hi. is there any alternative controller aside form " stock be controller "
can i use A10 cubie or any other aside from be controller?? thank you
What do you mean by the A10? [I don't think you're quote worked] |

Dogie, my tube came without the sheets of thermal compound, do you know what I can use instead ?
They're only strictly required if the hashing boards are damaging and so would be shorted by the aluminium heatsinks. I used thermal paste (MX-4) and I think it's working well. But after some time some hashing some "." in the chips are appearing. They don't appear when the miner is restarted, they appear a while after. Do you know what can be causing this ? I'm using a Corsair 850W, maybe the PSU cant handle the Tube ? Which 850W? TX850W Try just two boards at a time, so that way you know you're not maxing out the PSU capacity wise or the cables. Use all 4 PCI-E cables. Then swap over. If you're still getting .s appearing after time, its heat related. If no .s, try 3 boards with 1 PCI-E cable each. If you get .s now, you need to get some 2x molex to PCI-E adapters to help reduce the cable loads. If no .s still, it means you were maxing out the PSU capacity wise and you'll need to get an additional PSU / larger PSU. |

Yes you could run 4 individual. Most efficient solution would be 2x CX750Ms, which would have headroom to overclock with. |

While I respect AM and your guides Dogie, I have to respectfully disagree -
The math:
800(speed of the tube) X 240/270(ratio of clocks) X 2(ratio of chips per miner) = 1422
and because you have underclocked you can now lower the voltage resulting in some power savings.
Come on man we've all done this with our GPUs; this is nothing different or special and nothing they couldn't have done right off the hop to give AM an edge.
parallell powering layout my ASS. Who came up with this BS?
The guy with inside information maybe? But your math checks out so it's k, lets go with that. I'm sure friedcat purposely made the tubes consume an additional 50% power for no reason. It is the chips on the tube not the tube itself consuming the power as you well know. There are more chips on the Prisma which are underclocked and undervolted as compared to the tube. To simply state the Tubes consume an additional 50% is an over-simplification. Also, friedcat didn't purposely make the tubes, it was an open-sourced design with core voltage of 0.8 AM was trying to sell as many chips as possible to maximize their profit - that's the simple and reasonable explanation. The new design means selling more chips which is great, but I don't believe have made any significant technical advances in design. *facepalm* |

from the post in the russian forum one can tell that these are quite late. like 2-3 months late already.
the consensus from now is to wain until 10th of Oct and act accordingly
If you bothered to read all the posts in that forum, you'll see that they WERE quite late. And those customers were also compensated with double their ordered hash rate and were happy. |

Looks like a longer tube. How did they get the efficiency up?
Downclock and downvolt each chip. Nope. Its a new parallel powering layout which is simply more efficient. If I get a Prisma you'll be able to see it in the pictures. That may be true but it's also underclocked. The tubes were 8.3gh/s per chip and Prisma is 7.3gh/s. Where did you hear about this "parallel powering layout"? Downclocking the chips by 10% doesn't result in 25% power savings. The design was first done by XBTec on their Pacifics ( https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/14825302026_f8e55aca1f_o.jpg) which results in significantly lower power requirements by stringing the chips together. [Note their V1 didn't actually realise the power savings in the design due to other bottlenecks, but the V2 did]. This is the same 'technology' that friedcat has put on the Prisma to generate the power savings compared to the Tube. |

How does that XBTech Pacific 1250 play with p2pool dogie? If it works with p2pool I might be interested - I'm in the UK. Totally not interested in that VAT nonsense though.....  Not sure. |

|

How about shipping to ASIA?
Sure, shipping is at cost anyway. |
|
|
|
Just a quick question are you VAT registered to be charging VAT in the UK
Yep |

Your post regarding an air cooler dissipating 350watt is nonsense. Dual 120mm radiators with decent fans of 1500-1800rpm would dissipate up to 300w. I am not sure where you're pulling your magical unicorn numbers from. Feel free to post a air cooler that can dissipate 350watts, make sure it doesn't have 5000rpm fans attached to it.
I just need to quote this to show you don't know what you're talking about and you're not worth arguing with. |

What is being auctioned? Why?Its recently been brought to my attention that the 'pool information' section within my setup guides may have been unfair as only a small number of pools were arbitrarily chosen and displayed. In order to fix this, I will be holding monthly public auction between the major pools in order to decide which pools are displayed and in what order.
Ad Format- There are 3 pool slots for sale.
- Final bidding order matters - the top bid will receive the first slot, the middle bid the second slot and the lowest bid the third slot.
- The ads are to last from the 6th October to the 7th November, during which impressions are projected to be 1.0 million per slot.
- This traffic is as targeted as can be - to those who have just bought miners and are looking to set them up and direct them towards a pool.
- Pool slots feature a direct registration link and quick startup information.
Auction Format- Auction will run for approximately 7 days, to end at midnight London time / 3PM PDT / 6PM EDT on Friday 3rd October.
- Post your bid in this thread stated in BTC. If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slot filled first.
- Bidding starts at BTC 1.0. All bids must be evenly divisible by BTC 0.2.
- Only pre-approved pools on the below list are accepted, if your pool is not on the list please contact me.
- You must pay for your slots within 48 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("dogie", user ID 87869). You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.
I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me. You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("dogie", user ID 87869). You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.
TaxesThere is only tax due to UK bidders, and there is no additional cost to anyone (apart from me). Just clarifying to making sure its a level playing field and collecting any legally required taxes. US and rest of world - bid as normal.VAT registered UK businesses - will be invoiced an additional 20% VAT on bid prices [which they can later reclaim at no cost] VAT registered EU businesses - bid as normal, please let me know your VAT number. Non VAT registered UK - bid as normal, I will pay 20% tax and take the hit. Non VAT registered EU - bid as normal

why so many power connectors?
Why not, its just a test board and there's plenty of board space. For the retail boards you just don't dont drop PCI-E connectors through and leave them as empty connections. I personally would have preferred the chips to be centralised and squashed together more so we could have used standardised PC heatsinks cooling all 4 chips. 350W can be done with one higher end air heatsink or basic 120mm watercooling. I think its time we moved away from these strange aluminium blocks with obscene fans to make up for the low surface areas. 350watt on a "high end" air cooler is going to result in bad temperatures. With a price of a high end air cooler it would be easier to buy one of those corsair aio water cooling units and have better performance for a price in the same ballpark. High end air with a sensible fan = will do that fine while being smaller, lighter and cheaper. Either way it doesn't matter because I don't think its what we're getting. I'm not sure what high end cooler you are referring to. For $80-100 a H series Corsair AIO will dissipate more heat regardless. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103189&cm_re=cooler_master_v8-_-35-103-189-_-ProductI am assuming this is what you consider a high end air cooler, if that is the case then yes the Corsair units would be better all around. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181031&cm_re=corsair_h80-_-35-181-031-_-ProductThat cooler master will be a huge awkward sized cooler where the corsair will be a small block with a radiator where you can position to your convenience... ... no, just no.... |
