Avalon batch [3] countdown!

[WinTame2012]

is anyone using the 20130810 klovias software?

Where I can read about this FW?

I'm using it. I used the 20130723 firmware for a couple of hours and switch to this latest one. I didn't notice any performance differences.

I finally got my 3 module Asic today. Order #67xx. So far everything works perfectly.
It was delivered to EU, luckily Avalon had put USD value on the box in addition to the BTC invoice, so customs used that value. The hassle with customs was therefore minimal.

I just added a 4th Batch#3 module to my 3 module Batch#3.

I am using a 850w Seasonic Gold P/S

Status   MHS5s   MinerCount   AsicCount    Frequency   Fan1    Fan2    Fan3    Temp1   Temp2   Temp3   NMW   Firmware
Alive      72942.16       24                         10               325                2400    0     2520               28             65           57           2             20130723



Is the 24 Minercount and 10 asicCount #s right for a 4 module?

It does not seem they are right.

Your minercount should be 32.

[greaterninja]

Your minercount should be 32.

a 850W Gold Seasonic should be enough to run 4 modules, right?

I put 2x 4pin CPU connectors in there or 1 x 8 pin CPU power connector and the IDE looking cable in there, right?


It should auto detect the 4th module after reboot right?  Or is there a command I need to set 32 for minercount?

**EDIT** ok set 32 for minercount manually.


hashes are now 107-110 GH/s

Thank You S M I L Y.

If you want to run at frequency of 325, better use a PSU no less than 1000W. Not only for stable, but also for safety.

If I recall my 4 module batch 3 with Corsair AX1200 gold supply pulls ~800 watts at the wall at 325mhz.

i am in the process of water cooling my unit.  Will try and get past 350mhz soon.

The thermal/mechanicals on this thing are horrific!  You can actively watch the PCB bow up from the heatsink as the ASICs start hashing!!

I will post pictures of my solution once it is all finished.

I have a box fan on my batch #3 avalon with the lid off.  batch #3 unit now has 4 modules and I lifted it off the ground and put it on a wooden chair.

Doing 350 (insane) all 4 modules; 850w Gold Power Supply;   The 4 units are hashing at 112.5GH/S stable for the last 4 hours.

850 is not really enough for even 3 modules. Mine was making some horrible noises. I was able to fit a 1350 watt psu in it. Most of my power supplies did not want to fit in the case.  I would get something big enough that your not over 80% load. You get a better efficiency the closer you get to 50-60% load.

I didn't get my unit so far or haven't gotten my refund. They are impossibly slow. Big minus from me for the avalon company.

Are you using a power meter?  1350W is insane overkill for a 3 module avalon.  Buy a power meter and see how much it's actually using.

Same model is sold on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Enermax-MaxRevo-Multiple-Modular-EMR1350EWT/dp/B0051VVU6G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376952554&sr=8-2&keywords=enermax+1350w
I couldn't find anything else that would fit. Enermax power supplies are all pretty short, even they barely fit though.

I have one, I have not checked it though. It should be near 800 watts. I would run at least a 1000 watt psu.

I run 4 modules on my batch #3 .

850W Seasonic Gold Modular Power Supply.  Its been running almost 2 weeks straight now.

355-358 frequency.

doing 111 to 113GH/s  (it has hashed faster and faster over the days).

It's not uncommon for power supplies to burn up under normal circumstances. Even if it doesn't start a fire, it's lifespan is not going to be very long. I doubt you will end up saving money from doing that. I learned my lesson early on with regards to being cheap with power supplies.

850W does not mean "Cheap".  A good power supply should simply shut off it gets into the danger zone.

[monkee]

850 is plenty for a 3 module doing 350
