I burned a new SD and still can't get anything to work. Can boot into dashboard and still can't mine anything.
Can i connect to the apollo miner using BFGminer or something to see whats going on?
Sounds like either your pool setup is incorrect, or your router is not providing a WAN connection to your device. What is the font LED doing after it starts up? Thats weird if not having wan connections cuz i never set anything up first time around. here are some screen shots Also the light blinks yellow https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoELyG7lOD4Vlg1U3w6kbKeldxI2?e=jZguOXYea yellow blinking usually means it can't get an internet connection, but your pools seem alive so that might not be the issue. Shoot me a PM and well check it further. |

Also looking forward to the full node update. Will this have the ability to easily enable solo mining straight from the dashboard? Also would be nice to have optional tor integration for added privacy.
Started focusing on software again this month...hoping to have a full node setup testable by end of the month  And yes, once a full node is installed it should be pretty easy to setup solo-mining, not sure if it will be read for the full node release though. |

I have restarted my miner and now i'm getting really high HW errors. Doesn't seem normal as before I was getting the opposite from accept vs HW error. about 5-6% HW error. Everything is in auto mode and have rebooted. Same thing. How can i fix this? https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoELyG7lOD4VlgKj-PRkzS3sCco-?e=zsvEC516 min run time is not long enough to get a good sense of what's is going on...sometimes these spit out a lot of errors when they are started it so initial error might be higher. Id check it after an hour to get a good average. |

Might be a silly question, but shouldn’t the fan on top of the device be spinning? On my dashboard it’s reporting temperatures in the mid 60’s and the temperature of the board is in the 40’s but the fan on top isn’t spinning at all. Set at 40%, 60%, etc, it doesn’t spin. Should I be concerned?
That does not sound like it’s mining at all. What hash-speed does your dashboard show? If the fan was not spinning it would overheat and shutdown within minutes. |

Strap injection does not seem to work for 5700
Mmm you seem to be right, the injection part itself does work though, just make a few changes and click inject, then refresh from driver, (the dropdown box values are the ones loaded from the vbios inside the memory), if you click refresh button the tool will load the values from the driver directly. So if you injected something, it will load those. However, i use to be able to crash my GPU but not anymore, AMD changed something. Guess i will need to contact customer support  Yea time to do some hacking on the linux kernel to see what these things can do  |

I would expect the Non XT to run at around 48MHs (36 CU vs 40 CU), don't know much about power usage in that case.
Nah I’m running plain 5700...extra cores don’t do anything for eth, and it will matter even less when miners are running wave32 code. |

NAVI NOW WORKS NEW DRIVER AMD 19.9.1 i get 51mh/s on eth i dont know how to add a pic
Which card? 5700 or XT? What are your OC settings? How many watts is it using? 54 MH with max clocked Memory...running 105 watts at the wall with underclock/uv...this can easily be pushed to over 60MH with timing changes and under 100 watts. Pretty killer card for ETH...guess AMD needed more sales so opened up the driver to miners |
|
|

Currently running 54 MH, haven't started messing with timings yet Also claymore is still running this as old GCN code, he hasn't updated to Wave32 which should significantly reduce core load needed and reduce power to under 100 watts. |

#1 has been mining for weeks now and it's always blinking green like that. I think you got it the other way around. Miner #2 (red and green blinking) hasnt been producing nothing.
Green steady blinking + random fast red flashes is normal mining mode (the red flashes indicate work has been received by the miner and its producing valid shares). If its only steady green it means miner has started up and is waiting for work from server...this means there is either a pool issue, or a local network issue preventing the miner from receiving work. |

Didn't see anything in the 1st posts or with a search.
Does anyone have a source for replacement fans for these?
I have a few that have dead fans, I'm cooling them with a USB fan blowing on them for now but it's not ideal.
Thanks,
Dave
Any 25mm 5v 5K+ RPM fan will do. |

It's been running great for a few days now and then I restarted them again and this time it's just blinking green and i can't get to the web interface. What does blinking green mean? Is there somewhere that tells what the blinking patterns mean?
EDIT: Self Answered.
I found a post that had what the lights mean. Supposedly slow green blink means bfminer is connected but that's not the case. The issue for me was that my router wasn't handing it an ip address because i've had some issues with the DHCP server on it. Once I rebooted the router and then rebooted the Apollo all was fine.
Yes, just plain blinking green means miner has started and is waiting for work from server. This is always some sort of network connectivity issue. |

After AMD resolves the driver issue, how many Mhs at 5700/5700 XT are expected?
Claymore might be able to say, but otherwise we're just guessing. I'm going with 54Mh/s for a 5700XT. With overclocks and timing adjustments near 60 MH should be easily achievable. |

Still haven’t received mine yet and the tracking number given is still showing pending pre-shipment. Is there anyway to check status? shoot me a PM or reply to your order email. Everyone should have delivery by now. |

Hi,
I notice difference at fan settings from batch 1 to batch 2.
I have 2 Apollo batch 1, they have both the fan fixed at 10%, about 1800 RPM.
I also have 2 Apollo batch 2, both with fans at 20 % about 1500 RPM.
Is this correct? Maybe different fans each batch, maybe a software bug?
Yes Batch 1 fans were 6k RPM fans which were overkill, Batch 2 Fans are 5k RPM which allows them to be even quieter on ECO mode. |

Hi, Just saw the link, got very excited, and had to go look. First up, i love your product, and would love to buy one.... However, sorry to say, but i think especially in the UK, your pice now seems way out of touch. I mean fully loaded with psu and sd card, iys over £320 before shipping and taxes. When you compare that to how ridiculously cheap 2nd hand L3+ now are...well, i don't really know what to say https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-L3-504M-Scrypt-Litecoin-LTC-ASIC-Miner-504-MH-s-Bitmain-PSU/133149577170?hash=item1f00554fd2:g:aTIAAOSwbShdIxobhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-L3-504M-Scrypt-Litecoin-LTC-ASIC-Miner-504-MH-s-Bitmain-PSU/193067388462?hash=item2cf3b68e2e:g:98QAAOSwvdxdEUuHhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-L3-504MH-s/293198858666?hash=item44440389aa:g:SVQAAOSwcmtdIpnV (No PSU) Look, i sincerely wish you all the best, and will still happily refer newbies to your product (as i say, i am a supporter, and it IS a prpbably the best starter device on the market), but one is bad, but by the time you buy 2 or 3, i mean you could have 1-1.5ghs from elsewhere. In my mind its no more than a £200 device, fully loaded. Just my 2p worth.... J Thanks for your thoughts but not sure why people keep comparing it to L3s and telling me thats what they "should" be priced at. Its price exactly where it needs to be for me to make it, and pay my bills. This product cant even be compared to an L3 on any metric. Also im not bitmain that is losing 100s of millions of dollars a quarter. I actually operate in the real world where I have to pay my suppliers out of pocket (hence pre-orders), and cant sell something for a loss just because everyone else is. Your buying a brand new product (not something 3+ years old), thats nearly twice the efficiency, made in the USA, incomparable sound level, and not to mention software updates for this will make it into a full blown casa node, that alone costs 300 USD. Personally I think I am selling this way cheaper than I should be, but im not in the business of unfairly pricing products for pure greed. |

Why don`t try benchmark mode for DAG 1 or so..
test it with:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -benchmark 2
it will use just ~1GB of ram for DAG
The problem is on driver level and it isn't related to DAG size - as far as I know. I tried to run a benchmark but the result is nearly the same (instead of 3,5MH/s I got 3,6MH/s ) Yes the problem is AMD intentionally crippled the driver for the ETH algorithm, because they knew it would do nearly 60MH in eth mining and they would not be able to get them in gamers hands. |

Everything seems to be working ok now. It's almost like it need to "warm up". Odd
Thats a pool issue. What pool are you running on? Hashrate displayed is an average, so what's going on is that your pool is causing the miner to spit out a lot of errors when if first connects (most likely due to it being a mutipool and/or starting off the miner with way to low of a diff), then when is starts to mine fine the average slowly starts to go up. |

I have a batch 1 that was running fine. I had to go out of town for a few weeks so I turned it off. When I turned it back on today it's getting 50% hardware errors only hashing about 30 MH/s on eco mode i've also tried other modes with more or less the same results. The miner temp on auto is 62C and the MCU temp is 62C. I actually have 2 and my other one is working just find. What can I do to fix this?
Did you change anything on the pool? Sounds like a temporary pool error. Try rebooting it and see if it keeps doing the same thing (and check Litecoinpool.org to rule out pool issues if you running on a different pool). If that doesn't work try an SD card re-flash. |
