I saw the AC adapter should have a 5A output, but it looks like the ones I bought for my new miners have a 6A output.
Will these be dangerous to use with my new equipment, or is the electricity delivered on demand based on what the unit draws? Just want to make sure before I hook it up....
Thanks in advance for helping out a newbie.
Tldr, no. Current is like a capacity, so you're putting 5oz in a 6oz jug. |

Flashed a new SD card and that seems to have done the trick. Now the only issue is all the fan speeds report as 0 even though they are running fine, and sometimes the temperature of the cards report as 0 as well. But at least everything is working properly now.
Yeah don't worry about that, its not symptomatic of anything worse. |

I would really, really, really advise against putting 420W through a single 12V cable strand. Those cables simply aren't designed for that current.

If i go less 12V/2A ? It won't hash at it max rate right ?
You need 12V, min 3A. |
|
|
|
Can somebody tell me if I can use a power adapter 20v/6A with my R-Box
or a 19V/3.42A without damaging it ?
THX !!!
No. No. No. |

this is so fucked, useless thread and this guy is rude
I'm doing my best, everyone has differing opinions.  |

btw, is there a way to run the miner without the control board? or can we change the controlboard? something's wrong with my controlboard, it just wont start hashing https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344970.msg7271224#msg7271224i have to wait bitmain to reply to my case, and have to wait him send me a good controlboard IF...they send me one... I'm going to say no from a cable stand point. The mining boards use a very specific cable which no other controller will use. if you look at the logs the boards are a USB interface. I reckon if you could get a pinout of that cable then any USB interface should do and with cgminer and I think bfgminer supporting s1's they should be able to control those blades directly from any device that can run opwnwrt, Linux or windows. You could, but at their current market value its just not worth. |

I definitely think open sourcing the hardware is a good thing. Why waste money developing standard PCBs in parallel when that can be concentrated on developing more efficient chips?

That company no longer exists, that team no longer exists. For the last 7-8 months they've done nothing but sell in hand hardware, zero preorders, zero problems with warranties, RMAs, delays etc.
I've lost you on that one. What do you mean that company no longer exists? If that's so, why don't you remove them from your list? Don't they sell products under the same name? They do, and that name should get what it deserved, not the B+ rating. The company people want to chase with torches and pitchforks was run by Yifu. He hasn't been there for a year, nor the money. There are just engineers there, the people who built the first ASIC. Avalon today as well doesn't exist, they sell via a different company and not to the western markets. |

The 200GH power point is being replaced over the next month or so by gen3 AMs. Power consumption isn't revolutionary better on current implementations, but $/GH is unrivalled.

Totally stumped with my R-Box's
It shows up in Windows Devices after I run the zadig app in the cgminer folder, but cgminer can't find the device.
Tried multiple cables, power bricks, reboots, driver installs and R-box units (I bought five...just trying to get ONE to function)
my cg.cmd looks like this:
cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --anu-freq 270 -o stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u (my payment address) -p123
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you using the specific version of cgminer as in the OP? |

They still sell...I think the best move is rate them how they deserve to be. The goal is help people with hardware decisions? They should see a bad rating and know those guys are horrible to do business with regardless if they can't scam on these boards anymore.
Please do not take my criticism the wrong way...I love that you have created this to help people. I also think that it is great for hardware vendors to send you stuff for reviews, but I just feel that B+ is just out of line is all  This... imo credibility in general takes a hit with something like this..
For the record, reviews has absolutely no standing on this trustworthiness guide, at all. In fact if you trace back the dates of the Avalon review, I subsequently denied their promotion and then froze their standing for being inactive in the western markets. They do not sell here, and so are not active. There will always be a split of opinion on Avalon, and its not something I can solve. Bad things happened, everyone lost out. That company no longer exists, that team no longer exists. For the last 7-8 months they've done nothing but sell in hand hardware, zero preorders, zero problems with warranties, RMAs, delays etc. I can't penalise a company that 1) is not active in the market the guide is regarding 2) no longer exists 3) has done nothing but good things for a time period far greater than the guide is designed to reflect. And again for the record, I lost more than 40x from the Avalon problems then I gained from any review. Fuck it, I wouldn't be poor if B2 had arrived on time, but it didn't. I am not biased in any way. |

So tldr, all companies to Z next cycle.
Anyway. I'll put up Avalon again next cycle. That might mean they get removed entirely or moved to a footnote for not being active.

I have looked at these and the amp rating is 16AMP.
How many of the SP10s have you been able to safely run on one of these?
At 16A don't use more than 2. |

Quick questions for those with S2's. If the power glitches or goes out neither of my2 miners will come back up when the power is restored. I have to unplug the miners and let them sit for a few mins before they will come back on. Is this a known problem with the psu? Thanks for any answers.
It will be internal to the PSU, I've had it on lots of devices. |

Dogie,
Have you done anything with the Avalon 3 modules yet?
No, although controller wise they should be identical. |

The link you gave the required 2.5mm 12V mains power adapter is actually a duplicate link the USB cable, FYI...
Fixed |

Question: Is the setup the same for one or two Rockminers? I can get 1 unit to work fine, however I cannot get 2 units to works together. I've tried Powered Hubs and Direct on PC (Win 8.1 and XP). Both have 12V 5A power, new usb cables. I have to think it is in my config. I'm using 'rbox_cgminer.rar' V4.3.3 downloaded from www.eyeboot.com. { cgminer.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --anu-freq 290 -o stratum+tcp://us1.ghash.io:3333 -u name.work1 -p 12345 } Any suggestions would be appreciated. I prefer bfgminer, however I cannot even get that to see my units. -=Lon=- If you are using cgminer, make sure both devices have the winusb driver installed.(You can double check in Zadig) If using bfgminer, make sure you completely uninstall winusb drivers for those devices in device manager. Then install the silicon labs driversI installed it on one of my units and it saw it on all 3 - surely its a system specific driver rather than a unit specific driver? |

No its NOT restricting airflow, its preventing airflow circumventing the heatsinks which don't meet in the centre.
