A2 Mega 110 Mh/s Questions

[madmartyk]

OK, I'm on my 3rd A2 Mega from ZoomHash.  The 1st 2 were black and would hash around 105 Mh/s.  This one is one of the silver ones, 1st thing I noticed is that there is no status panel on the front.  2nd thing no matter what I have done, it won't hash over 90 Mh/s.  My avg over 12 hours has been between 87 and 88 Mh/s.  I was really happy with the 1st 2 units, but this one really let me down.

Anyone else out there have one of the silver A2's?  What is your avg hashrate?

Thanks!!

Sorry to hear that, it sucks when that happens.
I've got two units of the silver ones very recently and they are giving >100Mhs (like the black 110 I also have). However I am currently waiting for replacement fans and hope they will perform even a little better when all blades are cooled properly. I also plan to update the firmware on them later to have more options.

Maybe you want to check the HW-errors in the Web-GUI, I have from an earlier order one 88Mhs that clearly underperforms at ~70-75Mhs, but there one of the blades has extraordinary high error rate and I believe that's the cause for underperforming.
You could also check the fans by holding your hand in front of it and noticing the sound they make and (those that blow out the temp of the air coming out), you will quickly feel and see if one or more do not work full-speed (holding hand in front to cover gives less noise and outgoing air is hotter than on others).

Avg temp is 34, no hardware errors, avg hash 87.56.

Yeah, 34° is pretty cool, the one I have in cooled datacenter runs at ~39°.
Stupid question: Do you see all blades in Web-GUI? My 88Mhs Terminator from time to time "forgets" about a blade and then runs with the remaining 5 at ~60Mhs, a cold start fixes that.
Elsewise I am out of suggestions as I am sure you checked the more trivial things like Ethernet and Internet connection, another pool and all the standard stuff already.

Yep seeing six blades, tried 3 different pools, internet connection good.

I popped a message to ZoomHash, we'll see what they say.

In chatting with MarkAZ, it looks like ZoomHash may have shipped me a 88 Mh/s unit!!  Seems the 110s should have 5 fans, mine only has 3.  It would seem the hash rate I'm getting is correct for a 88.

[madmartyk]

Still waiting for ZoomHash to let me know what to do.  I might just return it and get 2 88s direct.

What happened to your miner, are they willing to change it and cover for all the loses?

[madmartyk]

Still waiting for them to get back to me.

[madmartyk]

Problem resolved!!

Problem resolved!!

How, what's the resolution?

[madmartyk]

Let's just say they made me whole.
