Antminer D3 Blissz firmware (10/12 v1.12 update)

[pomivan]

Hello everyone.

I've installed two Noctua fans (in and out) 14" PPC http://noctua.at/en/nf-a14-industrialppc-3000-pwm/specification
And 2 fan's adapters https://www.amazon.com/Bgears-Cooling-Fan-Adapter-140mm-Black/dp/B0043GMY1U

Room temp ~21 C
FAN Mode - Auto default

After 2 hours

Temp(Chip) ~77 C
Fan1 ~1,830 r/min (dynamic)
Fan2 ~1,740 r/min (dynamic)

It's more silent than fan on the Bitmain power adapter

so a funny thing another D3 chain one was dead, using default FW i set freq to 400 in preparation of upgrading to blitz , chain 1 comes alive...

then i upgrade and no matter what power or lower freqency i set chain 1 still only shows 14 asics alive and stays dead,

flashed back to orig FW and tried the freqency trick again no luck

any tips ?

Lower the frequency a bit more on that board. set it to 300 for example

300 still nothing on that chain 1 board

even as low as 137 still dead

really strange as this board worked at 400 on the stock FW

what is your voltage setting? have you tried to send more juice to that chain, try 15 or 16 on the power settings...

voltage was default , i tried 15 and 17 voltage on 400 freqency , maybe shut the miner down ?

True, I noticed the same - now PSU is making most of the noise actually...

I'd try to shut the miner down, wait for 5min, check all cables and connection, then power up again... Try this a few times.
If one board is really not visible and you tried everything from settings, the reason might be a defective controller board. In this case, I'd suggest to flash back original FW, make screenshots and start a support ticket with bitmain.

ok , too tired atm ill try your suggestions tomorow thank you

[heythorp]

Any chance we can get the fan setting on the advance setting page?

THat way you only have to reboot once when  switching from performance/quiet setting.

Thanks

I pretty much run my machines clocked down to save power.
16,400 @ 800W  1-2v

Today I  thought I would fiddle around a bit.

Running at 19,300 @1100w 13v(bitmain stock)

So its an increase of 18% in speed and  37.5% increase in power consumption.  Its not worth it!.

Power mode Im at 500-525. Some boards will run 550 but I start creaping to 1250w. I have run it stable at 21GH but its not worth it.


in quiet mode I really have to fiddle with the settings but its mostly around 450. one board wont run low volts unless i put it down to 400.

What is your setup?
I set 450mhz/"lowest" power consumption and getting 16.5 ghs/860w. I just set global settings, do I need to set each board to get lower consumption?

Need some assistance/advice with my brand new Antminer D3.

I'm not trying to waste anyone's time so I'm going to try and be as detailed as possible so people can diagnose the problems I have.


Alright, the first day I get the miner. Runs for about 3-4 hours. Has red "fault light flash"--> check and see every chip has a red "x" restart and the entire board 3 just no longer showed up on the page.

I went and upgraded firmware and now all three are back up but the third only shows "54" chips while the rest show 60. I am unsure why this is.

It's been going well on Antpool now for about 24 hours but I've noticed it's got millions... MILLIONS of hardware errors. I am unsure how to fix this or what it means.



Here's my situation: Miner is a room with ac + window open. (80F- 60F at night). The power supply is the APW3++ from Bitmain. I'm in USA so I believe it's 120 volts if that matters.

Everything else seems to be set to default. You can see my recent miner status here: It seems to have improved hash rate for the time being?


https://imgur.com/oqT12Hf


Plus on a side note, it randomly hits 0.00 hash or something on antpool charts: https://imgur.com/a/d54aG


Anyways, should I try to use my warranty to get it fixed? What are the benefits of using this "firmware" and how is it possible that it would be quieter faster hashing, and less power? Can't Bitmain just update theirs? I'm very new to this and would love to learn so all advice is greatly appreciated.

[heythorp]

At my power saving set up I use the quiet fan setting and my performance setup i use default fan setting (its loud)


Also I can get 16.1 at like 780w or so, but I cant stay about 16 and get down to 750w.

Its very dependant on each day, as these boards are not consistant. So some days on my power saving mode I can run at 1v but some days I have to run 2. And I have one board that needs 6.

When have installed on 120V you get only 1000-1100W out of a Bitmain PSU.
The HW Errors is a fault from Bitmain, they put the frequency so high only to label the miner with 19.3GH, try in the settings to reduce the frequency to 506. this was my magic number on the last 2 D3 i get from Bitmain.

Blissz, change the Firmware you can setup for all 3 hashboards independent the Power and frequency, how you see in your pic the last hashboard is hotter, lot HW-Errors.
With this Firmware you can tweak your D3 to get the best out of all 3 Hashboards

Thank you for that understanding, but my question is what exactly does it mean to get "hardware errors" it just means it's too hot? Hasn't even hit over 70C yet on a board? Plus, If I reduce the "frequency" what exactly does that do to my hash speed? Would it result in a reduced speed or no? what're the benefits?

[BaNgTHai]

What do people mean when they are talking about the "chain" ? Thanks for your patience lol

[heythorp]

The "chain" is one of the boards. They are made up of 64? chips. they are represented by an 0 on the miner status page. If you have and x there instead of an 0 you might have a problem or you might just have to make some power setting adjusments.


D3 have 3 boards (chains).

[xpforex]

what is the point to all this if D3 is not profitable
 can some one tell me  ?
can is the point to make 6 $ and pay 2 or 3 $ of electricity ?

Exactly because they make little money ppl risk to experiment with them and try to squeeze whatever possible out of them.

I have the same problem :

Many HW and lost 6 chips in few hours...

I contacted bitmain support's I' m waitting their respons

But sometime I recover one chip and the second chain disappear ...

These things have their temperament, I have no idea how is it possible that they work different every day, or change drastically with just a power-cycle. But bitcrap miners are known for getting up on the wrong side of the bed some days.
