1  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTS] Antminer S7 Batch 1 - Hosted at toom.im on: August 22, 2017, 01:15:02 AM
As the heading says.. Antminer S7 Batch 1 and power supply to suit, hashing from new @ toom.im.

I can probably get Jonathan (jtoomim) to verify in due course, but PM me an offer if you're interested.

Thank you.

I think you will find that from a hardware point of view the IO Board is fine, the problem is that the version of firmware you are running does not support them.

Rich

Really? S7 Batch 1 firmware, haven't upgraded?

I'm the one who took this screenshot and is responsible for the hosting of _kai_'s machine.

Just so you know, the cgminer output paste was from a different boot of this machine. During that boot, it appeared that cgminer wasn't starting automatically, and the stats screen just showed 0s on the top line (hashrate, elapsed, etc.) and blanks everywhere else (pool info, ASIC status, fan speed). Because of this, I decided to SSH in and start it from the command line to get more debugging information. At the same time, I unplugged two hashboards, in the hope that the remaining hashboard (the bottom one according to both the screenshot and the physical position in the rig) would work. I then saw all of this HW error stuff in the log output. Later on, I switched hashboards and got it to run again with only the top hashboard. I then plugged in all three hashboards again, and got the attached screenshot.

The PSU is a server-grade DPS1200FB running on 240V, and supplies an open-circuit voltage of 12.30 V, and at full load usually gives around 12.15 V. I have not yet seen a DPS1200FB shut down from overload on an S7, and the problem does not go away if I power only one hashboard at a time, so I am inclined to think that the PSU wimping out is an unlikely explanation. Individual chips burning out from mild overvoltage or transient spikes is more plausible, but I think still unlikely.

Intake air temperature was below 20°C at the time of the fault. The rig crashed at 1:25am local time. None of our cooling system was experiencing a failure at the time that the rig crashed. Both fans on the rig appear to be functional.

Just following up with the result to this in case anyone else has the same or similar problem, one of my pet hates is people never updating 'please help me' posts with the resolutions to their problems, so I try not to do that myself  Wink

It turns out the problem is that the control board I have has five of nine data connector slots that are dead. (The data cables work fine.)

Who would have thought those controller boards were that crap...

Chain 2 and 3 are back with 30 o's each, but not hashing. (500 freq). Fun stuff! Grin

Has bitmaintech.com been non-accessible for anyone else?  If so, for how long?
Been working for me the few times I looked at it today.

Okay the freq is set to 612.
The error rates suck.

So bad psu
Or freq is set too high.
So try setting freq to 575 see what you get.

That board shows 54 chips.

My guess is you have an older batch 1-7 model

They do not clock higher then 637. And need a hot psu to do that.

So at 612 the psu may be lacking the testicles to provide the power you need.

Go with some lower clocks

575 even as low as 525 to see if the gear fires up

Thanks Philipma, it was running at that freq rate ok up until yesterday (since Nov last year or thereabouts?), but things change, will get him to fiddle some more when he has time.  Shocked

What's the current % of HW in the UI ?

The unit is trying to hash but you are getting Hardware Error.

You need to give us more information. It is still hashsing ? Not at all ? HW % ?


Sorry, it's hosted and it was 3am, had to wait for more info.

First off, cgminer wouldn't even start, (no hashing) was spitting out all that info in the shell, and not doing anything.

He tried the blades separately, and eventually got it hashing - on one blade. The other two are sitting there doing nothing now, but at least it's doing something..

Don't suppose anyone's got any words of wisdom on what's going on here... just started tonight... 
I did search and I found nothing similar... which is worrying considering this is bitmain equipment!  Tongue Roll Eyes

Have a buyer that issued a chargeback claim to their credit card for a purchase 60 days ago.
Ebay doesn't know about it.
Paypal knows about it but the buyer only filed a complaint with their credit card so paypal will only accept
whatever the credit card decides to do...

Was Paypal still a part of Ebay 60 days ago? If so, they should be on the hook for something...

As many said some China recepticals can look like 2 prongs but they are bent to side.  Look at top of following picture:



So it really is possible it looks straight for transport and goes to side once opened.  I wish the review cybtc did would have covered it.

Err. That's an Australian plug. But upside - down.

Unmodded S5 in batch1 and with initial software and only one fan was doing 72dB of "metallic"sound.

A bit of a weird hack mod, but if you get some of the chunky foam they come packaged in, cut a square out about 2cm wider than the fan, then cut the middle out the exact fan size (so basically it's like a picture frame) then mount it on the fan so it sits out about 1cm, it alters the pitch and stops a lot of the whine.

I think the term used is 'velocity stack', and whatever flow dynamics logic that goes along with it.

P.S. Anyone wanna throw me an S7 voucher?  Roll Eyes

Beware, yet another fake BITMAIN "person"

Not sure what batch mine came out of, but it has the heatsinks as well.
Purchased around 4 1/2 months ago I guess, whatever that makes it.

This might sound silly, but what I had in mind was 3 people purchasing 2 miners and split them into 3 unique miners with 2 hashing boards each. Ofcourse this would require a extra controller.

I'd actually be up for that..

It'd be much appreciated if someone could throw one of those s7 coupons my way, to use (not to sell).
Thank ye.

17  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER U3 Discussion and Support Thread on: July 16, 2015, 05:01:58 AM
I'm using 4.9.2 on my windows 7 x64 pc and it's running 2x U3 stable with these settings... in case it's a help to anyone.
Avg 115 gh/s.

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://blah.blah.blah -u my.name --au3-freq 240 --au3-volt 790

(One would run fine on 775, the other needed more juice to work reliably. 800 caused zombie.)

I have each U3 on a separate motherboard-usb-hub (they're stacked 4 high, I have them in the 2nd and 4th holes).

YMMV.


Edit: Must be a dodgy U3, even after all the fiddling, it sits at about 30Gh/s. Whereas its friend is 65+.

Geez. Just had a 50 Hour block... now shaping up for a 24+ hour block and still counting... Maybe I should bypass the electricity meter, like the grow house nextdoor.
19  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Having problems... Cause - Antminer S5 or ? on: May 21, 2015, 12:16:08 AM
Thanks guys, Will do tonight when I get home.. it'll have another 8 hours on the clock to get a better stats view by then too.


Sidebar; This is the power supply i'm using. (Coz someone will ask)

http://www.aerocool.com.tw/index.php/power-supply/templarius/47-power-supply/templarius10/426-imperator-750w-spec
80+ SILVER Certified for a High-Efficiency up to 88%.

So conservatively 80% of 750w = 600w
According to my wall watt measuring thing, i'm currently drawing 574w.

I originally had it set to one of the bitcoin.cz regional servers, but it kept reporting dead, so ended up just copying the main one.


Meanwhile I gave up on slushpool, and had a go at Antpool.

Also lowered frequency to 325, just to see if it'd make any difference.

Over 1 7 1/2 hour stint;

Discarded: 15,344
Stale: 4,572
Rejected: 0
Accepted: 0



As well as having a secondary set to Ghash;

Discarded: 35,995
Stale: 207
Rejected: 3
Accepted: 1,064

And it's now reporting 1 "x" on chain 2.

Seems like it's sh1tful performance no matter which pool I try.
