So I can kind of tell where the wires go from that image, I don't think I'd feel comfortable going by that alone, though ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I agree, I would love it if SMILY could describe in more detail how the wire should be connected.

Hey slightly off topic.
Had a batch#3 running at 350 fine for a few days (110ghs). - Then the power went out. and since then It will run fine for maybe an hour before going down to 10-15ghs.
I've tried it at default settings (300) and it does the same thing. - Temps seem ok (under 75c) - Is there a reason for this? :S

disconnect the ATX Motherboard Power connector after you turn your PSU switch OFF. Reconnect your ATX PSU connector to the controller board. Switch the power on. Also make sure you have all 5 power cables hooked up. 2 x pciE 8 pin 2 x CPU 8 pin 1 x atx mainboard power connector. Make sure your avalon options is set to:--avalon-auto Only other thing I can think of is you may have to reset cgminer and apply settings.

Before you reboot the machine, first have a look at the tab Status -> Cgminer API log and look at the numbers behind [match_work_count1] => 239017 [match_work_count2] => 239336 [match_work_count3] => 240190 [match_work_count4] => 239549 [match_work_count5] => 239449 [match_work_count6] => 239708 [match_work_count7] => 238995 [match_work_count8] => 238508 [match_work_count9] => 239126 [match_work_count10] => 239069 [match_work_count11] => 238590
chances are one of your modules is not getting power and it will show it with considerably lower numbers (might even be 0) The modules are grouped by 8 lines so you can spot where the problem is

My miner restarts every 3-12 hours.
Status MHS5s MinerCount AsicCount Frequency Fan1 Fan2 Fan3 Temp1 Temp2 Temp3 NMW Firmware Alive 106523.25 32 10 355 2640 0 2640 28 70 66 112 20130723
My assumption is that it affects my overall bitcoin count on slush's pool.
Now is this a good thing or bad thing?
How do I stabilize the restarts?

Try firmware 20130821, very stable and I picked up ~2GHS over the stock 20130723. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) edit: Oh, and mx4 thermal paste on 2 modules probably helped a lot. I thought a 20g tube would cover 3 but I ran out after 2.

So my hashrate just dropped to 40ghs and this is what the log is showing. [match_work_count1] => 23548
Everything looks fine? That looks normal Which hash rate are you talking about, the numbers reported by the pool or the MHSav number under the Status -> Cgminer Status tab in the interface? I sometimes see the pool reporting lower numbers than the web interface ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7isHJ4R.png&t=665&c=zLvdhIqbugx1wQ) which is something I can't explain (power consumption is also the same) My current solution is to hard reboot the machine when I spot this Can you make a screenshot of the Status -> Cgminer Status page?

HELP!! I flashed the bios to 20130821 last night and now its 20x worse!! Runs at 100ghs for about 30 seconds before dropping to 5ghs - 20ghs erratically. Left it for a few hours and no better. Tried a couple of versions in between with same results before flashing back to original backup and now that's fucked too ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Any suggestions? this is killing me!!!

Yours is a batch #3, it's probably throttling because of temps as the sensors have changed so the default temps are too low In more options try --real-quiet --avalon-auto --avalon-fan 100 --avalon-temp 70 --avalon-cutoff 90

By the way I would still not generally recommend setting the fan above 80% due to the design flaw that makes the higher pressure 38mm fans blow so hard that the low pressure fan 25mm is spinning but air is moving backwards through it.

Does that apply on the batch #3 too ? Not had the case off mine but it appears from the outside to only have those 2 high pressure fans, changed it anyway.

Is there no 25mm thick fan in the batch 3s? If not then it doesn't matter. Generally I'd suggest leaving the fan on the auto settings since I spent a lot of time making them work for optimal temperature/fanspeed/energy consumption.

I have a 4 module running at default settings with 300 frequency. The temperatures are 15 42 34. Should I up the frequency with stock psu? It's running at average 95 ghs. Thanks for any suggestions.
