My Avalon 6's are in undervolt + down clock results.

[philipma1957]

Fedex was 1 day early.

I have some down clock numbers

freq 400

volts 10.6

watts 596

gh 2209

watts per gh .269


will try 9.5 volts next

Kind of disappointing, not much of an increase from the stock .284w/gh.  Maybe more tweaking will show better numbers.

I was hoping for a super quiet miner that can down volt greatly for higher efficiency. Sound like sadly the S7 might be the better option for both Area.

yeah I need to disable smartspeed.

oh silent miner it is.

Is it silent at full speed? With the fan rpm listed by the dev, i was pretty sure these were loud.

Glad you recieved your miners philip. Notlist3d's video was silent, I mean the miner seem to be silent, but still he reported over 60 dB at 3 foot, its close to S7. What are your recordings?

well I will do that in a few minutes.

I can tell I will not be able to do a good undervolt until I can figure out how to turn off smartspeed.

that will be in ssh.

It does allow for lower volts it can run at 10.2 but I think the smartspeed fucks up tweaking.

I will need a good look at  ssh to disable it.


after a few minutes I will pull the meanwell psu and instead of it put in a quiet psu for sound measurements

as for real undervolt measurements  anyone that is good with ssh please let me know how to ssh and kill off smart speed

i have it red high lighted the 4.1 avalon's let you do it in gui  the 6 looks to have it buried in ssh

Keep in mine mine were done with a smart phone, so like I said accuracy is not guaranteed.    My video I showed it running at 20 percent (default speed on fan).   You could make it even quieter if you went to 10 percent and your ambient allowed it.

It is not silent but still not bad I have used it for free heat last few day's in my room.

yeah ive got one in the living room at stock settings and its tolerable forsure

S7 in the same spot however would have my wife and kids going haywire

I kinda plan doing the same thing. Thanks for the heads up guys. Looking forward to philip's noise level review.

okay sitting in my den 7 ft from the tv screen and 4 ft from 2 miners.

sound level is 57 to 59 db with no effort to make them quiet. if this was 2 s-7's i would be around 75db

the fans ramp up and down a bit.

I am running them with 2 seasonics and an evga so the psu's are not adding volume .

[philipma1957]

I had freq at 500 and fans at 20%


I dropped  fans at 15% kept freq at 500  and  gear  settled well.

It is running with 1x seasonic 1200 watt plat

and 1x seasonic 1000 watt plat

and 1 x evga 1000 watt plat.

I am doing 120 volt power  and using about 2000 watts for about 6930gh  that comes to .288 watts a gh

sound levels are around 56db   I will photo the temp setup.

freq 400

volts 10.6

gh 2209

watts per gh .269

That is a little disappointing at 0.27J/GH and actually worse that the numbers you quoted at 400MHz & 11.2V in notlist3d thread, which was 0.265J/GH

freq 400
volts 11.2
watts 741
 2800gh

In practice I do not think the 9.5V frequency will have been 400MHZ as I think it will have downclocked to about 315MHz. notlist 3d said you can see the actual frequency in the Cgminer API Log? It may be that "smartspeed" is messing things up, perhaps by seeking zero HW errors? Or it my have just done the best job it could, although I feel that it would be unusual to not see a better improvement with that reduction in voltage? We need more information on how smartspeed works and what it does?

smart speed seeks to run no hardware errors if it was the same as avalon 4.1   so it will reduce gh too much.

at least that is what would happen to 4.1's

Thats some retarded ass logic on the firmwares part! Nearly any chip will spit out errors over time no matter what voltage its at. They should look for keeping errors under a certain running % ... not 0 LOL!
No wonder the units got clocked down too far!
I think thats how fucking SP20's work too...

yeah    give me a little more time today.  I will clone the sd card for a back up try poking around in ssh a little bit on my own.

It is annoying as it was running on 11.5 ,11 ,10.5, 10.2, and 9.6 never crashed just keep downclocking the freq automatically .  so when I would volts hash would drop 10 minutes later.

the good thing is this is fixable someone will come up with smart speed disabled and you will be able to save .

Now on the good side my psu can do 13volts and the smart speed will auto over clock these can run over 4000gh no problem  and they don't run hot like the sp20 did.

[-droid-]

ive got 3 running at 3250gh.. wondering if its my PSU situation.. im going to mess around a bit more with them

voltage is around 11.9-12.1

[thebonenz]

Thanks Phillip! Looks like the results weren't as expected but glad you are still trying!

[philipma1957]

ahh I got tired setting them up.  Then I broke a tooth eating dinner so off to the dentist on tues.

To be able to fully ssh and find the file  for smart speed  then disable it..


then try freq 400 with 11 volts is the goal.

And it looks like black friday or later before I know for sure.

right now I am running with 2 seasonic plats. at freq 480
