The blades can be taken apart with a Philips screwdriver. Make a rudimentary picture of the blade on a piece of paper. Place the screws on the picture where you took them from, so that everything goes back where it came from. Make a mental note of how fixed text screws were so you don't crush the chips when you place it back. Apply thermal grease on the chip. Not to much! Put grease on the entire heatsinc and place the silicone thermal pad on it. Now you can screw it back on. Do the same on the other side between the heatsinc and the pad. (on that side I believe you can pit grease right on the board but not shure about that). I gave pit small heatsincs on the voltage regulators as well.
Hope this helps.

You make the image by putting the card with image in your pc. Than you start up win32 disk imager, select the right drive (the card), put an output path in the bar and press read: Then you take out the card and put in an empty one. Make sure the path where you saved your image is still correct. Select the right drive again (when you have an option to choose) and press 'write':

thanks for the info. It probably says 12 chips because it is an adapted version form the A1, which has 12 chips. I you click on the 'stats' page you should see the temperature per chip. Could you post a photo from that? (I need the number of cores per chip and the amount of chips) And at what frequency are you running it? When you have indeed 10 chips per board you should be able to go to 40MH/s

what a nice design!!! the price will rise ... time to buy some BTM dev+1 It is slightly overbought right now, so first a correction downwards and then up again

Like the idea, I would buy one (if that is possible in the Netherlands). The QR code could be the bottom square of the "love-Mark"

my A2 is running at 94MH right now, whats the speed i can get to with you latest ISO ?
Hard to say, depends on if you have a first or second generation A2 terminator. If you have one of the newer versions you might get another 10 MH/s or so (they seem more optimized). If you have one of the older versions you I believe you are pretty much at your max, maybe gain just a few MH/s. What are you running it on now?

Glad to see you found the problem. I have a question. I made an image that allows for more over-clocking options. However, in the code, the number of A2 chips is hard-coded. How many chips, with how many cores on each chip, does the new A2Mini have. I might be able to convert this version to fit the new A2Mini (I can't test is myself though).
Thnx

Can the enormous rise in Hashrate be multipools? Individual miners that have extremely high hashrates. Or are these users who rent a lot of mining power, betting the price will go up even higher?
|

And how many chips does the new A2Mini have? I could program that into my image and you might have more options for OC-ing to select. (I would not be able to test it myself because I do not have the New A2Mini)

Ooo yes of course stupid of me thnx Hello. I remember you from the BTM launch I believe, back in July. yes true, I have been mining it ever since. (when my rig is not rented out). But my mere 30MH is not so much compared to the big players.

Ooo yes of course stupid of me thnx

Difficulty made a very weird jump. It went from 642.97400619 to 160.something (estimate was about 360) to exactly 642.97400619 again.

I did not notice anything different in the amount of course (sometimes I have all of them sometimes I 'miss' one or two). I did notice a slightly lower temperature, the cooler it runs the better the OCing.

emdje, i believe same as before: username: pi password: innosilicon btw, i loaded up your image and they indeed rock! both miners are hashing stably.. batch1 doesn't take higher values due to dead cores so i could go as far as 1220.. however batch2 can go up to 96mh easily... good job indeed! When I took my blades apart I noticed that one of the chips had not much, if any, cooling paste on it. The Silicone pad was scorched because of the heat. When the blades heat up the amount of work that is sent automatically reduces. I don't know if an permanently overheated core are recognized or are regarded as dead. Might be worth to have a look. take it apart, clean the thermal grease of, apply new good thermal grease between the chips and the silicone pad. Apply grease between the silicone pad and the heat-sync as well. Off course not to much, the less the better, but enough to make contact. It might work it might not.....
