Baikal Giant X10

it is something very sad that there is competition in various aspects, and hopefully it is alias baikal and bitmain it can compete in marketing, and it will be a very good trend in terms of the next competition

So, I have two hash boards hooked up. I figured out it doesn't work if you don't have one hash board in the middle. The problem I'm having now is, there is no fan control. Every number I put in the GUI doesn't do anything. I thought I would try and find a manual fan controller, but I've had no luck. Any ideas? I'm thinking the middle hash board that croaked was maybe a special hash board that was able to control the fan?

Thanks for the tip on DeoxIT!

The fan is probably powered by the middle hashboard. Unscrew it, take the hash boards out and reconnect the fan to the first hash board. Leave the middle hash board out if it's had it and that should solve your problem.

Each hash board has it's own white connector, where you can plug in a fan. Visually, all three boards look the same. I have two hash boards installed, one in the middle, with the fan plugged into that one. Everything works fine; I just can't control the fan from the Baikal GUI.

Yes, I got that.

The middle board has power but it can't communicate hence your issue. Changing the fan to the first board should resolve your issue.

It didn't resolve the issue, plugging the fan into the first card. Do you have one of these? Have you tested this before?

Yeah I have 10 of them. You can try reinstalling the sd card image and if that doesn't work you need to buy a new controller.

I broke down and bought a $10 3-speed fan from Walmart. I unplugged and removed the black fan from the Baikal X10, I put the Walmart fan in front of it.

do it efficient reduce the temperature compare with previously?

The price of the coins has been rising these days, will it keep going well ？

No, it doesn't reduce the temperature more efficiently. The miner is at my office, and I need a way to reduce the noise. If I could control the fan speed with the built-in fan, I would keep it, for sure. I am also mining Skein, which uses the least amount of watts, so as to produce the least amount of heat.

you can control the fan speed with this setting at sgminer options: baikal-fan (sgminer options) and 40 (value). theh it will be running at 40%. it is working for me since some months without problems.

Unfortunately my X10 stopped working suddenly, no lights, just PSU switched on.
Even replaced PSU but no lights , nothing.
What could be the reason?

Sounds like defective control board.

With no lights at all U would check the PSU. Try a different one and if still no luck, unscrew the machine and make sure nothing's come loose. Even with defective parts some lights should come on

That's problem. It's not accepting any values. If there is a way to control the fan speed from the terminal, then I could do that, I just don't know the command. Does anybody know the exact command to type in the terminal?

Yes, that's what I'm saying. No value I type in has worked.

Try a factory reset.

[pennys2pounds]

Try a factory reset.

No such thing.
You have to take out the sd card and reprogramme it to completely reset it. There isn't a reset button like on Antminers

yeah, thats something you can also try.

but before that, I would reset by restoring factory defaults in the settings. This is equal to a factory reset, as the support told me once.

can you attach a screen shot shows where the button?

i never saw one similar feature button in the web interface.

Does anybody know a US based source to a fan compatible for an A900? I've been looking everywhere. I don't mind if I have to splice the wire from the old fan (two wire with 4 pin male coupler end) I've been looking everywhere, but I'm not finding it. I emailed Baikal, and they responded 8 days later that they had them but I should look for it locally because the shipping would cost much more then the shipping, but that they could sell me one. I don't want to wait another 8-16 days to go back and forth with them, especially if it's gonna cost 2-3X the price. Thanks for any assistance you might have.

Just klick on "Exapmle" and then Restore.
Seems strange, but it is the factory reset, so does Baikal say. You will lose your settings!
It solved several times some problems for me.
