Thanks I just did that rite before you answered and it seems to have picked up a little speed and stabilized some. Ill run it all night like this and see what happens. I think I may be pulling to much power off this breaker and that may be causing errors. I keep seeing the lights dim ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Im going to move to another room. while it's not very safe, it should not matter too much as most switched power supplies will adjust for a big swing in input voltage After moving to another breaker and running for a few hours today Im still seeing crazy HW errors. I opened up the case and checked all my connections everything is nice and snug. Avalon mini batch 2 Firmware 20130821 --avalon-auto 1h 20m 6s 60-53GH/s 2617 accepted 85 rejects HW 850 Frequency 375 Fan1 4080 temps 27 49 47 32% HW errors is crazy high. Any suggestions? Whats the difficulty setting at the pool your mining with? You are using the Diff1Shares as your total shares right? 850 might not be as bad as you think. Mine is at 2538 HW with Diff1Shares at 388259 so 388259+2538=390797 and 2538/390797 = .65% if I'm doing my math right. Here is what I changed to set at 400mhz and 80% fans ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2INXa3W.png%3F1&t=665&c=LWMPjQuzesw1GQ)

Thats not horrible at all. You need to run it longer to be sure though. 23 minutes is not much data. (HW / (HW+Diff1Shares))*100 is the formula to find your HW error percentage iirc

So I think, based on what you said, I have been calculating the HW errors wrong. Thanks for clarifying.

Its a huge thread. Buried back in those posts you'll find it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=254331.0Might be useful. Its adds a HW error field to the stats. I have the tab open with that page but have never set it up yet.

I have the tab open with that page but have never set it up yet. Lol it really is huge I have been reading through it for a few days just trying to learn as much as I can. I just got the unit yesterday and because of all the great info here I have saved myself the embarrassment of asking a few simple questions (minus this one ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ). Again thanks for all the feedback. I have to say, this is one of the best forums I have had the pleasure being a part of. Everyone (for the most part) is so helpful. On top of that I dont think I have ever seen a thread that has someone spewing hateful/homophobic remarks. Thanks again.

My mini uses the exermax 850w Gold PSU can I push to 450mhz? I am getting low temps at night around 40c at 409mhz with 80% fans but Im wondering if its safe to push the unit that hard I am just trying to see the limits of this machine.. I am not seeing hash rates over 55gh/s below 400mhz on the firmware Im running (20130821). I have tried a few different versions but I do not see the same results that others post. I would love to be running at 345mhz but I cant even break 55gh/s its more like 50gh/s. I tired this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240810.msg2552362#msg2552362 with no luck. At 409mhz I peak at 70~gh/s but its more like 65-60gh/s with HW <2% ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FlAVj2z7.png&t=665&c=AEZIHblZjT_CXQ) This pic is with --quite not 80% fans. I have seen temp 1 as low a 7c but hovers around 11c mostly. Sorry if this is not the place for this. I did see a post in this thread yesterday that had a few links to OC threads but I could not find it again today.

The only numbers that are important to you are the ones on the pool, disregard all numbers you see in the miner stats. I think your hardware increase when heat goes up to much, and thats when you are reaching low results.. stick to 375 on --avalon-auto i think is best. (skip quiet). I get 60gh on mines.. but i restart cgminer automatically every 4 hours. It keeps hw errors low. (0821).

Huh? Are you serious? Do you even have an Avalon? or even a hat? I am raffling my HashFast Sierra too. only 0.1BTC for a chance to win! P.S. The Sierra does not exist yet, but even if it does and even if I have one, I will just pretend to pick the name of a bitcointalk member that I created myself or a friend of mine who is in on this scam.

How do you scheduled cgminer to restart every 4 hours? Ill have to read back through the tread for that one. But the 65-60gh/s is what my pool reports at my current settings and at 1.5% HW. When I remove the --quiet the machine runs cooler so I assume my errors will drop with the temp. Thanks for the feedback

I think I may be pulling to much power off this breaker and that may be causing errors. I keep seeing the lights dim ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Im going to move to another room. while it's not very safe, it should not matter too much as most switched power supplies will adjust for a big swing in input voltage After moving to another breaker and running for a few hours today Im still seeing crazy HW errors. I opened up the case and checked all my connections everything is nice and snug. Avalon mini batch 2 Firmware 20130821 --avalon-auto 1h 20m 6s 60-53GH/s 2617 accepted 85 rejects HW 850 Frequency 375 Fan1 4080 temps 27 49 47 32% HW errors is crazy high. Any suggestions? Don't use --avalon-auto on your mini.

System Scheduled Tasks Add these two: 0 */3 * * * /etc/init.d/cgminer restart 0 20 * * * /sbin/reboot
first one, will restart cgminer every three hours. second will restart entire miner every 20 hours.. This way i have realised to keep some of my miners online better (those on wifi tend to lock and go m.i.a after a while).

It is calculated as HW / (Diff1Shares + HW). Given that --avalon-auto tries to keep it around 1.5%, I'd say yours is doing better.

Is there a way to set the fans to a minimum and keep it there regardless of the temperature?
I set fan at 40% but when the temp raises the fan starts to spin faster.
My goal is to turn avalon into a silent heater.

Hehe, no matter what you do, it will try and keep heat at 50dgr (or 70 on chip). if it goes above, it will risk your chips frying..
