New Antminer S5 Not Hashing and showing Temp of Zero

[malickie]

So I just got an Antminer S5 today and well it isn't doing anything, well it sort of is, I mean it's discarding everything but other than that not doing much of anything.  I have tried Multipool.us, Westhash, Coinking.io BTCGuild and none of them show it doing anything let alone the miner itself is showing 0 for gh/s.  Now, I know it will be asked so before that, I am using a 650 Watt XFX XTR PSU 80+ Gold, yes I know the PSU is on the low end for power but I wanted to get this up and running before I get my 850 Watt Corsair AX850 Gold PSU on Monday.  Anyway any help or insight would be great. 

If I knew how I would attack my pdf that I took of the screen showing what it is doing.

Oh yea forgot to mention I have put frequency all the way down to 200 and no change in hash, and fan1 is running at 120, Asic Status is all zero's.  I also reflashed the miner with the software from bitmain and didn't change anything.  Also one of the fins on the bottom is kinda of broken, as in it isn't attached to the machine and bent oddly, opened the box that way.

Here is some of my Kernel Log if it will help.

Might check this thread here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1073465.0

It has a lot of the suggestions that you should try.

[malickie]

Tested both boards independently and neither of them will hash, I mean they do great at rejecting everything but won't hash whatsoever.  Zero's across the board except for the discarded column.

I suppose I will wind up finding out Monday if this is a PSU Issue or not.

This is a screenshot of what it is doing.

Have you tried the following:

1) https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204875015-How-to-diagnose-S5-hashing-PCB

2) https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203559969-My-S5-hashes-at-about-600GH-S

Between the two they fix a lot of problems.  If this does not work you might try turning down frequency to test PSU.  But if none of this works you might have to wait on the other psu and see if it fixes the problem.

[malickie]

I am starting to think it is a PSU Issue.  Mainly because of what I have read about the stock fan being very very loud upon starting the machine and I didn't hear a peeep out of it.  Plus I plugged in my noctua fan and it didn't even do anything after a power cycle, or I have a bad miner.

[malickie]

I think I had my Paper Clip in the wrong position.  Played with where it went and fan came on all the sudden.  Yup, just confirmed it too by looking at miner just now and of course fan is being noisy now lol.  Sounds like my darn R9 290x when I am full speed on X11 or something.

Glad to hear it works!   Yea it can be loud and hot.  That is normal though.

I suggest using electrical tape to keep paperclip in place.  With doing this you don't have to worry about it slipping out of pins.

I ended up purchasing a couple of the "Antminer Power Supply Jumper" gadgets. Search around, and you get a couple for about $3-4 each, less if you buy multiple. They aren't fancy, but they resolve the issues, and make it trivial to "power cycle" your miner when needed. Yes, they are more expensive than electrical tape and paper clip. They even include a little LED to tell you that the power supply is actually powered up.

It's not a bad idea at all.  I'm so use to paperclips I just keep doing it (besides the nice evga that include a jumper).  But those antminer switches are very nice.  And they don't cost to much.

Something  else if you can find a offbrand PSU tester for cheap you can plug motherboard end into it and use it to keep PSU on.

[denisbaldwin]

I would definitely check the power supply. I have the same issue with one of mine, only to find out after getting a tester that one of my 12V legs was bad on the PSU.

A little late he solved the problem - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1073524.msg11479301#msg11479301

[gablay12]

I have got a similar problem.The only difference is I have got temperature '35'.

What do you suugest?I have ordered a PSU tester and will check PSU.Anyone who has an idea is wellcome.

What model is your current PSU?  Can you take a screenshot of your status page?

[gablay12]

My PSU is Corsair CX750.

Pls find below the link of status page.

[gablay12]

The frequency is 100 because I wanted to try if it is a PSU related problem.I have several PSUs, same brand.When I tried the other one I get some hash at 100 frequency.Can both PSUs may be problematic?When I increased the freq to 300 or 350 it does not hash.

I cannot remember for sure on this.  Does the CX750 have 4 SEPERATE pcie power cords?  Not the connectors but actual cords going to pcie.

[gablay12]

4 seperate cables on CX750.

[dimke_yu]

Try with stronger single rail PSU and then report results.

[philipma1957]

Try with stronger single rail PSU and then report results.

this is good advice


using a cx750  is using a borderline psu.



@ op or @ gabley12
also freq 100 is not too stable try freq 250  let it run  for 20 minutes  see if you get 750 gh or a little better then that

[gablay12]

I will receieve new PSUs today.I will report the results.

I am running one S5 with CX750 Corsair.If it is a borderline PSU we are in trouble we have more than a hundred with this configuration.
