[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S7 Setup [HD]

[VirosaGITS]

I received 1 s7 but not working properly.
With 600 frei it s not stable and do it 4550 with 0.11-0.14 error.
When I try more 600 hash droped.
550 frei 4400-4500

Any idea ?
I used 2000w server psu

Well Bitmain is now selling the S7- or inferior portion of their S7 as Batch 2. You may be able to ask a partial refund for the difference because your miner does not meet the specs. Again its probably a single blade thats being suck. =/

So i'd say try 575hz since thats what the batch 2 come with at, stock.

Good point on the single blade. Will not fix the problem but would be instructive to boot up with just 2 boards connected at a time and see if there is one Hash board that is throwing the HW errors? Three reboots needed dropping a different board each time.

I ve manage my PSU.
In full hashing - 12.3 V
600- 4700-4750
It s better from before.

dogie, are you going to test out the S7 firmware updates and let us know the pros and cons?  I'm hearing it is giving a slight improvement and less variation in hash rates but I'm leery of upgrading until I know what they might be taking away...

Maybe although firmware is always a tricky area. People come up with the weirdest "it did x y z blew up my machine error rate up 0.00005%" things which makes it hard to tell anyone anything of value when its drowned out by anecdotes.

Usually firmware is released to fix specific problems...does anyone know what this release addresses?  Do you have any inside scoop on this one?

Can you post a screenshot of the status and configuration pages?

Those two images don't line up, they're showing different pools to each other. Also, what PSU are you using?

[farhangian]

I changed the pool in next image
I buy the psu from bitmaintech

Try 575mhz on the advanced settings page and go back to Antpool.

I try with 575 , 550 but hw erore is very high and my hashrate is under 4000th/s

That reminds me, what PSU did you use Dogie? I'm looking at either getting one like yours or doubling up on a Corsair 850 modular psu (it weighs as much as a barge, I love it.).

Can a single 110V 15A outlet handle this? 


Thanks for your help!

Mine is on a DPS-2000 but that's more to do with the PSU already being on the right shelf than anything. 2x Corsair CX750Ms is the cheapest but requires 2 additional 2xmolex to PCI-E adapters. There isn't really a sensible single consumer PSU option, so 2x of whatever you can get should be okay.

Can a single 110V 15A outlet handle this? Thanks for your help!

110 * 15 * 0.8 = sort of but not really. I don't think officially you should be doing that 24/7 but its your decision.

You could get a EVGA 1600 G2, but its pricey.

i bought the EVGA 1600 G2 to try out. still waiting on a 6 pin splitter to be shipped in though. it has 9 PCIe slots. so close!

The EVGA 1600 G2 comes with at least 14 PCI-e connectors. My 1300 G2 came with many and also had some 1x6+1x6+2 pins cables too. So you should have plenty of connectors.

Did you get it used? Or did you not count both 6+2 and 6 pin cables?

From stock;
PCIE: 9 x 8pin (6+2), 5 x 6pin = Total would be 14 connectors.

Oh, so you can use the outputs labeled for CPU? I haven't plugged it in yet, it is new, just figured i should stick to VGA power points.
