I'm pissed off now for sure.
.97 SLOWED 2 of 3 SATURNs
wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
enjoy?... yeah, right.

You knew the risks when you chose to update it

If you're not prepared for doom, just leave it the way it is.

Phoenix just wait a couple of minutes to settle again.
At first i was seeing ultra low speeds as well but after like 15 minutes it was showing steady about the same numbers on average hash rate, however i would like to know what the impact is from higher WU on the pool.
On the pool its still not settled and jumps from 240 to 340 Gh so i think that needs to settle in time as well

After 85 minutes on 0.97 I can confirm that
- the flushworks is much better now
- the average performance is better than on 0.96 (at least with very good cooling) - I would say 2-3 more Gh/s

with 0.97 firmware
i go from 540gh to 550gh

 

so eventually you were able to resurrect your dead die through enablecore.bin?

[jelin1984]

check a lot before install new firmware

[sickpig]

i think so yes

I'm glad

have you already upgraded to 0.97?

recommended. not required.

Your miners were working very well before yet you still decided to tinker with it anyway by updating the firmware.

The main rule of thumb when updating any drivers/firmware for anything is that things can break or go wrong.

I don't really appreciate the satire, especially since the two were underperforming to begin with... so everyone should just not update anything cause you said so, eh? Even when KNC recommends it.. .     I hope it happens to you as well.

I don't see any satire at all in my posts

Anyone is free to do whatever. Just know there are risks in doing so.

Underperforming miners eh? I thought your 3 were pretty good.

they were 255, 265, and 275
the 255 sat is like a jup at 510... you call that good?
0.97 made it 220
it made the one with 265, now 260
the 3rd, one was 275, is 275

[cet]

does anyone know how to get the web interface to connect to the cgminer api correctly?  I just did an update from .95 to .97  and the miner status data doesn't display correctly.

Code:

Mining Status

CGMiner Status	Running (Connect to CGMiner API failed)
Last Checked	
Avg. Hash Rate	
WU	
Difficulty Accepted	
HW Status

ASIC slot #1	50.0 ℃
ASIC slot #2	-
ASIC slot #3	60.0 ℃
ASIC slot #4	53.0 ℃
ASIC slot #5	48.0 ℃
ASIC slot #6	-

Thanks,

255 265 275. For sats. Pretty good.

What are your expectations? 290 290 290?

I certainly understand taking a conservative approach, especially when money is involved - but in this case, it is literally a less-than-30-second job to revert to your old firmware if you don't like the new stuff, so why not just try it?

So far, it looks to me like the flushwork improvement in 0.97 is worth the effort.

You need to enable CGminer API and restart CGminer

No, and stop being a smart-ass, please?
What I expect, is 3 machines running around 270-275, just like the specs say.
255 is crap, 265 is nominal

Thanks, that solved my problem.

[plasmoske]

Please point to me where the spec says a sat should run at 270-275.

Okay it does write that in the website but that's for the lucky. Not everyone gets those max speeds.

It should really say "runs up to a max of ###gh/s"

[Xialla]

is this good replacement for stock heatsink fans?

thanks for any advice.
