Oh, damn. I didn't think of that.
Nicehash has merged mining?
I know they mine several different coins. I would not be surprised if there is merged mining there. Heh ... ok, disregard my post then .... sigh.... I thought my streak of 40+ years of having no luck at all was broken. |

I found 4 blocks in 3 days ... with an S5...
Too bad I was not solo mining ....
Those are not bitcoin blocks, probable a new low diff coin. Oh, damn. I didn't think of that. Nicehash has merged mining? Nicehash doesn't do merged mining. Someone rented your hash and pointed it to another SHA-256 coin pool most likely. |

I cracked open my power supplies and tweaked them to be putting out 12.25V +/- 0.005V at a 50% load. It made a WORLD of difference with the S7's. My power supplies were ranging from 11.6V to 11.8V under load, I was getting some hardware errors but it wasn't so bad. I was trying to see if the voltage was the reason why the fifo buffers keep tossing the error that they are empty. It didn't fix that issue, but the HW errors went to 0.0000x ( beyond the readings ability )
For information, I'm using Delta DPS-1200FB 1200W power supplies, 2 hashboards per power supply, and used an S5 pulling right at 600W as the load when calibrating all the power supplies.
That's precisely the reason I believe they came out with batch 6 having 135 chips. I believe they were receiving too many tickets for high HWE's and sub-par hash rates from people not having PSU's with 12.0+ Volts DC. I could be wrong but it's highly possible. |

Why did I suddenly think of Mr. Spock?
Because you're obviously a super cool trekkie! Now, Mr. Scot, can you describe in excruciating detail how you hacked your PSU to make it produce the flavor of power that S7's hunger for? All power supplies are built differently, some have "fixed" voltage regulation, some have a slightly variable voltage regulation. The DPS-1200FB is one that is slightly variable. Unplug the power supply and clip into your ESD protection. Remove the 4 screws that hold the cover on. Tilt back the cover, wiggle and pull down to remove, you will see the tabs are T shaped and hook into the slot. When the cover is off, fold back the fishpaper insulation. The now exposed side board will show 3 very small potentiometers (silver in color near the top edge of the board) The voltage regulation potentiometer is the far right one, that is the one you need to tweak, but first you need to power it up under load. Once you see where and what you need to do, unclip from your ESD protection and plug in the power supply ( in my case I used 240VAC ) NOTE --- The power supply is HOT now ... DO NOT START TOUCHING CIRCUIT BOARDS WITH YOUR FINGERS OR TOOLS... HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT!!! If you do not have a resistive load that can handle continuous duty, use a miner as the load. I'd recommend at minimum, a 50% load of the power supplies maximum rated output. Once your load has stabilized ( miner up and hashing ),take your DMM test probes and stick them into the back side (wire side) of one of the molex connectors, One row of 3 pins is positive, one row of 3 pins is negative. Now take a micro screwdriver - I prefer a non-conductive / non-inductive screwdriver, but if you don't have one, a cheap ass dollar store flat blade eye glasses screw driver will work. BE VERY CAREFUL, THERE ARE SMT COMPONENTS IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE POTENTIOMETER. IF THE BLASE SLIPS OFF THE POT, YOU COULD SHORT OUT AGAINST ONE OF THE COMPONENTS NEAR BY. Take the screwdriver and rotate the far right potentiometer very slowly while watching your DMM. Adjust till it reads 12.25V. Stop, remove the screwdriver, and let it sit for a minute while watching the DMM voltage reading. If its looking good, as in where you want the voltage to be, unplug the power supply from the wall outlet, clip back into your ESD protection and re-assemble. BE SURE TO GET THE FISHPAPER ~~UNDER~~ THE CENTER SCREW TAB AND THAT IT REMAINS THERE WHILE YOU CLOSE THE LID. Once it is fully assembled, power it up again, test the output under load with the load miner to ensure it is functioning properly. It is then ready for use. Make a label, a sticker, or write on the cover the voltage at what % load you calibrated at. I should also note - DO NOT USE AN OVERCLOCKING SETTING ON THE MINER WHEN CALIBRATING. I noticed that when I used an S5 as a load and the miner was overclocked, the miner was far more sensitive to the voltage fluctuation of adjusting and would stop mining, giving you an UNLOADED DMM voltage reading. |

There is no DC to DC conversion in the S7's. So what voltage your "feed" your S7's directly correlates to the chip voltage and hashing power.
SO, ~~AFTER~~ your Bitmain warentee expires and you want to experiment. Keep this voltage adjustment knowledge handy.... over clocking with the ease of overvolting just might lead to some interesting results. ( Either poof to the MOOOON hashing ... or POOF, you let the magic smoke out of it )
I'm guessing there was a converter in the other models? I wonder why they dropped it in the S7. |
Solo mining is alive and profitable!
Helped? Thanks! 1CXRFh4bDVFBsUzoHMMDbTMPcBP14RUTus
