My triggers disappear most of the time with version 5.2. I'll click save, exit the program and load it up again and they will be gone. So the alerts aren't working which is what I really want to use the software for. Also, I tried three different SSL SMTP servers, does no work. Forced to use non-SSL SMTP. Also need another space where you can put multiple email addresses in case you want to send more then one person.


Thanks.


EDIT: Also, if I wanted to view my miners on another computer do I need to get another key? Because I can't seem to get to that page without requesting another key.

I would not use those fans. The stock fan is louder, but it works. I have tested the S5 with the Noctua IPPS 3000 fan as in a push / pull config and can keep the temps in check. Everything goes back to stock loud fan until warranty period is all over. You need at least one fan that can push 250 CFM and can hit 3500-4000 rpm's or two fans each pushing over 110 CFM. Anything lower than that you will have a hard time keeping the unit at normal temps.

We need triggers/reboots and something a little smarter. Can you do that?

My Dad has 5 S5's but has a weird problem. He has an X and a missing 0. How does that happen? Tried a different power supply, tried just about everything.  What is causing this? Is a chip faulty on one of his boards? BitmaimWarranty, what should he do? Here is a screen shot of it. You'll notice one x in the line and zero dropped off at the end. Very confusing.
What do you think here???




I asked and did was Yoshi asked me to. Tried using the other data cable on the other port. Switched cables around completely. Flashed from the SD image the stock firmware. Tried another power supply. Let the miner sit for a good 30 minutes to cool down. Tried a different pool. Same thing. Seems that the right side board has some faulty chips on it. I told my Dad that there was nothing I could do and I'll ask Bitmain if they are able to help or not.  He just doesn't want the miner to start getting worse and then end up out of warranty with half the chips not working. He is capable of removing the faulty board, would BitmainWarranty replace the board for him via exchange in the mail from Colorado? I know there is a certain % + / - within spec, but the miner is only one day old. Should see bad chips or board issues now. Anyone else see a dropped zero or an x in their ASIC status like the picture above? Should I contact BitmainWarranty for him?

Thanks.

Hey, that chat should be 24/7 after a roll out!!!

My RM850 took a dive on me. There is a known bug on several batches of them that will randomly pop a capacitor and the fan will never work again which will overheat the PSU. I sent it back to Corsair for replacement and they didn't have any stock to send me one back. So a week later I called them to "complain" a little bit and said if you can't give me a replacement PSU can you please refund me on what it cost or send me another upgraded model. I lucked out and they are now sending me the HX850i model. One of their high-end models.

This applies to ALL RM series power supplies. Too bad Corsair is still shipping these knowing there is a problem. I'm thinking of stepping away from Corsair products just because of that.


It's been confirmed since last year that any RM series that's shipped out with a lot number below 1341 suffers from a defect of the fan not spinning resulting in the OTP tripping.
This has been confirmed by corsair rep themselves.
If you DO have one of these models, judging from the thread they're still shipping out the older ones, either return it to Amazon and roll the dice again or contact corsair and they will send you a newer model with a prepaid shipping label!
Please note this issue is generally caused by ppl with rigs that use less than 50% of the psu power.

Awesome, received tracking info for Wednesday delivery.

It doesn't seem to like sending email that is encrypted. I spent a couple of hours trying all variations of what the problem was and soon as you turn back to SSL, it doesn't work.

I'm using it to email me when my miners temps hit a certain temperature, then I can access a website to turn that miner off.

What is anyone changing with the threads? I put mine at 10-12. Anyone max their out?

Wow, that's a crazy markup. Where do you live?

I only have 2 miner's on it now. Don't know what the capacity would be, but it can handle up to 15 amps which is what my electric circuit is in my home. I don't have my miner's all in one place, so I may even try to pick another one up. I just like the fact it has auto-ping and scheduling built right in. It may help users with other devices that need a good solid reboot once in a while too. I schedule my cable modem to reboot once a week, for some reason it peps right up after a reboot. One snafu I have with it is you may need to buy those 6 inch 3 prong power extensions because lots of routers and devices use power blocks that take up 2 spaces. They are very cheap on eBay. Even the 12-14 gauge ones. I'd like to find out more about the built in scripting too. I've never used it with my KNC miner but when I got my Ants, I said I may as well get more use out of it.

Plug your miner's into one of these. Can be accessed from anywhere in the world while on the Internet and can power cycle the power outlet itself. It is basically powering off your power supply, putting in a wait time and powering it back on. I have one of these connected right now and it works very nice to power my power supplies off/on from a web page.

http://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc7.html

Here is what sample page looks like of one of mine. There is also scripting you can do and really customize it for specific needs. So, I'll have M's monitor alert me via email if temps reach 75c, then I'll access the power switch and cycle that miner. If it happens again then I can just leave the power outlet off until I get home. I kind of just set this up today so I haven't fully tested the whole sequence that has to happen or haven't gotten fully into the power switch's advanced settings. The powerswitch of course needs to be plugged into your network on the same subnet as your miner's are.

I've operated several OTN's and Headend's in large communication companies and fully aware of what you are saying. Being aware of specifications and hardware limitations is a must, and that is why questions are asked and scenario's brought up when things don't happen that are supposed to. Hence my situation with the runaway temperature on Friday I had that confused me.

I believe in keeping a mining rig stock if it works just fine and stays cool, which it does. That's why I have fans sitting in my kitchen not opened or being used, since I thought cooling would have been a problem. But since I do not overclock and not interested in that there was never a need for fan replacements. I impulsively bought them prematurely. Amazon has a great return policy.

We are expected to leave home and go to work and not come home to a fried miner, right? We all check daily on our miners and expect them to perform and run somewhat without human intervention and do understand a reset and a cleaning is due from time to time but if we are running a stock rig and see screen shots of temps over 90c (a couple just here in this thread) are we to assume there could possibly be a problem with the 80c shutdown/freeze/stop option? I can't speak for everyone, but I'm very aware of my miner's temps, hashrate, sound, and how it will react to what I do to it. What you are telling us is nothing new. It's not like you give a year warranty. Sounds like you are justifying if anything happens to one of our miners it automatically is something we changed or modified to it. Innocent until proven guilty, at least it should be. I love Antminer products, but coming from the Spondoolie world which required zero human intervention for months at a time is a whole different world and is something I had to get use to, which I did.

I have a request for a firmware change, or if someone can implement it I think we would be able to "donate" to their efforts since maybe others would be interested in this as well. Since we can't have the software turn the miner off, can we have the firmware kill cgminer and reboot the miner if temps reach 80c? Or something more robust then what it is supposed to do now, which I (we) don't know since we've seen screen shots of 80c+ screen shots. Maybe someone can come up with something better than this request. If the miner is able to reboot successfully at least we'll see that in our pool graphs and knew it happened. It is not a secret that Antminer doesn't release or update a lot of their firmware, which kind of forces us to take that into our own hands if we want the benefits of the new cgminer and features. I only have Spondoolie to compare to recently and I believe my SP10's had over 10-12 firmware updates. The C1 firmware still runs cgminer 4.6 or 4.7 something, right? There have been several fixes and features that we all could use in a new fresh firmware on an older product. I hope Antminer keeps up on updating the firmware and doesn't keep us in the dark when new software rolls out.

I'm ready to start using my linux VPS to learn programming and how to compile software, mostly some firmware. I always hate to be at the mercy of someone else, but programming was never my niche.

While M's monitor may be able to 'software' reboot the rig it cannot reboot it with a trigger. This is from the horse's mouth.

I asked M's monitor author this question yesterday.

Is this software able to reboot an S5 when it reaches a certain temp?


Not in its current form.

Just go back and read all about this issue. I had the same exact problem. Bubbles, gas, had to leave the fill cap open. White film material inside of the loop from somewhere....who knows. Only once I replaced the pump and used a different coolant then that crap Ironside I had clean loops %100 of the time. I used Feser One coolany with silver kill coils in my out and in my incoming lines. I had multiple pictures also back in this thread. "TheDreamer" now has my C1's and I suspect the loops are still clean and free of debris? I spend an extra $150+ on extra coolant and better pumps because of that problem. It was a big learning curve for me, but if I ever find myself with another water cooled miner, I'll know what to do. If you take your pump apart you'll see that white film covering everything in your pump. You can try to take the pump apart and clean it really good, but once you get to that stage you are better off flushing everything out and replacing the pump and coolant.

Are you able to boot from the SD card like you can on the C1?

M's monitor program only alerts you, it doesn't actually reboot the miner. Can also SSH into it and type in "reboot" if you can't access the WebGui.

Also, anyone try the modified firmware by smit? It has cgminer 4.9.0 on it and also has voltage control now. He said the firmware is solid and two of my friends updated all their S5's with no problems and they've been running great.

I'm still nervous about the temperature issue I ran into a couple days ago. We have a few examples and screen shots of the temps being over 80c and still operating. Can BITMAIN please look further into this? Who ever codes your firmware, please I beg you. I appreciate it very much. We all do.

Oh, here is a screen capture of my friend's graph stats built into that new firmware. Very cool. Will using that firmware void warranty?

Thank you for the confirmation.

That's the syscooling SC-300T pump you bought. It has 100 l/ph less pumping power then the stock model.  That one alone may not push enough through in time if cooling two rigs.

I wonder if the first batch of #5 will start shipping this coming week? Bitmain has made it clear when he posts he mentions that he usually ships prior to their "shipping date". I wonder if that was a ruse for a good sales pitch or has some truth in it? I guess we will see. It would be nice to get a surprise at the door this week.

I got one rig to show up through my VPS to my home system. But now I can't forward port 4028 twice. I'm about to run a port scanner on my S5 to see if anymore ports are open on it that maybe I can use.

I'm having trouble accessing my rigs remotely. I got Crypto working on my VPS real easy. Using the latest PHP and extenstions. Loads and logs me in just fine. I assume I would need to forward port 4028 to the static IP of my miner, but both my miners are using port 4028. My router supports port triggering and port forwarding, so I've tried both ways and when I enter my "home" IP address in with port :4028 nothing comes up. I'm already accessing my media server remotely, Plex, a few IP camera's, all using port forwarding so it is nothing new to me, but can't get Crypto to connect to my rigs at home via my VPS. Any tips?

Thanks!
