 Hey you all wire experts who've worked on the S1 power cabling. This is StarTech.com 6-Inch LP4 to 6 Pin PCI Express Video Card Power Cable Adapter (LP4PCIEXADAP) It sells for only $2.11 on Amazon Can I use it to connect the 6-pin PCI-e power connector on one of the S1 blades to two 4-pin Molex connectors coming from the PSU? I remember reading somewhere that the Molex power connectors do not carry as much power (or wattage) as the PCI-e connectors? But I am thinking all yellow wires carry 12 volts, so this should work, unless the wires over-heat? Any thoughts? help? Thanks! I dont have photos of the peice to attach, but I used a component just like that (albeit $1.50 and from ebay) to run a blade of my antminer while the other blade used a normal pci cabel from the PSU. within 5minutes of turning on the supply, i smelt a burning plastic smell. by the time i crossed the room to look, a 2" fire burst out from the wires. I quickly blew it out and turned off the PSU (PSU is fine still). The wires were marked as 18AWG but upon removing the charred, molten mess of wire (the entire set of wires basically fused and/or burnt up, and melted into a nearby fan wire as well) it seems like the wire was much more likely a 20AWG or 22AWG. like yours, it drew on 2 molex connectors to an 8-pin PCI (I cut off the molex in order to run from the female PCI socket on the PSU and splice the 8 individual leads to some 14AWG wire that went the rest of the way to my antminer screw terminals) 18AWG is thin. Chinese 18AWG may be thinner and mis-labelled. AVOID USING THESE. |

^same conditions, but 0.475 BTC (shipped to Toronto,Ontario,Canada)

I will offer 1BTC to have it shipped, escrow is required

^if thats true, then holy shit. 55nm out the window, and the recently announced 28nm is probably barely off the ground.
but more importantly: why would they store bitcoins at mt. Gox? that is absoulely insane, and more then enough reason to avoid ACTM if they cant implement a simple offline storage

"hosting costs are based at $0.45/kwh"
that is quite high, especially if you set up the facility in an area with power costs under $0.10/kwh (not tough to find) or even under $0.07/kwh (still not hard to find)

my GPU rig cannot seem to handle a set difficulty of 512. on other pools at 128 or 256 it runs fine on all 4 cards, but at 512 GPU 2 is declared sick in less than 30 seconds
any ideas? its a sapphire R9 270x
That is odd. Hard to say without more information about your setup. If only GPU 2 is failing, it sounds like a thermal problem. Try jacking your fan up to 100 as a test. Of course it could be a myriad of other issues: not enough power, drivers, even monitor setup or could just be a bad card. Pure assumptions here. turns out a reboot did the trick for whatever reason. I had a similar issue before on another card where i was seeing only about 60-80% of the expected hashrate however, some of these low-difficulty coins are wrecking havoc on my reject rate - 7-12% for the last little while, mostly whenever it switches to coins with network difficulty <50 |

Can you show the chip working at 800 GH/s?
Sure, just lend me a tank of Novec.  Since the chip is already doing 750GH/s with liquid cooling, isn't 800GH/s obviously possible given better heat removal? wow. just wow. Give me a tank of novec and i bet i can take an antminer up to 220GH actually, maybe I will just send one up into space where the temperature is nearing absolute zero - You guys should consider that possibility and rate this as "up to 1000GH!"

now these units is in final clearance sale now, about ~0.52 BTC for one 105G module. this price is for China mainland only. for export will remain a 1.3B price.  huh? I would gladly buy a few full units shipped to canada (even without PSU) if the chinese price was shared globally. Why is it 250% as expensive outside of china? |
|
|
|
hah, yeah I meant ASIC.. that's what I get for rushing. Who knows, it could still be one of the older chips relabeled.. would have to check if the apparent pinout resembles any of those (edit: doesn't look like it does); though even then it could just be 'modeled after'. It's definitely a tight little package though the chip looks larger than an avalon or asicminer chip |

OSM Elite, 14 boards, 420+ GH/s, $4479 outside EU, €3920 which includes VAT inside EU, €3240 for business buyers with VAT number. Questions ? Ask away... or email info@btcguru.euWhat's the point when Ants are doing 200 GH/s for under $800 and are actually in-stock? +1 it looks great, but its a lot more expensive then other options, including bitfury dvices from MegaBigPower. bring the prices down to a competitive level and I will buy 2TH worth or more |

Thanks for the quick reply Jedimstr,
I trust you mean this file
antMiner_openwrt20140207.bin update openwrt and PIC firmware
I also just noticed the in the software log the only diff between the four good and the 5th was file cgminer
3.12.0-1 for the good miners and 3.8.5-1 for the 5th bad one.
Will the bin from above update the cgminer as well?
TIA
Jedimstr,
Thanks for the help, We have upgraded and are hashing!!!!!
You're welcome...yes it looked like four of your miners were on the latest firmware already with the newer CGMiner and the 5th one just needed the update to match. whats the new firmware achieve? Im updating my miners now and there is no immediate effects - temps and 5min hashrates look roughly the same |

It was molex and it melted the second I powered it on. I quick pulled the power. Lots of smoke.  . at higher speeds it can draw over 100W. Molex cables are usually designed for 60W. IMO its not a good idea running these off a cheap/thin cable because it WILL burn through. I had a chinese 6pin pci extension that was marked 18AWG on all the wires but burst into flames within 5 minutes of being used to carry 180W for an antminer. make sure your wires are thick |

^really nice review personally i had expected a gen-1 avalon or asicminer chip. This seems like a custom design ASIC. I say ASIC because an FPGA would not be capable of 300mhash <2.5w. (most FPGAs were 200-250mhash using 10-20W) |

whats new in the latest (feb 7th) firware update? no changes are posted to the github readme to say.

the answer is probably the obvious: 1x is not enough - I just want some opinions or insight from others
My rig is 4x R9 270X cards, and they mine doge at roughly 450,470,480,475 khash. I tried playing a video game for fun, and it loaded up fine in 1080p but when approaching too many objects glitches/triangles/shards began appearing on the screen, generally between moving/highly-shaded objects or characters.
Is this because I am trying to push too much over 1x, or is it another issue? I would like to be able to use my rig for playing games on the side.
Assuming its the 1x risers, would mounting my GPU0 to the 16X slot or using a 16-16 riser work? and will i gain/lose any benefits of the quad-card setup (no crosslinks are attached)

OK ... got another Ant today ... but this one isn't quite as happy as the others ...
It's overclocked at 375Mhz and hashes away quite happily, but two issues:
1) The fan is always on max speed.
2) Chain#1 says the temperature is 182!
Anybody got any ideas how to fix this? Maybe a temp sensor is malfunctioning and therefore running the fan at max speed?
This is what I'm seeing:
Chain# ASIC# Frequency Fan Temp
1 32 375 3660 182
2 32 375 0 30
I've tried running the fan from the other blade, but still get the same result.
any leaky thermal goop on the board? that could affect the temperature sense |

I am by no means a linux power-user; what you linked to has little meaning to me using a windows laptop while I get some form of ethernet connection on the MSI Z87-G45 motherboard I just setup today. (All the while dealing with something else which seemed a mobo issue but was actually just deceiving issues caused by not using BOTH pcie sockets on the GPU) I am downloading a window 8.1 OS-on-a-stick for my 16GB corsair slider 3.0 as an alternative |
|

|

can you explain this in a more basic way? I have the mobo booting into bamt but no ethernet link whatsoever.
is there a simple way to put that tar.bz2 on a usb and install it? Im really confused since this is my first rig and i regret my choice of a Z87-g45 mobo
