 clk. this is under clocked technically and its pulling 490 @ the wall on a rosewill 80+ rated psu so it can get better mhs/watt with a better power supply. I have had it for a month or 2. Currently it makes about .5 LTC a day which equals .005 BTC a day. (I have made a good amount mining other coins shortly after launch like BTM) Im looking to get $10/mhs shipped (which seems the going average) within the US, so at the current rate I'm asking .5 BTC I will also consider some sha256 hardware swaps, or partial BTC and some hardware. Escrow is fine if you find a trusted member here and cover fees if any. Regarding HW swaps please check my trust, i have done a HW swap and a few Paypal transactions. Thanks! Edit: The 2 of the stock loud fans were replaced with coolermasters and the 3rd unhooked. Let me know if you want the stockers in and hooked up or the coolermasters.    |

anyone built an outdoor mining cabinet? I want to put some S1 or S3 units outdoors for the winter, but am afraid that wayward snow/slush/debris on my balcony (its an apartment) might get sucked in or otherwise contact the equipment.
The solution in my mind is a 4-walled box (bottom,top,sides) with 1-2 fabric filters over the inlet/exhaust sides of the box (mostly the inlet). Main concerns are the inlet fabric icing over (if heat removal is too effective) or being the target of pigeon intrusion (yeah these guys are a messy problem - and a huge source of dust and debris on the balcony)
you can plumb it to a universal car intake (cone) filter and if need be some have optional shielding or do some DIY. Edit: something similar to this: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjUwWDY1MA==/z/O4EAAOxyn~pR227c/$T2eC16JHJHUFFfhDpWd3BR227cLk-g~~60_35.JPG |

He said its a Yoli, but i dont have it in hand yet so I can't tell you any specifics yet. Max claimed speed was 100 Ghs.

I just bought a used Yoli Evo/Habanero, i have a few questions. The guy claims he was having speed issues, would this be a hw or sw issue? What is the heat sink config, 775/115X? I have a 775 water cooling loop that has been collecting dust in the package, I could make a new mounting setup if need be. Thanks in advance!

my cp2102s are a bit quirky too, i ended up connecting ground from cp2102 to ground on the blade connector, and it suddenly worked...
THAT WAS IT!!! I connected ground on one of the blades, fired up cgminer from FirewalkerX. Boom, hashing at 65GH/s!! uart and and blade flashing like mad. Poolside even shows 65GH/s. Sweeeeeeeet. Also, very low error rate on this one blade, 0.03%. that's what i posted pages ago, hooked rx,tx,gnd and had no issues.  |
