1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Fury/Blizzard tuning and mods on: July 17, 2014, 07:10:27 PM
Well I just got my other 2 Furys in the mail today.  I never properly setup a config file for the first miner though (I relied on this guy's easy program to help setup the .bat files to run my 1st Fury https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lwv8p2qj3pepzf0/AABBNg3AfT82KHag3AmF13fYa from a youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIdLzd-KfOs&feature=youtu.be I found of him unboxing and setting up his miner).  So that program worked for my 1st Fury (although I would sometimes see cgminer crash in the first 20 mins or so but it usually didn't crash if it got going past 20-30 mins).  After adding two other com ports for the two other miners to the bat file though it runs and then crashes every time after about 5 or so accepts.  I can't get it past the first few accepts without it crashing unlike with my first miner which would randomly crash in the first few mins.  Perhaps I'm not using the best setup but I'm a total newbie when it comes to all this.  One good thing about his program is that it included a link to the drivers that I needed for my computer to recognize the Fury.  I was looking at the basic cgminer command in the op post but not sure where to put my com ports or what to do exactly.  I also would like to just use my Fury to mine and not my gpu (which I used to mine with back in the day; guys program I used just used my Fury to mine and not gpu which was nice).  So if I could get some help setting up the right commands to get cgminer to run my 3 Furys without crashing that would be great.  I know this might not be the best thread to post this question in but you guys seem really helpful and I would appreciate any help I get (I would even donate a days worth of dogecoins or so to the person that gets me up and running).  Thanks for the help and hopefully when I get off work I can try and get these miners running properly.

Thanks for the input jekv2.  I was actually looking at that barrel tip power cable earlier this week.  Has all good reviews on it except one which semi scared me.



"One of the connections causes my gridseed to spark...
Gawminers did offer to replace it...
I would still buy from them
what can I say Sh#t happens..."

Defective products happen and it seems to be only one person (who cared to review which usually the people with bad experiences review products more than ones with good experiences) so far who had issues with the cable.  Also, the cable would be perfect for me since I'm about to go to 3 Furies.

Newb here mainly just wondering what type of power supply I should get for my Fury.  Right now I only have 1 but I ordered 2 more recently due to not being able to resist the price drop at gawminers.  The stock power supply gets a little too hot (I don't plan on modding mine but still want to use a better power supply that doesn't run so hot even with a stock Fury.  I keep the power supply near the miner to use the air from the fan to cool it a little (tip I picked up from someone in this thread who showed a pic of his three miners; keeps one side nice and cool but other side is warm but not as hot as the first few times I ran the miner with power supply just sitting on ground).  Anyways, if anyone could share some links to decently priced power supply that would be great.  I'm actually more concerned about the power supply running too hot than the miner...  which is a little awkward.  Should I even be concerned with the heat of the power supply on a stock Fury?  I suppose I could just buy a cheap little fan and blow more air on the power supplies and miners.

Also, thanks to the person that mentioned hashfaster.  I was looking to join a better pool and now that I joined hashfaster I am seeing way better results in coins mined (currently mining dogecoins; not sure if I will ever try for litecoin but perhaps once I get more miners).
