Hi,

I received two Avalons from Chine this week. Put them in my basement next to my KNC and started mining.
Only problem is, compared to the KNC they are very noisy. Can hear them up till the first floor bedroom.

I can tell, the wife is not happy.

To keep my machines running I was thinking of cooling them another way so the fans run slower reducing the noise level.

Has anybody any good ideas of is there a working solution?
I was checking out gpu water coolers, they might do the trick.

Thx in advance

Currently, 1,2 TH

started mining when the KNC jupiter november batch arrived.
Followed mining for a long time, started in april/may but never dared to start with gpu mining due to the upcoming of asic mining.
Skipped BFL due to their starting problems and found KNC trustworthy.

Currently
KNC Jupiter 650 GHS
KNC Mercury 150 GHS
Avalon 225 GHS

Mining at Bitminter.

Hi,

I once read of a more low tech approach. You can safe the coins and private/public key on a piece of paper.
I'm not sure were it was I have to look into this option.

But then you would be afraid you lost the paper I guess.

just googled, and found this:

en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#How_to_reflash has a link but it does not open.

I bought i Chinese avalon 200ghs miner. PSU separately delivered.

Does anybody have an copy, google dit not find one.

I need to know how to connect the PSU to the miner. Do I Connect all PCI and ATX connectors?

Hi everyone,

I'm running two KNC miners and expanded my mining capabilities by ordering 2 200GHS Avalons from a Chinese supplier.
Received them yesterday with Chinese PSU delivered separately. Hooked them up with only the ATX power supply and units performed well.

At the avalon PDU 1.55 are 2 EPS connectors, 6 PCI-E connectors, 4 EXT, 1 ATX  and a connector for the controller board.

what connectors do I need to set power to from the PSU. Connected them all except the EPS connectors and nothing happend. THe machine did not boot.
Is there a manual how to connect all the wires in the Avalon.

I ran the Avalon for a day and then it started to smell, one machine stopped, rebooted it and it ran for a couple of hours. I didn't trust the smell so after kids were to bed oopend one up. Result a molen ATX power connector.

Reading the blog learned me to connect all EPS and PCI connectors, but my machine won't boot. I can replace the atx connector and buy a new PSU, but it wont help if it burns my atx connector again, even worse I could be woken up in the middle of the night by a raging fire.

SO what to do, sell the parts, or just fix it and hope it work out better whit an European PSU.
