those chilis are nice looking!

I've got so many computers hooked to so many mining devices.... I'll take some pics of the farm and post em later.

I just want to point out that those ALL-IN-ONE Liquid COOLING is not advisable... especially for an expensive chips like those...

Do a little research... and you will know why...

Are you talking about PC, or knc miners?

I was wondering the same thing. Probably KNC as the VR's need cooling too. Not that the air solution is doing much for them but I guess some is better then nothing.

Not a very good picture, but here's one of my Bitfury rigs that I'm tuning / troubleshooting. Waiting for a couple cases from Spotswood to arrive next week before putting them into permanent homes.

Have this one running more-or-less stable at 531 GHs ATM but troubleshooting and tuning continues through the weekend.

(Out of sight, two more fans blowing on the unit)

Big thanks to Buzzdave and Yvonne from MegaBigPower for being super folk to deal with.



Very cool. I've been trying to find some of those boards. How long have you had them?

if possible i would ask for any small donations to be made to him - he did more for avalon than avalon did themsleves - and now he seems to be going about the same thing for KNC & others.

a true community hero member!



Good idea.

His latest firmware fixed one of my stupid Avalon's after several emails to them went unanswered.
385  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: November 23, 2013, 05:16:41 PM
The newer firmwares flash the yellow LED whenever they find a share I believe. Its about once per second anyway.


Ah, thanks for that info.
386  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: November 23, 2013, 08:11:59 AM
for clarification - can whoever it was who has 4 modules running in b2 with 850w PsU link back to their post/s wrt max frequency and watts used at the wall, please?



Hmm...

That might have been me. (guess I'm not the only one that has had this problem)..

I have 4 2 module units but the controller was going nutty on one of them so I connected the modules from the nutty machine to one of the other controllers (effectively making a 4 module unit). But, I kept the nutty one's power supply connected to the modules so there would be no crazy load on the now 4 module units supply. So no noticeable change on the load from the wall I'm sure.

That said.... I flashed the nutty one with the latest firmware and its working again!

But for some reason while its mining the yellow LED flashes every 3 seconds or so. The others dont do that.

Hello all,

I have been mining with a BFL 30Gh/S system and just bought an Avalon 4 Module. Tried setting it up at the office and could not get it to work with the Wifi.

I accidentally deleted the LAN config and brought it home to try and connect to my home network.

I set my Mac up to the 192.168.0.101 ip and tried using my browser to connect.... nothing - it times out.

I tried ssh from laptop - still nothing.

Is there a hard reset to restore to factory settings?

Did I brick the WR703N? If so, is my only hope to take the unit apart, solder the wire to the connection and reset?


Help!






You might also try looking for the Avalon on your home router too. I had to set one of mine to DHCP and it would never keep the same IP. I knew it was going to be a PITA so I wrote down the mac address of the avalon ahead of time.

(after manually restarting cgminer every 3 hours, and schedule reboot every 20 hours).


Why do you have to restart cgminer so much ?.  Try disabling wifi , and just use a lan configuration.

I can tell you why, cuz these things are trash. I've got cgminer restarting every 2 hours otherwise mining slows to a crawl. 120ghs unit will slow to 4ghs and sit there.

I came back from a week long road trip to find one of the miners hot enough to cook on (seriously, I burnt my hand when I touched it). I took a look at the fan and its NOT MOVING! This stupid thing is maybe three weeks old, no excuse for this. I powered it down and back up and the fan came on at full blast (as expected) and the status led blinked green then red. It cooled down after a while and is now running at 47-48c as usual.

I've got to come up with a better cooling solution. Obviously the factory solution SUCKS.

I've wondered why those KNC miners didnt use some sort of liquid cooling apparatus. Especially with all the cheap all-in-one CPU coolers there are out right now.

Thats pretty slick.
391  Other / Archival / Re: Pictures of your mining rigs! on: November 22, 2013, 02:23:45 AM
those KNC miners look pretty nice!

I'm Soooooooooo jealous of the first poster and the other posters who started around the same time.

OMG he started out back in 2011, he must have thousands of freaking BitCoins by now!!

Sooo jelly!!!

 Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

I know a guy in Colorado that started early but he dumped when the coins were hitting close to $100.00. He's like the rest of us now. Well under 100 and in most cases under 10. Sad

I started in 8/2011 with two modest GPU's (6850's I think). One took a crap a year into it and sat on a BSOD for over a year but I didn't know it. I still did OK though. I found a local fellow miner and he's been showing me the ropes so I'm better equipped to deal with the new trends.

looks like I'm part of a long list of people this guy has scammed.

I got involved with him via another member here and not directly through the site. Had I known of his trade rating at the time I would not have sent him my 5+ BTC.

I to have asked him for a refund over and over again and not a single response from the guy.

LOL! I BIN'd 5 of those IBM supplies without looking closely at them!  Grin

Didn't realize they were 200-240VAC until after I started reading this thread (and here I am in the US). Dont really feel like running a 220VAC line over to the miners so I guess I wont be suing these things unless theres an internal switch to change them to 120VAC.

Oops.... 1800watts at that price is hard to beat though.

Thanks man! Glad to be a part of this group.
397  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: November 18, 2013, 11:56:46 AM
thanks ckolivas.
Will try it after i hear some feedback from early adopters. my units are running quite well now.. but on automatic restart of cgminer and entire unit in cron..

I'll probably try flashing the unit that wont connect at all and see if it helps. Cant make it any worse (or can it?).  Grin
398  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: November 18, 2013, 12:38:37 AM
I wanted to get out one last good new avalon firmware before these devices become irrelevant due to rising difficulty:

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/avalon/20131118/

I finally tracked down the regression that was preventing the avalon from being reliable with the newer versions of cgminer and have built new firmware based on the latest cgminer 3.8.2 git checkout 390ac7062663c688b656cf0dc893163cd7a852b3


Nice! Thanks for that! Gota get what we can while we can.

Hey, I have an Avalon Mini 60gh and I was wondering if it would be worthwhile and safe to remove the top panel off the unit in an attempt to make it run cooler. Would this work and would it be safe to do without my miner being damaged?

I've got two 60ghs units that I run with the tops off. I had to combine the two of them into one 120ghs unit because the controller on one of them took a major crap and wouldn't connect to mine no matter what I did. Temps really didnt change much if thats what your looking for.

So it hasn't been an hour since my last post (and last power cycle of my 4 module avalon) and here I am with the 120ghs avalon mining away at 5ghs. WTF is wrong with these things?

I'd be better off with 400 Block Eruptors.

are they cool enough? they shut off if overheated.. try setting 340 as frequency instead of 375..

Yeah, they don't reach 50c and if they do they do not sit there very long. FWIW, I ran the three that are giving me crap at the lowest clock setting (275?) and they still took a dump. These things are just simply garbage but what the hell are ya going to do??
