High Clock Fails
I have four cubes, all purchased new. Three run fine on High clock speed (~38 GHS) without any problems. However, one the cubes fails with X's on all chips whenever I set the clock to "High". Powering it off, waiting a few minutes and powering it back on with low clock speed and it will work fine for days (~32 GHS).
Cooling and PSU seem to be fine, more details on each below:
PSU:
I have two Corsair TX850's for PSUs, one for each pair of cubes. I've tried switching the problematic cube to the other PSU, and the same cube will fail. This should rule out the possibility of a PSU problem.
Cooling:
Based on a visual inspection the fan is spinning the same speed as the others. The cubes are all together in the same room. The room is cool, they all have the same airflow and and three run fine, only this one cube is problematic.
Anyone else have similar problems? Should I give up and be happy with my 32GHS or does someone know a way to squeeze that extra 6GHS out of this grumpy one?
Just luck of the batch. High clock modes aren't guaranteed. dogie: Thank you for the response. Good to know I'm not missing something simple. |

Hello all,
I will be ordering a unit Friday when my BTC get deposited.
2 questions.
-What else will I need besides Power supply? What is the most efficient/best one to get? I've read this thread and a few keep getting suggested. Feel free to share a link.
-What else will I need to have ready when this arrives to get up and running? Is there a support thread that I may have missed. I know Ninja is busy so I don't want to bother them things I can read about. Thanks for the help.
Hi Helnick, I don't know if you are still looking, but I made this Google doc for set-up of the Antminer PSU kit. https://docs.google.com/document/d/155UOVTLYBcNRWTDKAkLLStFbpCMv0eK4f1gkNoyRiZ0/viewIf you buy a standalone miner, you would need to get a 500+ watt psu and jumper wire on your own. Hope that helps. Nice tutorial opsgurl. Thanks for sharing! |

Heh. I'm not going to Amtminers, this addiction has to stop with BFL stuff.
Speaking of which I managed to add a good 20gh of performance to my single/25 here. Now up to 48gh; I might add one more chip ust to bring it to a nice even 50gh. Yep, addict. :-)

Cool, that sounds fun. How do you go about doing that? |

"My name is activescott and I'm a haashahollic"  Reading this thread pushed me over the edge and I bid on that antminer S1 on ebay. So let me know when the next meeting is  |

Yet, this returns us to the question "buy or mine?" If profitable mining depends on the value of BTC increasing, then we should probably just buy BTC rather than mine. Right now it appears to me that mining BTC is can only be profitable if you can resell your miners in a couple months without them loosing too much value. Of course this ignores the possibility of mining alt coins and the fact that mining is just fun |

Yep, sorry if it sounds like I was looking for someone to blame - I'm not. Just wondering if there is something I can look for to avoid missing a price drop by a day or two. Totally agree Canary is an awesome seller and provides awesome service.

CanaryInTheMine:
I appreciate the service you provide. I've ordered a few times now, and know you provide outstanding service. However, I am a bit disappointed in the price dropping so rapidly over the last couple weeks.
I am sure you can understand the disappointment of having the price drop only a couple days after an order. It's happened to me twice now and I'm starting to feel like a fool. Could you please give us some guidance on how often prices drop or maybe what might trigger price drops in the future? For example, are they directly tied to difficulty or is it dictated by the batch or something else altogether?
Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. Good to know that others see antivirus on mac as valuable. And yes, that we must run linux too - I just keep nix on separate box and in VMs.
If anyone has any objective comparisons of antivirus apps on mac, I'd love to hear those too.

Just wonder what the community's latest thoughts on this are? Protecting from malware is absolutely relevant to bitcoin people. I'm always paranoid about a keylogger or something. Do we need a scanner on our macs?
