When I fuss with my cardboard and fans, I sometimes get a reboot. Since I run, at the present, without the top, center cardboard cooling the BBB, a 12v fan sitting inside blowing on the left side of the module, another 12v fan outside the case blowing on the right side of the 1 module (Mercury), I added another piece of cardboard to the right of the BBB, to the side and up to the module, taking the air pushed out the side and directing it to the module. The miner white light came on and off as I moved the fans, perhaps a loose pin in an added fan connector, but it started again right away. Put Bertmod back but earlier tried the 0.2.1 and found it works well with firmware 0.90, looked at my cores, which I could with the 0.2.1, and earlier their was a single core not up, but now there are four 100% cores and the BertMod says the power change from adding that one core on firmware 0.90 with ~0.9v to the 4 vmr's, was 174 watts with one core down and 180 watts with all cores running.
Any chance of a few photos? Hard to visualise. So, Google drive, allow anyone to view, paste the address between the image not-image ? Try http://imgur.com/, very easy to upload photos. |

AAAaaaah!... you almost got it! clear your IE browser cashe and do again... the admin/admin is indeed the right place...clearing the cashe will allow you in! ccleaner is fast & easy. most have better luck with chrome tho....whatever works! |

if you are going to do all that, drop the heatsink fans to the crossbar. you'll be amazed on the drop in temp  |

Sheesh, the photos you provided just show chunks of cardboard, I wanted to see how the air was being directed inside from the inlet fan. Forget it. Look, the cardboard goes from the metal bottom to the angled edge of the front. Air pushed in by the front fans can only go out the sides but pushes down on the BBB at the same time. Experiment. If you're not running a Mercury then my arrangement ain't best for you. Ha! New high avg hashrate: KnC 0: | 163.9G/137.2Gh/s | A:133086 R:10263 HW:10757 WU:2191.8/m |

Seriously? Fucking about with bits of cardboard in a multi thousand rig that's days old?
Mine arrives needing shit like that they will get it back, I paid for a working miner capable of a certain hashrate and anything less is not acceptable.
IT should have been here a fucking week ago too.
Read the site, what they are selling. That is what you should get. Simple as that. They don't deliver that, they are at fault.
You fucking about with it makes it vulnerable to them claiming you are out of warranty. Be careful.

I for one appreciate any tweaks & quirks anyone shares... knowledge & feedback from customers at this stage is critical If you are in this game, you need to learn how to share information instead of bashing every little comment, and the profanity really isn't needed either. |

with the original 0.95 firmware.
glad we could be testbeds for you!! I'm happy with my early coins but do have one limp miner to nurse now. Glad the other one had a bit more constitution it's beyond my comprehension why major bitcoin mining software developers got their test-rigs only one week ago. Additionally, the biggest pre 0.95 bugs seem to got fixed by a customer. And still the Jupiter gets me the most rejects of all my miners. I'm really looking forward to a ckolivas release... |

Just fine tuning things, I'm sure yours will work just fine when it arrives, and you can just leave it running how it came, no one said you need to tweak it for extra performance. |

I think tweaking will be necessary to get the best performance and people sharing their mods is useful so we don't have to reinvent the wheel. From the thermal imaging photos and user experiment's, it's beginning to look like the VRM's are in a sub-optimum position. According to the spec sheet, the cooling airflow should be directed like this (thanks to Bitbuster for jpg):  As the VRMS are mounted parallel to the edge of the case, I imagine very little cool air in getting down in there and certainly the air is not being directed the way it is required to keep them optimally cool. To make things worse in the Jupiter, the late addition baffles added to the case are probably pushing hot air in that direction. No wonder people who have experimented, (like the photos posted by trepex & soy), have put fans on either side, blowing directly into the VRMs and this seems to improve the situation. Not sure anyone has been able to do this with a jupiter, as there wouldn't be space to sit fans on each side. It seems the way jupiter owners have handled this is to sit a massive box fan on top of the miner blasting air downwards to cool. And the other thermal image photo shows that the beaglebone get's hot. I wouldn't have been able to guess it needed a bit of extra cooling without someone sharing their research. So keep up the experiments guys, it's interesting for us all until we get our own units to play with. |
