for 4 modules 600$ and for 4 mini their write 60$
202  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: October 31, 2013, 03:36:19 PM
First off, thank you ckolivas for all of your hard work, I will be sending another tip soon!

I just upgraded my mini's to your latest firmware and had a question about the --avalon-auto mode. On my Batch #2 Avalons this setting slowly tweaks the clockrate from my default 350 to find the sweet spot between hardware errors and hashrate and ends up at around 356-357. On my Mini's the clockrate stays at the default 375 so I was wondering if there was an upper limit in the --avalon-auto setting that prevents it from tweaking it since I've been able to run the mini at 400 but with a 3% error rate. Just curious!

Keep up the good work!

I don't believe the --avalon-auto feature works with the mini, but like my mini which came with a 850W Gold Evermax PSU your's may have the same PSU (you'll have to check), my runs comfortably at 400Mhz doing 63 ~ 65GH/s.


how do you get your mini to run at 400Mhz? i only have 375Mhz(absurd) as the highest option in my configuration tab.

you need to update firmware and set manually at 400

Here is my mini settings. It's been running for over 8 hours at 400Mhz, the HW% is 0.8x



Whats the temperature in the room this rig is in? I'm surprised at how low your temps are.

I live in Canada so right now where I live is 3 degrees celeious, I have my mini close to my window which is open facing it. I let my mini, my two avalon 4 modules and Dell 2950 server heat my condo in the winter time with the windows open! Smiley

winter with low temerature is the best for better preformance.

under 18° for sure

see screen temp 1 - 18°

for me 27° and hw 0.5% - 1%

Avalon mini improved system heat dissipation (add aluminum platen and high speed fan) and DC-DC module (2 * HI-MOSFET). the chips operate stable under 375 MHz and still have some upside potential.

the miner count is a small bug here. if reduce the miner count to 16, the overall speed will reduce to about half(30-40GHs), this is a FPGA controller bug. so just maintain the miner count to 24 is ok.

we did a 36 hours burn-in test before shipment, which guarantee the minis is OK when we ship them. but during transportation, the vibrations will also cause some hardware problem when you received them. if you have some issues, please check all cables are fastened.

ngzhang,

One of mine arrived and right out of the box it does 49GH instead of 60GH. Anything I can do to fix that? I have emailed tech support and they said upgrade firmware but that didn't help.

I have another that will not work for long at room temperature (Max 10 minutes). I have to keep it in an area that is about 12C or it will fail to a solid yellow light instead of the blinking yellow light. Fan seems to be working correctly.

Any suggestions to fix these issues would be greatly appreciated. These were problems right out of the box.



maybe update with firmware 20130821.

i set all my mini avalon at 16 and their run very well stable at

61.89 GH/s
59.25 GH/s
59.37 GH/s
60.40 GH/s

one have a ethernet connector defective and cable not stay inside alone. problem is not the ehernet cable but the connector in the avalon. tested with alot of ehernet cable and always same problem !!!

with mini avalon if you want better performance update with firmware 20130821.  for me less HW

i only use this firmware on all my 8 avalons. better result with this 20130821.

Just got an Avalon Mini.

2 cards running at 375Mhz.

Its supposed to do 60GH but I am only getting 49 to 50GH.

The other ones I have do 60.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

some chips wont work and stay at 0

same problem for 2 mini avalon and i have 2 other box not open

I see the same in mine 17 to 24 are 0 which leads me to believe they don't work. Someone told me that these mini's only have 16 chips in them, which would make sense. 2 modules = 16, 3 modules = 24, and 4 modules = 32. So I am still not sure if I should reduce the 24 miner count to 16.

My mini gets 59008.84 MH/s which isn't the full 60GH/s but I am not complaining! Smiley



exact 2 modules is 16

do you have problem with your connector rj45 on your avalon mini

mine connector not clic and ethernet cable not stay inside

^ What they said, plus I would highly recommend checking/upgrading your TIM before OCing or OVing your miner.
I was able to hit ~365MHz before OVing but that was also warmer ambient temps.

Using a 1200w PSU I am successfully running at 350mhs
 
What is the max that someone has seen running at 1200w? 375mhs? Had the PSU already so it just made sense.

This is a 4 module system purchased recently.





Your only getting 350MH/s or are running at 350Mhz?

I get 107GH/s at 335Mhz using 860w PSUs. I just don't see any reason to install a 1200w to go higher unless your not paying for power! Smiley


Sorry you are correct, using 350mhz. I am gettting ~110ghs...I am using the 1200w because I already had it and ya I don't pay for power it is a set fee in my rent.

I'd love to see this thing hit 115-120gh/s


Also, just to note, I've noticed overclocking to 375mhz actually seems to reduce my overall hash rate. I've read this is a possibility but I was wondering why.

I really love this piece of hardware, its very interesting, educational and fun to mess with. Also, I should get a good amount of my money back overtime since I paid with USD for it.

Someone here told me it really wasn't worth the effort or cost to OC the Avalon 4 module past 107GH/s as you get so little reward for doing it. So I have never brothered. But if you really want 120GH/s buy two Avalon Mini's! Smiley



Ok. I really don't love it when I ask a question some tells me it's not worth it since it would be impossible for you to know what is worth what in my world. I don't pay for electricity, I have a 1200w psu already just sitting around. So you are telling me that getting an extra 10gh/s isn't worth opening my avalon and plugging in a psu, and then adjusting a single setting on the machine?

I am asking for help, details not opinion. Not trying to be a prick but really it's a common issue on these forums.

Here's the question . Why is it that I get less hashrate when set to 375? 350 seems the level off number.
The machine is already running at 350 overclocked with the psu already installed (1200w corsair ax series)

wait at 350 mhz and check your HW. at 350mhz there are many error hw

375 mhz is not really possible without modification, water cooling and air conditioning

what model do you receive ? B2 or B3

i buy some and receive 1 B3 and 2 B2

2BTC for all 3 units
