Using a 1200w PSU I am successfully running at 350mhs
 
What is the max that someone has seen running at 1200w? 375mhs? Had the PSU already so it just made sense.

This is a 4 module system purchased recently.

Your only getting 350MH/s or are running at 350Mhz?

I get 107GH/s at 335Mhz using 860w PSUs. I just don't see any reason to install a 1200w to go higher unless your not paying for power!

Sorry you are correct, using 350mhz. I am gettting ~110ghs...I am using the 1200w because I already had it and ya I don't pay for power it is a set fee in my rent.

I'd love to see this thing hit 115-120gh/s

Also, just to note, I've noticed overclocking to 375mhz actually seems to reduce my overall hash rate. I've read this is a possibility but I was wondering why.

I really love this piece of hardware, its very interesting, educational and fun to mess with. Also, I should get a good amount of my money back overtime since I paid with USD for it.

Someone here told me it really wasn't worth the effort or cost to OC the Avalon 4 module past 107GH/s as you get so little reward for doing it. So I have never brothered. But if you really want 120GH/s buy two Avalon Mini's!

[thorvald]

you can split it in 2 units , oc to  370 -375 with no hw modification is possible
I`ve splinted 2x3 modules units in 3x2 modules at about 60gh  unit  with speed from 365 up to 375 , found out that if you do not connect them to port 1 has better speed and lower hw

I may have an answer to hw% by the end of the week.

Ok. I really don't love it when I ask a question some tells me it's not worth it since it would be impossible for you to know what is worth what in my world. I don't pay for electricity, I have a 1200w psu already just sitting around. So you are telling me that getting an extra 10gh/s isn't worth opening my avalon and plugging in a psu, and then adjusting a single setting on the machine?

I am asking for help, details not opinion. Not trying to be a prick but really it's a common issue on these forums.

Here's the question . Why is it that I get less hashrate when set to 375? 350 seems the level off number.
The machine is already running at 350 overclocked with the psu already installed (1200w corsair ax series)

[Threader]

it will be worth it if its stable. Nothing more frustrating then going away for a long stretch to come back to an idle/off machine.

But more of an undertaking than I would want to bother with right now but does seem a good way to get best results. Maybe once I'm mining only a few mbtc per day...

wait at 350 mhz and check your HW. at 350mhz there are many error hw

375 mhz is not really possible without modification, water cooling and air conditioning

what model do you receive ? B2 or B3

i buy some and receive 1 B3 and 2 B2

[jddebug]

Just got an Avalon Mini.

2 cards running at 375Mhz.

Its supposed to do 60GH but I am only getting 49 to 50GH.

The other ones I have do 60.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Yes, You can add these items under the "Scheduled Tasks" to help reboot the system if it starts acting up.

^ What they said, plus I would highly recommend checking/upgrading your TIM before OCing or OVing your miner.
I was able to hit ~365MHz before OVing but that was also warmer ambient temps.

same problem for 2 mini avalon and i have 2 other box not open

I see the same in mine 17 to 24 are 0 which leads me to believe they don't work. Someone told me that these mini's only have 16 chips in them, which would make sense. 2 modules = 16, 3 modules = 24, and 4 modules = 32. So I am still not sure if I should reduce the 24 miner count to 16.

My mini gets 59008.84 MH/s which isn't the full 60GH/s but I am not complaining!

Uhm,

I'd say en error in cgminer options, a two modules unit should have 16 mining units, while a three modules one has 24 of them.
