1  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Avalon 1246 acting strange HELP on: May 05, 2022, 10:52:29 PM
Thank you so much for your answer. I will try lowering the power limit with your command, just did in fact. Fingers crossed that this may help solve the rebooting issue. What's the use of having a slightly higher hash rate if it goes down for 15 minutes straight several times a day, right?

I confused the word "bracket" [ ] with " " ... I think? Not English native, so still learning a few words everyday... Smiley

About the chips temperature, I would like to learn to take out the hash boards and clean and repaste (see video below for the 1066-50, I bet it must be pretty similar to the 1246)... Of course I would start with a less expensive machine to get practice, but the only video I could find that shows clearly how to do it is in Russian... and I could not tell what the product he used to submerge the board was since I can't read the label on the bottle he shows...

Any idea?

Edit: After multiple tries, I was able to run the command, hard to tell what caused it to always timeout before... Still strange that the firmware would not handle temperature too well. And even stranger that the only way to get an updated firmware that would possibly fix the fan behavior (?) for this model seems to be by contacting them and getting them to send it by email (but my machine is second hand... so what are the odds of that working out I wonder...)

Update: since forcing fans to run at 75 the speed is now 82-83TH I hope it stays like that and stops rebooting every 12h or so...


Hello,

My current issue is that the fans of my Avalon 1246-81T are running at 60% with some chips nearing 80C... while my other two 1066-50 have their fans running at 70-80% and their hottest chips barely going over 70C ... I would like my 1246 fans forced to run faster, and I tried to use the info from this thread, unsuccessfully :/

I have tried to issue commands using the FMS software (there seems to be three versions on their website, none of which worked for me). I enter the following "[{"command":"ascset","parameter":"0,fan-spd,75"}] " (without the brackets) in the text box, I click Run and then it seems to get stuck saying "Running commands ..." I wish I knew what I am doing wrong.

My machine has also been acting strange. The most runtime I have seen without a random reboot is approximately 12 hours straight. Inevitably, there comes a time where the ping becomes crazy high sometimes in the 5 digits. I should say that there are 4 other miners running on the same ethermet network switch, and this 1246 is the only one with this issue. Development: I realized that I had setup my Asus router with a custom DNS (pihole, running from a raspberry pi to block adds network wide) and that device has died and I forgot about its existence... so I changed my router's DNS to 1.1.1.1 as suggested on another thread. And while the number of rejected shared has gone done significantly, it's doing it again today. I am trying to do another Aging. I also wonder if it can break the machine to use that command too often. I also wonder if it makes sense to run the process while the room temperature is rather warm instead of colder (since it would "tune" each chip to the highest possible frequency that does not make it overheat.

My highest chip is 81C hot, and the other two boards are around 75.

I hope I am posting my question at the right place, new to (actively) using a forum like this one.

Any help is very much appreciated, I am scared the machine will die or need repair. Hope I can do something  to keep it alive for as long as possible
