What are you using for spiclk speeds and bitfury clock setting?
SPI clock 500 kHz, core voltage 0.88V, internal slow osc 54 bits.
|
NO PSAKING!

I've got it running 9.5GH on seven chips; was running 8.5GH on four. Pretty disappointing ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Weird - I've got a 9-chip chain that's maxing out @ 9.5GH as well. Just did a rework of my DC converter because of this and have tried all the clock settings posted here. This is why I assumed you were using an external clock when you were running 4 @ 9GH.

Is anybody else getting those crazy spikes out of c-scape's 16 bitfury card power supply? Guess this is why my chain is highly unstable, the length is detected randomly and sometimes even not detected at all... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitmine.ch%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F08%2FSDS00006.png&t=665&c=muuxiHGFDx3ahg) Any help appreciated! Thanks

@giorgiomassa: did you check the input voltage ? Is it stable ?

Happy with your c-scape product ? Consider a tip: 16X2FWVRz6UzPWsu4WjKBMJatR7UvyKzcy

Yeah, 12.000V stable and no ripples, it's very strange, maybe some parts of the TPS are damaged/broken?

Yeah, 12.000V stable and no ripples, it's very strange, maybe some parts of the TPS are damaged/broken? Or wrong value. Most likely in compensation loop.

Under development Modular UPGRADEABLE Miner (MUM). Looking for investors. Changing one PCB with screwdriver and you have brand new miner in hand... Plug&Play, scalable from one module to thousands.

Or wrong value. Most likely in compensation loop.
Or in the (over)current sense resistors. I assume the resistors are all unmarked ?

The 5 parallel resistors on the back are (counting from corner): 220k, 147k, 187k, 220k, 100k. Did they put silk screen on the back ?

Pretty sure it's a software problem. Switched from cgminer to chainminer, and now I'm seeing >18GH on seven chips! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Our (c-scape & intron) bi•fury board is hashing over 5 GH/sec. Screenshot from BTC Guild: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJMynSa4.gif&t=665&c=AVwgwutNIPShPA) Photo of bi•fury prototype board with 2 ASICs, plugged into laptop. A fan is aimed at the board + heatsink, keeping the ASIC temperature at 45 ℃, and the rest of the board (including the regulator) at 40 ℃. Core voltage has been set at 0.84V. The extra pushbuttons, jumper, and 3 wire UART are just for testing/debugging. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FaVozG6t.jpg&t=665&c=ybErt-omoM_y7g) Holy thats pretty impressive ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Any news on full production/cost?

Holy thats pretty impressive ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Any news on full production/cost? Like with the S-HASH design, we're not looking to mass produce this ourselves, but we're open for licensing agreements with 3rd parties to build them. It's hard to estimate a cost. It all depends on volume and what kind of deal you can make with the bitfury ASIC sellers.

I think I have a bad chip. It was acting strangely when I was testing cgminer hashing one chip at a time, reporting between 500 and 1500MH where all others were >2.5GH.
Now that I'm on chainminer, I just repopulated that chip on the board, and this seems to confirm it's marginal:

I don't understand what all the stats mean yet, but chip #8 is the one I suspected as bad.
